Hickman & Bodenheim for THE DYING AND THE DEAD
Jonathan Hickman (East of West, Secret, Manhattan Projects, Avengers) has once again teamed up with Ryan Bodenheim (Red Mass For Mars, Secret) to create The Dying And The Dead. The two have already worked together in the past with Image Comics on Red Mass for Mars and Secret. Now the solicit might not be that specific on the events happening thus it might be a little confusing. Looks like the protagonist will be in his senior years and I can’t help but think of Clint Eastwood’s recent movies. We could probably expect mystery and some supernatural elements with a hint of action based on its solicit.
THE DYING AND THE DEAD #1

ART / COVER: RYAN BODENHEIM
JANUARY 14 / 64 PAGES / FC / T+ / $4.50
“TODAY, TOMORROW, THE GRAVE”
A murder at a wedding reveals a fifty year-old secret. At great cost, a man with a dying wife is given the opportunity to save her. A lost tribe is reborn in another time. Seemingly disparate events that force relics from the Greatest Generation to come together for one last hurrah.
Brought to you by award-winning writer JONATHAN HICKMAN and fan-favorite artist RYAN BODENHEIM, THE DYING AND THE DEAD is high adventure meets end-of-life care.
It’s Indiana Jones for Old People. There are no fedoras, only bedpans.
The Dying And The Dead #1 will be out on January 28 2015.
