Deathrage (2022)

Discover the secret origins of the Spartan World Order’s resident bad boy in his own series! The black sheep of the Mercs, Deathrage, has set social media buzzing with his antics at the Merc Gala (Miss Meow #1!) Now witness his heroic beginnings, his tragic betrayal, and his rise to superhero celebrity fame and fortune… and learn why the other Spartans hate him so much! The roller coaster begins here!

Deathrage has failed his first Spartan assignment... and murdered the man he was ordered to protect! What's even worse, he's now wearing the departed's mysterious, high-tech helmet and it's proving rather... unpredictable... with his brain chip implant. And what's even worse than THAT, every hit man, assassin and thug in 1986 Las Vegas is on his trail, wanting to get their hands on the helmet... and the information it possesses!

Deathrage and Fire Kiss are on the run as hordes of The Syndicate's assassins are on the hunt for the prize that is Deathrage's high-tech helmet! Meanwhile, the reports of Las Vegas crime lord Teddy's death may have been GREATLY exaggerated...

Deathrage and Firekiss have eluded the assassins of The Kodiak Syndicate (if by "eluded," we mean Deathrage slaughtering them all) but now the unlikely pair must descend into the belly of the beast... the facility where Deathrage's first Spartan assignment went horribly, horribly wrong... and where their enemies wait, plotting their revenge!

Teddy's back and Deathrage is gonna be in trouble! Betrayed, bereft, and bludgeoned beyond belief, can Deathrage possibly overcome the combined might of Teddy, Marla, and their bevy of bloodthirsty bear minions? Or is this the end for our favorite multiple personality MERC with a motormouth?

Secrets are revealed and a new status quo is established in this final issue, telling the tale of Deathrage's first assignment gone horribly awry!
