Palmiotti & Brady’s The Big Con Job Puts the ‘Con’ Back in ‘Convention’

What do you do when you’re a down-on-your-luck, Hollywood has-been? Steal the show—literally! This March, publisher BOOM! Studios debuts Palmiotti & Brady’s The Big Con Job, a new limited series in the vein of Ocean’s 11 meets Galaxy Quest from writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Matt Brady, and artist Dominike “Domo” Stanton.

After working the same convention circuit for many years, a group of flabby action heroes, aging sex symbols, and sci-fi bit players have become close friends as they watch their lines get shorter and their autographs get cheaper. That is, until they hire a cocky new booking agent who offers them their only chance at a comfortable retirement by robbing one of the largest cons in the country!

Palmiotti & Brady’s The Big Con Job #1 arrives in comic shops on March 4th with a main cover by Amanda Conner for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code JAN151104. Also available in a limited quantity are a Jackpot variant cover by Jay Shaw, a 10 Years Anniversary incentive cover by Trevor Hairsine, and a retailer incentive cover by Dan McDaid.
