Briar by Christopher Cantwell

What if Sleeping Beauty never got her happily ever after... and had to save herself instead? One-hundred years after Briar Rose first fell into her slumber, the sleeper has now become the sleepwalker, and she must face a brutal, bleak world ruled by a tyrant from her past. Burdened by prophecy and betrayal, it will take everything Briar and her band of misfits have to survive the wasteland where magic went to die. As they journey through a land of untold terrors, Briar nurtures a burning pledge of vengeance. But will it be enough to bring some semblance of a happy ending to the land... and her heart? Eisner Award-nominated writer, producer, and director Christopher Cantwell (Iron Man, The United States of Captain America, Halt and Catch Fire) and rising star artist Germán García (Ka-Zar: Lord of the Savage Land) reimagine the classic tale as an epic dark fantasy adventure. Collects Briar #1-4.

Cantwell was born in the city of Chicago in the state of Illinois. The family relocated to Dallas, Texas in the 1980s. As an undergraduate, Cantwell enrolled in the University of Southern California's screenwriting department. In August of 2010, he began writing with Chris Rogers, and the two collaborated on the film Halt and Catch Fire. He is one of the creators of the television series Halt and Catch Fire, which he co-created with another person. The Parts You Lose, directed by Cantwell, will be released later this year.
