New York Times bestselling and award-winning writer Jonathan Hickman (EAST OF WEST, THE AVENGERS) and artist Ryan Bodenheim (SECRET, RED MASS FOR MARS) have captivated critics and fans alike with their all-new adventure mystery series in THE DYING AND THE DEAD. In order to keep up with customer demand, Image Comics is pleased to announce a second printing of issue #1.
In THE DYING AND THE DEAD #1, a murder at a wedding sets of a series of reactions unraveling secrets hundreds of years old. 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 unconnected events that force relics from the Greatest Generation to come together for one last hurrah.
