    AHOY Comics is set to release the highly anticipated second issue of DEADWEIGHTS, the uproarious buddy comedy that follows the misadventures of two hapless henchmen as they navigate life outside the villainous realm. Penned by acclaimed writer Tyrone Finch (known for his work on Swine and Station 19) and brought to life by the dynamic artistry of Sebastián Píriz (renowned for We Ride Titans), DEADWEIGHTS promises to deliver a riotous blend of humor, action, and unexpected twists.

    In this six-issue series, readers are introduced to two members of a nefarious team of evil mutants who find themselves out of a job due to their spectacular incompetence. Forced to adapt to civilian life, our unlikely heroes embark on a journey filled with hilarious mishaps and unforeseen challenges. From botched job interviews to disastrous attempts at blending in with society, DEADWEIGHTS explores the struggles of villains-turned-regular Joes, proving that life doesn’t become any easier just because you’re no longer donning spandex and capes.

    DEADWEIGHTS #2 picks up where the debut issue left off, diving deeper into the absurdities of everyday life for our bumbling protagonists. As they stumble their way through various predicaments, readers are treated to a rollercoaster of laughs and action-packed sequences that showcase Finch’s sharp wit and Píriz’s dynamic artwork.

    Notably, each issue of DEADWEIGHTS features not one, but two captivating covers. The main cover, crafted by the talented Sebastián Píriz himself, offers a glimpse into the zany world of the series, setting the tone for the comedic escapades that lie within. Additionally, fans can look forward to the “mug shot” incentive cover, skillfully illustrated by Richard Pace (renowned for his work on Second Coming). These incentive covers come together to form a linked image, adding an extra layer of excitement for collectors and fans alike.

    With DEADWEIGHTS #2, AHOY Comics continues to push the boundaries of storytelling, offering readers a fresh and exhilarating take on the superhero genre. Whether you’re a longtime comic book enthusiast or simply in search of a good laugh, this series is guaranteed to entertain and delight.
