Bulletproof Coffin: Giant! Cease to Exist

DEAR READER, PREPARE TO . . . CEASE TO EXIST! The long-awaited return of comics’ most insidiously enthralling and potently psycho-active indie comics masterwork—THE BULLETPROOF COFFIN—begins in an all-new, 72-page dose of surreal superheroes and addictive ideas reuniting creators David Hine (Spider-Man Noir, Spawn) and Shaky Kane (The Man from Maybe, The Beef)!

Inside the pages of the hyper-fictional Golden Nugget Comics imprint, a war is being waged with weapons of technological control by the Sons of Technarchy, a cabal of hyperintelligent, all-powerful trillionaires who treat entire realities as disposable playthings. Standing in their way is an unlikely last line of defense: The brave but bizarre heroes known as Eye-We-I, Scarlet Spook, Ramona—Queen of the Stone Age, Red Wraith, Coffin Fly, the Shield of Justice, and more! But as the battle for existence rages, a mind-bending meta-twist unfolds—Hine and Kane themselves are drawn into the chaos, forced to confront their own demons as creators on the brink. Cosmic, chaotic, and wildly imaginative, THE BULLETPROOF COFFIN’s first giant-sized spectacular is a genre-smashing spectacle that blurs the line between fiction and reality.
