Continuing the hot new series that Patton Oswalt calls “back-breaking laughs and shin-cracking action, plus a lot of heart”! Shane’s televised killing of his wrestling opponent upends the lives of people connected to him—including little Thomas, his super-strong toddler son. Joanne Starer (Sirens of the City) and Elena Gogou deliver the smackdown!

Featuring cover A by Erica Henderson (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl) and incentive cover B by Lane Lloyd (God-Puncher). Any retailer who orders at least 3 copies of cover A (Erica Henderson) will be eligible to order unlimited copies of cover B (Lane Lloyd).
