New This Week from AHOY Comics: DEADWEIGHTS #3 (of 6)

On Wednesday, June 5th, AHOY Comics is set to release DEADWEIGHTS #3, the latest issue of the buddy comedy about two unlucky henchmen trying to make their way in the world from writer Tyrone Finch (Swine, Station 19) and artist Sebastián Píriz (We Ride Titans). The comedic, action-filled six-issue series follows two members of a villainous team of evil mutants who are fired for their incompetence and try to go straight—but learn that life doesn’t get easier just because you’re wearing pants instead of tights. Each issue features a main cover by Piriz as well as a “mug shot” incentive cover by Richard Pace (Second Coming), which will form a linked image.

Here’s a look at the covers, the storyline, and preview pages for this week’s release from AHOY Comics on New Comic Book Day! #NCBD

About AHOY Comics:

AHOY Comics debuted in the fall of 2018 with the bold promise for readers to expect more from its line of comic book magazines, featuring comic book stories, poetry, prose fiction, and cartoons. The independent, Syracuse-based company is the brainchild of Publisher Hart Seely, an award-winning reporter whose humor and satire has appeared in The New York Times and on National Public Radio. AHOY’s Editor-in-Chief Tom Peyer is committed to publishing comics with a (dark) sense of humor with titles like the superhero parody THE WRONG EARTH, the religious satire HIGH HEAVEN, the sci fi spoof CAPTAIN GINGER, the time travel tales PLANET OF THE NERDS and BRONZE AGE BOOGIE, HASHTAG: DANGER and the anthology series EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR. This summer, the company will publish the highly anticipated SECOND COMING, the satirical comic book series by Mark Russell and Richard Pace in which Jesus Christ resumes His Holy Mission.
