by Monty Nero (Author), Martin Simmonds (Illustrator), Mike Dowling (Illustrator)
Collected together for the first time, all three volumes of the irreverent, no-holds-barred graphic novel about an STI that grants superpowers at a cost of only 6 months to live...
Be enthralled by Monty Nero's hedonistic tale, with art from Mike Dowling (Unfollow, Judge Dredd) and Martin Simmonds (The Department of Truth). SEX, SUPERPOWERS AND SIX MONTHS TO LIVE! Verity: frustrated artist. Weasel: struggling guitarist. Monty: rogue media icon. Three people infected with the G+ virus, which grants them incredible powers - but will kill them in six months! Will they fade away - or go out in a blaze of glory? From the streets of London to the North Atlantic, from muses lost to futures thrown away - Death Sentence is the jaw-dropping next step in superpowered storytelling! Funny, fearless and frightening, this collection of the hit series is an unforgettable comics debut. More than any other series Death Sentence predicted the world we now live in, one of the reasons it was named Dreamcage Comic of the Decade (beating Umbrella Academy into second place). Work is underway to turn the comic into a major TV series, but nothing beats the magic of reading the original comics first. The adrenaline-fueled graphic novel is created by Monty Nero (writer and artist), and co-illustrators Martin Simmonds and Mike Dowling. Monty Nero - renowned for his sharp, socially-charged storytelling in works for Marvel, DC, and 2000 AD - spins this daring tale of superpowers entwined with mortality and satire. The visuals are a visceral feast: Mike Dowling's gritty, no-holds-barred art, as seen in Unfollow and Judge Dredd, kicks off the series with a raw intensity. Martin Simmonds - celebrated for his haunting, surreal artwork The Department of Truth by James Tynion IV - elevates the narrative with cinematic flair and hallucinatory detail. This incredible collection sees all three graphic novels brought together for the first time in marvellous mayhem!Author Biography
