The wheels are turning and the heads are rolling! Thirty years ago, a tragic car accident left six people dead, leaving the small town of Adamsville scared and giving birth to the legend of Hector Cruz, a spectre who haunts the town, brutally punishing anyone who violates the rules of the road. This couldn’t be worse news for sixteen-year-old Tyler Theting, who’s about to start the first day of Driver’s Ed! Between school crushes, a sick mom, and gruesome murders, does Tyler have what it takes to conquer the road? Or will he crash out? It’s THE TOXIC AVENGER meets RED ASPHALT in the debut issue of DEADSTOP from writers Evan Michael and Zak Johnson, with chilling interiors from industry legend Damien Worm! (OCTOBER FACTION, THE EXORCISM AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE). Get your DEADSTOP #1 at your local Comic Shop in September! And remember, in Adamsville… Driver’s Ed turns into Driver’s Dead! $4.99 9/9/2026
