COMEBACK KINGS #1 (SECOND PRINTING)

Artist: Ethan Young
Price: $2.99
Black & White with Full Color Cover, 24 pages
Bruce Lee. Jim Morrison. Elvis Presley. Andy Kaufman. Tupac Shakur. All controversial cultural icons who died before their time. Or did they? The popular mythology that these incendiary artists may’ve faked their own deaths is the jumping off point for Comeback Kings, an exciting comic which finds the legends alive and well, part of Project Resurrection, a global crime-fighting unit that’s a cross between The League Of Extraordinary Gentleman—and Celebrity Rehab. They’re the world’s most famous dead superstars—and they’re living superspies? Yep—and that’s when things really start to get wild. When a terroristic reality tv supervillain plans to extend his 15 minutes of fame by making a play for infamy via a Hollywood holocaust, the Comeback Kings must put aside their differences and reunite for an encore in order to stop him. The show must go on!

Artist: Ethan Young

After the shocking reveal of the newest Comeback King at the end of CK #1, Bruce Lee trains the team’s new recruit, Michael Jackson, hoping to turn his dance skills into martial arts moves. Meanwhile, Elvis Presley and Andy Kaufman go undercover to Las Vegas—dressed as Elvis impersonators! —to stop a terrorist posing as a magician from making Sin City disappear with a truckload of C4. This dark satire is packed with humor, action and not-so-dead celebrities!
