COMIC UPDATE: The Epic Misadventures of Deathbag: Return of the Scythe

In 2020, Co-Founder Julio A. Guerra shared that a new Deathbag issue would be in the works. In that same post, he revealed the title of the new issue Return of the Scythe. With that, some new creative faces would be joining in with creating some new stories. Ashely Esper (Ralphs) will be drawing a story penned by Julio and the Three Y’s Men (Motor City Mo) will be writing a story with Julio doing the art. As of this writing we can now confirm that Dirtbag (character teased at the end of Holier Than Thou) will have an origin story in upcoming issue.

“The Dirtbag story will be split in two parts. However, both parts will be in the same issue. They will be split by the stories that Ashley and the Three Y’s Men are working on. Like Archie digest style.” -Julio

The issue is slated for a 2021 kickster release. As of now two of the four stories have been written, with the first part of the Dirtbag origin currently in the works.

Single issues of The Epic Misadventures of Deathbag and the collection The Epic Misadventures of Deathbag: Holier Than Thou are currently available in the Guerrilla Publishing online store and select Comic shops in the Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland areas:
