Comics
Ardden Entertainment has announced its new Comeback Kings title.
The comic introduces a team of spies that features Bruce Lee, Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, Andy Kaufman and Tupac Shakur.
Written by Matt Sullivan and Gabe Guarente with art by Ethan Young, the series reveals that the famously dead legends faked their own demises as part of the top-secret 'Project Resurrection'.
"The stars we chose are obviously all icons that died too young who could still be alive today," Sullivan told Newsarama. "But they also all have an audience that believes (or wants to believe) they faked their own deaths.
"We thought it'd be interesting to use that folklore as a satirical springboard to comment on both celebrity culture and the superhero genre simultaneously."
Comeback Kings will debut in March.
