OverviewMarvel Comics artist Scott Koblish (Deadpool, Spider-Man) has been illustrating his own demise for many years in morbidly funny, 4-panel black-and-white comics. He's the one person struck by a comet, suddenly overrun by a pack of baboons, resting under the precarious rock tipped by a single bird, or the target of his daughter's (of course homicidal) teddy bear come to life. Though it's always Scott on the receiving end, the comics perfectly capture that irrational feeling we all have that everything can go very wrong in one irrevocable, albeit hilarious instant. Slapstick, surreal, and eerily plausible, with extended scenarios and pops of colour throughout, this collection of cosmic reckonings shows that if the end is nigh, at least it'll probably be funny.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis whimsical collection of 4-panel comics will sate everyone's need for schadenfreude. -Paul's Picks DC and Marvel artist Koblish (Deadpool) draws himself dying in ways imaginative, mundane, and frequently impossible. In one comic after another, most only a page long, his smiling, hapless cartoon doppelg�nger is devoured by baboons, beaten by a boxing kangaroo, carried into space by balloons, killed by his own hair, and, as many cartoonists have no doubt imagined themselves perishing, left to die of old age at a fan convention while waiting for someone to buy one of his comics . His action-comics style is simplified but lifelike, and the unfortunate Cartoon Scott is cute as he naively wanders into one dangerous situation after another like a video game avatar. -Publishers Weekly DC and Marvel artist Koblish (Deadpool) draws himself dying in ways imaginative, mundane, and frequently impossible.
