PETER CANNON THUNDERBOLT DESTROYER OF DEATH

PETER CANNON IS BACK — AND FISTS AND FEET WILL FLY! Dynamite’s millionaire martial artist returns in this all-new action-packed reimagining from enlightened author FRED VAN LENTE (Die!namite) and ascended artist JONATHAN LAU (Space Ghost)! As a child, Peter Cannon grew up in the secluded culture of “The Awakened,” a isolated movement blending New Age psychology, Tibetan Buddhism, extreme fitness, and other esoteric disciplines. But when a mass suicide wiped out almost all of the Awakened’s followers, an orphaned and abandoned Peter was left to find his own way in the world. Now, years later, the last surviving member of a mysterious mystical order arrives in New York City on a mission of revenge. His target? The renegade master who destroyed his clan — Peter Cannon! But taking out the fabled Lightning Vessel of the Awakened is easier said than done — especially considering that Cannon’s mind-and-body-perfected moves can collapse time and defy death itself!
