As I recover from a super productive and very busy NY Comic Con, I learned that I missed the news and first trailer of the “Deadly Class” program which is based on the Image Comics title of the same name. Despite the trailer being initially unveiled in San Diego a few months ago, at the end of the day this is fine because the show will not air until early 2019. Let’s check it out.
Storyline: A coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of late 1980s counterculture, which follows a disillusioned teen recruited into a storied high school for assassins. (c/o IMDB)

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I must admit that I am not too up on this particular series and have only read my copy of the “Image Firsts: Deadly Class” first issue that I snagged at a Book Expo a year or so ago. As I read a stack of comics each month and document what is coming out as well, I pretty much lost track of this one but that being said, this trailer sure looks interesting. Since several shows that I watched have gone to the great beyond, I have some space on the DVR to fill and wouldn’t mind checking this one out. What about you? Chime in down below and if you like the sound of this one, the links to purchase some collected editions of the comics is down below as well.
