VENGEANCE AWAITS
DEATH DESERVED is a dark fantasy comic book series perfect for fans of HELLBOY and MONSTRESS.
Creators Gary Chudleigh (Discworld, LEGO Avengers) and Ahmed Raafat (Dark Horse Comics) will take you to the dangerous world of SUPERIUM CITY - a hellhole rife with corruption and home to a cult of hired killers.
This project is fiercely independent.
And we need YOU to bring it to life.
THE STORY
ARANEA, the last survivor of a spider-born race, is hellbent on revenge for who destroyed her colony.
Lost and alone in Superium City, she finds herself mentored by a cult of killers who claim to carry out justice to those who are ‘death deserved’.
But it’s all a lie.
The cult kill for money and now Aranea is on the hit list.
Aranea, hunted relentlessly, finds a partner in ONURIS, a hulking former-assassin looking to serve true justice in the world.
Together they go on a mission for vengeance, for justice, and to discover the truth behind the threat to Aranea’s life.
