I, Tyrant

SERIES PREMIERE There’s never been a right to return for a tyrant like Zahhak—only wander, madness, rot… But for a fleeting chance in fifteen centuries, amid the doom and decrees… the unburied and deformed ex-tyrant who once led the armies of Persepolis and slew the grandson of Xerxes has found an exodus. His name is Hafez Bashee—an Iranian college playwright who earned a fatwa on his head for bringing Zahhak to the stage in Tehran. The fatwa made Hafez an asylee in the United States. But good things are short-lived and now he’s on ICE’s removal docket. If he is deported, he’s dead.

Standing between ICE and Iran’s noose, a pact is whispered between the two. Zahhak gets his resurrection - a shot to walk among America’s comic book gods - and Hafez gets the devil’s protection. It’s the beginning of the end for things Hafez holds dear, and the start of Zahhak’s American reign.
