Death Fight Forever #2
(W) Andrew MacLean (A) Alexis Ziritt
After the events of issue one, Bash and Marla are awash with grief and rage. Marla confronts Lord Slyther, while Bash confronts the bottom of a bottle. Both are left worse for wear, but together, the would-be enemies may have what it takes to reap the revenge they desperately desire.
Andrew MacLean and Alexis Ziritt have a knock-out hit on their hands with the debut of Death Fight Forever.

Image Comics has fast-tracked this hot new series for reprint in order to keep up with escalating demand.
In Death Fight Forever, super-thief bruiser brothers, Crash and Bash Biggle, jump into action to help Commander Thunderfang fight inter-dimensional crime boss, Lord Slyther. But a run-in with Marla Mendoza, leader of the COPZ gang and Slyther’s most formidable loyalist, changes the course of Bash’s life forever.
Dripping with retro arcade flair and nonstop, nostalgia-fueled brawls, Death Fight Forever lands a knockout punch of storytelling and is an absolute must for any comic fan’s pull list.

It’s clear writer Carlos Giffoni loves Jack Kirby as the series drips the cosmic craziness.
Twenty years have passed since the events of the previous two volumes, separating the riders from each other. Things start off with, assassins attacking Peligro for reasons unknown. Yet, they are swiftly eliminated in battle when Mono calls him using the stars themselves. Peligro manages to arrive in time to save Mono from the spirt of Maria Lionza. Mono reveals the strange, mystical origin story of the women and the threat her return represents to the universe. Will the riders save the universe again?
The art by Alexis Ziritt is a fantastic blend of psychedelic color schemes and science fiction. It took feels like a love letter to Kirby and psychedelic 70s rock posters. Ziritt shows us the lethality and combat prowess Peligro has retained, as he easily fights off and dispatches his assassins. It sets up the character as one who might be able to take on a god. Ziritt also delivers some fantastic visuals as we learn more about the gods and what threat looms.
Space Riders: Vortex of Darkness #1 is the start of the latest cosmic space opera that is a love letter to comic creator greats while forging its own path.
