END OF LIFE #1

Kyle Starks and Steve Pugh launch End of Life with Eddie Stallion, a professional hitman who is really screwed up. After accidentally stealing from the Raven, a top member of the cabal of assassins the Menagerie, Eddie becomes a target with a price on his head. Seeking shelter in Pluto, a small Midwestern town, he hopes to lay low with his estranged father, only to find him dying of cancer, old friends who want the bounty paid, and rival assassins who wander in. A former newspaper cartoonist turned local crime lord and Eddie's first love from childhood complicate the picture as loyalties fracture and the town's quiet surface cracks open. Kyle Starks's sharp, brutal humor and Steve Pugh's kinetic art drive a story about a man-child with grown-up problems learning what family, danger, and consequences really mean. Includes multiple striking variant covers from acclaimed artists.
