That's the dilemma facing three people who've contracted the G+ Virus, a terrifying new STD. What can graphic designer Verity, failing indie guitarist Weasel and roguish media personality Monty do in the time they have left? Fade away - or go out in a blaze of glory? By turns funny, dark, sad and spectacular, Death Sentence is an emotional thrillride through celebrity, loss, passion and creativity. It's the jaw-dropping next stage in superpowered storytelling! Packed with unforgettable shocks, quotable dialogue and the character finds of a generation, this is an unmissable debut by two striking and confident new voices!
If you want something totally different from ALL the super-hero books on the stands that also stands apart from the wide array of independent comics, ask your local comic shop to order Death Sentence as part of their June order so you can check it out in October! Read Full Review

You've got six months, what would you do? I'd say read this book! Read Full Review
Here's the pitch then, Dear Reader. If you're a Metal Monkey, and the appearance of HIV damaged your sense of future, Death Sentence will read like all your favorite episodes of Doctor Who, like every emotion you've never realized you've had. But if you're not, if you've been born into a world that's already been rendered safer and smaller, and just a tiny bit uglier, then Death Sentence will read like only the best parts of Watchmen—a social analysis that exceeds the medium of comics, easily the equal of Dostoyevsky or Dickens.

People looking for superhero comic books that don't involve gimmick covers, but do involve intriguing concepts will want Death Sentence. Read Full Review
I love the premise and ideas presented in Death Sentence and it definitely has me hooked. While this first issue didn't floor me, the problems don't deter me from wanting to read more. It will be nice to see the characters continue to cope with their predicament and, hopefully, use their powers to shed some of their negative qualities. Death Sentence is something truly unique and I suggest those looking for something different pick up the first issue when it's released. Read Full Review
This series has a great concept that was eagerly anticipated for a number of months. As an opening issue meant to grab the attention of new readers, the subsequent opinion is one of relative neutrality mixed with hopeful optimism. While the premise is interesting and quite unique, the anticipation for more substance was not fully accomplished. It remains to be seen what the protagonists will attempt to achieve in their final six months among the living, but there were definitely hints at interesting and potentially far-reaching plot developments and consequences in future issues. The story is brimming with potential, and a lot of the writing was executed with masterful precision. In the end, it is absolutely worth sticking with this series to find out what new territory it may cover. Read Full Review
