I TYRANT VOL. 1

The no-holds-barred action of 300 meets Birdman's magical realism in this new series that presents a self-portrait of an Iranian expat and his ode to Miller, Kirby, and all comics Americana. The lives of a struggling but madly ambitious Iranian playwright (Hafez Bashee) and an Arab serpent-king from 611 A.D (Zahhak) who once was given the power to halt death itself in its tracks become reticulated around a non-zero sum game. Epic action and magical mythology clash when Zahhak—a fearsome legend infamous for his stark depiction of tyrants—proposes to Hafez to toss out the death-dealingly unpromising myth’s 7th C conclusion. Instead, Hafez must retell it with a Kirby exodus for Zahhak, to give his tale a Miller reboot in the comic industry. Hafez must also deal with the risk of deportation to Iran and going home to a past and a looming persecution he does not want to face. Collects I, TYRANT #1-5
