DEAD TEENAGERS #5 (OF 5)

DEAD AGAIN (AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN)! The '90s never ended, and now GLAAD Media Award–nominated writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle (Maw, The Neighbors) and Eisner Award–nominated artist Caitlin Yarksy (EC's Cruel Universe) are doling out the consequences for the final survivors of the twisted time loop that connects five friends across two centuries . . .  Claire and JT rush to help Brandy confront their mortal enemy . . . at New York's Coney Island amusement park, of course! Decade-old secrets come to light as the teens stumble into a glitchy trip through time more nauseating than a post-Cyclone funnel cake snack, as they struggle to end this sick and twisted game once and for all. But their enemy is seemingly operating in God Mode, with unlimited lives and damage points . . . and Brandy is so not used to having to do things sober. Will the teens finally break out of the time loop, or will they be forced to actually adult for the rest of their lives?!
