AHOY Comics has released the cover for the upcoming Death Dog #2, and we have your exclusive first look.
Death Dog is a two-issue mini-series by Bryce Ingman and Alan Robinson.
In a near-future America where most children have jobs instead of attending school, Wyatt—a 13-year old accused of shoplifting—is pursued by murderous robot dogs. Fortunately for Wyatt, a mysterious event transforms one of his terrifying pursuers into a tame, exuberant, and affectionate robodog who bonds with and protects Wyatt from the regular horrors of his cruel society. If you’re a 13-year old living in a country where no one protects kids, it’s nice to have a deadly robot dog in your corner.
“Are you like me? Are you terrified by robotic dogs?” asks writer Bryce Ingman. “Every time I see a news report about some police department debuting their new robot dog or a viral video showing how fast and strong the newest faux canine is, I picture it chasing me—relentless, unstoppable and deadly. Basically, robot dogs creep me out! But recently, I got to thinking, could I write a story about a soulless robot dog that becomes a soulful hero dog? Could I take what scares me and turn it into something good? And AHOY was kind enough to let me have a go at it. With the help of Alan Robinson’s brilliant art, I feel satisfied that our doggy mission was accomplished. So give DEATH DOG a read. It’s a rollicking tale of a neglected boy and a reborn ‘dog’ teaming up against a world that doesn’t give a damn about either of them.”
Death Dog #1 arrives on November 5, with issue two arriving in December 2025.
