London Calling: Death Sentence returns in June

By John Freeman on March 20, 2015

Death Sentence is back with a brand new ongoing series in June.

Death Sentence: London continues the phenomenal critical and sales hit rampant with sex, drugs and superpowers in an all-new story by MontyNero, featuring art by rising star artist Martin Simmonds (Dead Roots, “Judge Dredd”, Astonishing X-Men) for a wild ride.

The cataclysmic effects of Monty’s G-positive super-rampage through London are still being felt.. but where are series icons Weasel and Verity? And what happens when the Americans – and special agent Jeb Mulgrew – get involved?

Created by writer Montynero and artist Mike Dowling, Death Sentence was a hit with reviewers, retailers and readers the world over. With Death Sentence: London,say publisher Titan Comics, “the scope is bigger, the action bolder, and the storyline more controversial than ever.”
