KNUCKLES WILL BE BRUISED. HEARTS WILL BE BROKEN. Showdown #1 is Here!
Forget the capes and the cosmic battles—On the 13th of May at KABOOOM, we’re getting down in the dirt with a gritty, grounded drama that hits like a freight train.
Showdown #1 from Ignition Press is officially on the stands, and it’s the visceral "pulp noir" we’ve been waiting for!
If you’re a fan of the dark, emotional storytelling of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ Criminal, this is your next obsession.
The Story:
Trish Sullivan is back in town, and she isn't here for a reunion. She’s here for blood.
She blames Harvey Harlowe for the death of her little brother, and she’s prepared to take an eye for an eye.
But Harvey isn't the man he used to be. With a dead father, a shattered future, and a lost scholarship, he has nothing left to lose. Trish wants a fight? Harvey is more than ready to give her one. It’s a collision course where the only thing guaranteed is that no one comes out clean.
