The Leading Man

Hollywood’s biggest star is also the world’s greatest spy!

James Bond meets The Fall Guy and an upcoming John Cena and Kevin Hart film at Netflix!

Nick Walker is America’s hottest star. Box office gold, critically acclaimed, the sexiest man alive—a picture perfect Hollywood life. But what if it’s all a cover? What if behind the tabloids and trailers, Nick Walker is more than just another actor?

Beyond the glamour and glitz lies a world of espionage more explosive than any film! Nick Walker has the perfect skills to be the world’s deadliest spy. He can play any role, drive any car, and throw a punch that will send you straight to the end credits. This dual life isn’t an accident, but a calculated position.

Globe trotting to foreign countries? He could be location scouting or toppling a terrorist cell. Keeping yourself in peak physical shape? It’s a must for the camera and hand-to-hand combat. Everything was a perfectly balanced, well-kept secret…until this shoot in France.

Writer B. Clay Moore (Bloodland, Bloodshot) and artist Jeremy Haun (Murder Podcast, The Beauty) bring their electric of tinsel town and tradecraft back to print at Igniton Press ahead of the upcoming film adaptation starring John Cena and Kevin Hart at Netflix!
