PORTLAND, Ore. 11/17/2025 — Head Lopper fans rejoice! Bestselling creator Andrew MacLean is back with an all-new action/comedy co-created with gonzo artist Alexis Ziritt (Space Riders) titled, Death Fight Forever. This five issue miniseries is set to launch in February 2026 from Image Comics.

In Death Fight Forever, super-thief bruiser brothers, Crash and Bash Biggle, jump into action to help Commander Thunderfang fight inter-dimensional crime boss, Lord Slyther. But a run-in with Marla Mendoza, leader of the COPZ gang and Slyther's most formidable loyalist, changes the course of Bash's life forever.

Death Fight Forever was born from a love of ’90s beat ‘em up video games and a desire to write a comic that highlights some of the coolest art styles of our time,” said MacLean.

Dripping with retro arcade flair and nonstop, nostalgia-fueled brawls, Death Fight Forever lands a knockout punch of storytelling and is an absolute must for any comic fan’s pull list.

Death Fight Forever #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, February 18, 2026:

  • Cover A by MacLean
  • Cover B by Alex Ziritt
  • Cover C by Dylan Burnett

Death Fight Forever will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
