Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil from Absolute Batman's @nickdragotta.bsky.social & me is a 64-page slugfest made to honor faves like Tetsuo Hara (Fist of the North Star) & George Morikawa (Hajime no Ippo).
@sievish.bsky.social designed our cover/logo.
Out 10/1. Preorder by 9/8.
Square up.

the wraparound cover for Good Devils: Don't Play Fair With Evil, a one-shot collecting three stories by Nick Dragotta & David Brothers, designed by Sasha Head.
in an homage to 36th Chamber of Shaolin, a tall black woman named Bella strikes a martial arts pose inspired by the film's poster. on either side of her, in inset panels, are a boxer and a gunman who've been spot-colored.
To the left is text that reads: "It's a 64-Page Love Letter and we sealed it with a fist."
Above that is ordering info for the comic, with a deadline of 9/8/25, release date of 10/1/25, and Lunar Code 0825IM0298.
