Ahoy Comics has announced the upcoming release of the new six-issue series Deadweights. The comic is designed to be a buddy comedy following two henchmen recently fired for incompetence. The series is written by Tyrone Finch with art by Sebastian Piriz. Issue #1 comes to stores from Ahoy Comics on April 10, 2024.
Here’s the synopsis:
Count Dingo and the Marauders are a team of misunderstood evil mutants bent on world domination, whose diabolical plans range from robbing local credit unions to unleashing a biological disaster that will rid the planet of all non-mutants. After Jerry “Cannonbulk” Patton and Clarence “Bounder” Barrett make a mistake that leads to another defeat at the hands of the mutant superhero team The Paladins, the two “deadweights” are unceremoniously dumped from the team. Realizing that they are not cut out for world conquest, Jerry and Clarence don pants and try to pursue ordinary lives—but going straight is not as easy as it seems. DEADWEIGHTS takes a hard look at what happens after the fight when the villains are tired of being villains, and the heroes aren’t as heroic as they want you to think.
