"The first mod revival of the new millenium" - The Face
Featuring art by Warren Pleece (HELLBLAZER) with inks by Richard Case (DOOM PATROL) and Cameron Stewart (INVISIBLES) and covers by Philip Bond (KILL YOUR BOYFRIEND), Deadenders is a post-apocalyptic tale like no other.
Life is hard in Sector 5 of New Bedlam, USA. Twenty years after a mysterious cataclysm that resulted in the sky being literally destroyed. Civilization is divided into strict ghettos of the haves and have-nots. Bartholomew "Beezer" Beezenbach gets by like most other young men-dealing drugs, running the streets with his friends, fighting with his parents and his girlfriend. But there's something different about Beezer. He has visions, of people playing on a sunny beach where a toxic lake stands, and a shining city full of smiling faces where the dirty slums of Sector 5 were five seconds earlier. To make matters worse, scientists from the restricted, upper-class sector have taken an interest in Beezer and his visions, and even he may not be able to ride fast enough to outrace his destiny.
