NEW 56 PAGE SERIES DEBUT. Brian Azzarello (THE BLOOD BROTHERS MOTHER, 100 Bullets) and Stephanie Phillips writing together for the first time (Grim, Harley Quinn) team up with artist Danijel Zezelj (Nostalgia) and colorist Lee Loughridge (Deadly Class) to create a masterfully crafted flip book, housing two enthralling narratives that collide in unexpected ways. In the future, a death penalty will be considered an act of kindness, as covert experiments have forced criminals with multiple life sentences to live all their time to full term. For the “Casanova Killer,” that means living out the nearly 2,400 years of his 32 life sentences mining on a distant prison planet alongside some of humanity’s most heinous offenders. Years pass… Decades turn to centuries, abandoned, the prisoners are shocked to see a ship approaching—filled with thieves hoping that their next big score is on the planet’s long dead mine. They have no idea that the prisoners—are still alive. While the prisoners scheme to find a way off planet, the thieves plan the biggest score of their careers. Each issue of "LIFE” is a flip book, housing one story from two different perspectives. A prison break and a heist both offer interlocking narratives, creating an immersive experience that will challenge your perceptions of justice while begging the immortal question: Who really wants to live forever? For fans of ALIENS, OCEAN’S ELEVEN, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.

A sci-fi story with an unexpected twist! I am a huge fan of both Azzarrello and Phillips, so when I heard they were writing a book with two converging stories I was intrigued. The book is formatted to where you read half of a story and then flip the book to read the other half. I thought this was going to be a gimmicky way to tell the story, but it was handled masterfully! The art fits the tone of a dark sci-fi future, and the styles blend well together across both stories. One story is about a “retired” thief doing one last big score, and the other is about a futuristic prison planet where inmates live out multiple life sentences in the most literal sense. I would say more, but it’s best to see how these stories converge on your own.
