With pencils and inks by Chilean artist Gonzalo Martínez (Road Story, The Quique Hache Detective), colorist Arthur Hesli (Thunderbolts, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), and editor Heather Antos, with cover art by Declan Shalvey (Immortal Hulk, Thundercats) and Elsa Charretier (Harley Quinn, Star Wars). Letters by Coyle.
The clock is ticking in Harbor City: if there is a fifth ritual killing committed by the sinister cult started by Bixby Grant’s brother Max, a hellmouth will open and bring about hell on earth. To find the ancient dagger needed for this killing, Bix has chased a ghost, had his arm ripped off, thrown a cat-burglar off a building, shaken down mystics, been brain-probed by a nine-year-old witch, and is now in the clutches of the mysterious society of monsters known as The Council Macabre. With the help of Diego, the rockabilly vampire, Bix discovers the identity of the killer who has picked up where his long-lost brother left off in a secret lair beneath the streets of Harbor City.
Issue #4 also continues the eight-page backup Zombietown, featuring art by Argentinian artist Gonzalo Ruggieri (Rumble, Convert, Two Moons), which follows Detective Maritza Ramirez deep into the undead-controlled quarantine zone known as Z-Town, where her search for the truth behind her father’s disappearance puts her face-to-face with Il Cosa Muerte, the zombie mafia!

Patrick Coyle sees Issue #4 as the moment Bix can no longer outrun his past:
“Bix is a member of the Silent Generation, which means he doesn’t talk about his feelings. Ever. Pain and trauma are locked away and ignored. But in Issue 4 of Fangs & Brimstone, Bix’s worst fears are realized – he uncovers proof that someone has taken up the mantle of his long-lost brother Max’s cult, and they plan to unleash Hell on Earth. If Bix can’t face and move past his one-hundred-year-old issues with Max, then humanity is doomed!”
It’s pulp fanfare with a twist of supernatural noir stories with a genre twist! Dedicated to fans of Hellboy, The Spirit, Batman: The Animated Series, The Goon, Gotham Central, and B.P.R.D.
