SUICIDERS (ALL 6 ISSUES) DC/VERTIGO 2015
----------------
1- "The Brutality Malady" *In the post-apocalyptic city of New Angeles, killing isn’t just a crime – it’s entertainment. When the “big one” finally hit the West Coast, Los Angeles was left in ruins. And when the U.S. government decided to cut the city loose, things went from bad to worse. To survive, L.A. did what it does best: It turned survival into entertainment. Now, thirty years later, the city of New Angeles is thriving once more thanks to the blood sport known as SUICIDERS – a TV series that combines the spectacle of hand-to-hand combat with elaborate, high-tech obstacles that test each competitor’s ability to survive. But these competitors have an edge: They’ve been freakishly enhanced by drugs and technology. The results are both marvelous and monstrous, as the man called The Saint begins to rise above his fellow Suiciders. SUICIDERS is a dark, post-apocalyptic epic that tells the story of a strange, brutal world, written and illustrated by Lee Bermejo, the #1 New York Times best-selling writer/artist behind JOKER, BATMAN: NOEL, LUTHOR and BEFORE WATCHMEN: RORSCHACH.
2- More of the mystery behind The Saint is revealed as a new challenger rises in Lost Angeles - the near-future dystopian hell created by fan-favorite Lee Bermejo (JOKER, BATMAN: NOEL).
3- After an investigative journalist is mysteriously killed on his glittering estate, the darkest secret of the Saint is about to be revealed. Meanwhile, the young challenger Straniero begins his bloody climb out of the hardscrabble streets of Lost Angeles.
4- As the mysterious origin of the "Saint of Suicides" deepens, up-from-the-gutter challenger Straniero finally gets in the ring. But he's not fighting in the sold-out arena in front of millions of adoring fans - he's fighting The Beast in a life-or-death street brawl that will forever change his destiny.
5- The rising fighter Straniero gets a visit from Grayson, the king-making manager of The Saint…but is Grayson ready to punch Straniero’s ticket to the big time or just punch his ticket permanently? Find out in the penultimate issue of Volume 1!
6- In the epic conclusion to the opening story arc, the secrets of the Saint of Suicides are finally revealed...in blood and fire! The up-and-comer Straniero finally gets what's coming to him...and nothing will ever be the same.
