This is a big book that reads like an epic! It's all about sex, drugs, Rock 'N Roll, and superpowers. The art is shocking with lots of nudity and over-the-top violence. But it has an intriguing idea that will keep you reading. Here's all the info from Titan Comics:

Collected together for the first time, all three volumes of the irreverent, no-holds-barred graphic novel about an STI that grants superpowers at a cost of only 6 months to live…
Death Sentence is an adult story featuring swearing, drug-taking, sex, violence and it's blackly funny too. Snort your coffee across the room funny!
SEX, SUPERPOWERS AND SIX MONTHS TO LIVE!
Verity: frustrated artist. Weasel: struggling guitarist. Monty: rogue media icon. Three people infected with the G+ virus, which grants them incredible powers – but will kill them in six months! Will they fade away – or go out in a blaze of glory? From the streets of London to the North Atlantic, from muses lost to futures thrown away – Death Sentence is the jaw-dropping next step in superpowered storytelling! Funny, fearless and frightening, this collection of the hit series is an unforgettable comics debut.
More than any other series Death Sentence predicted the world we now live in, one of the reasons it was named Dreamcage Comic of the Decade (beating Umbrella Academy into second place). Work is underway to turn the comic into a major TV series, but nothing beats the magic of reading the original comics first.
This incredible collection sees all three graphic novels brought together for the first time in marvellous mayhem! Features art by Martin Simmonds — artist on Department of Truth by James Tynion.
Now, let's take a look inside:
Death Sentence: The Complete Collection is on sale July 1, 2025 at bookstores, comic shops and digital. Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million and Forbidden Planet for UK.
