PORTLAND, Ore. 02/19/2026 — Bestselling Head Lopper creator Andrew MacLean and gonzo artist Alexis Ziritt (Space Riders) have a knock-out hit on their hands with the debut of Death Fight Forever. The premier issue of the action-packed new series sold out completely at the distributor level yesterday, day-of-release, and joined the likes of breakneck sell-out sensations D’orc by Brett Bean and White Sky by William Harms and J.P. Mavinga. Image Comics has fast-tracked this hot new series for reprint in order to keep up with escalating demand.
"I’m so thrilled that people are loving Death Fight Forever! It started as this funny little love letter to old video games, then it became a nightmarish mountain of manual labor, and finally, like Frankenstein's monster, it broke free of its shackles and was unleashed on the world in all its manic glory," said MacLean. "Only time will tell if it’s for good or for evil.”
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.
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.
