JET CITY COMICS Limited Series

KING (2015)

"From critically acclaimed writer Joshua Hale Fialkov (I, Vampire) and superstar artists Bernard Chang and Marcelo Maiolo (Green Lantern Corps) comes a post-apocalyptic Conan the Barbarian as directed by Sam Raimi circa Army of Darkness. King just wants what anybody wants: not to get fired, eaten, or forced to mate with a cheetah lady. As Earth's sole human survivor after the apocalypse, life among Los Angeles' strange, new populace ain't easy. Working for the LA Department of Reclamation, King gets a lot of crappy jobs going on quests and searching for artifacts from the 'old world,' which can range from the mythical (Excalibur!) to the absurd (an iPod Shuffle). The work commute can be a real pain in the asphalt, the 405 freeway is filled with mutants, monsters, mayhem and tentacled Elder Gods. And that's all before you hit the horrors of the San Fernando Valley. As the world's freakish inhabitants battle for supremacy, King searches for the 'seed of life,' which may give Earth the second chance it probably doesn't even deserve. "

  2. KING #2 (OF 5)

    "As toddlers, King and Queen were the undisputed champions of gladiatorial-style death matches. Until they ran out of opponents and were forced to turn on one another! King learns how lethal sibling rivalry can be when he is shockingly reunited with his long-lost sister. Queen wants King dead. Probably because he once tried to behead her. Can King escape Queen and her army of cyborg bears? And even if he does, how will he get out of Encino in one piece?"

  3. KING #3 (OF 5)

    "King risks everything-even his crappy job-to protect Roze, a mysterious woman with regenerative abilities. King suspects that Roze just might be capable of giving Earth a new lease on life. While King and Roze flee through Laurel Canyon, he desperately tries to remember something-anything-from his boss's 'lifeseed' orientation class."

  4. KING #4 (OF 5)

    "After absconding with Roze, King is about to get the most painful pink slip of all time. And if being hunted by his pterodactyl co-worker wasn't harrowing enough, King and Roze fight for their lives as they evade a robot army modeled after one of history's most fear-inducing organizations - the LAPD!"

  5. KING #5 (OF 5)

    "King's epic journey concludes with a battle royal of epic proportions! Literally. King's about ankle-high to a giant Elder God that's ready to smite our hero down. But King's problem's still aren't big enough. Queen, an army of robotic bears, an angry coworker, and a very vengeful transpecies biker gang quickly join the fray. Everyone wants a piece of King, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance!"
