Dead End has finally reached his namesake– there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, especially once the Black Snake gets on his trails. As a wealthy vigilante, the Black Snake feels that it’s his job to bring the deviously cunning Dead End to justice. But Dead End won’t go easy. After some shocking revelations into his origin story, it becomes clear that Dead End is no run of the mill villain– he is a tried and true psychopath with sharp wit in place of emotions.

If Kick-Ass and Deadpool had a baby, it would be BAD ASS! The only difference being that Dead End is a villain through and through with no intentions of serving anyone. What makes Dead End so great is his self-aware humor and biting sarcasm— the mark of a true evil genius. Hard to hate and even harder to kill, Dead End is an eloquent psychopath who fights for something better than justice: himself.

Dynamite has released an early five page preview of interior artwork from the first issue of Bad Ass, a four-issue limited series scheduled for release starting in January 2014.

Bad Ass is the brainchild of writer Herik Hanna and artist Bruno Bessadi, celebrated for its “evil genius, sinister wit, and wild abandon.” Bad Ass introduces Dead End, an unstoppable vigilante who may claim to be a masked avenger… but he’s a villain through and through, with a cause even greater than serving justice: serving himself.

As part of Dynamite’s initial announcement regarding the new series, artist Bruno Bessadi had described the character and his motivations: “With Bad Ass, we are delivering a true tribute to — and parody of — American superhero comic books.  Dead End is an antihero with uninhibited wickedness, which — let’s face it — we all secretly wish we could embrace.  It’s pure black humor and action, through and through!”  Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of Dynamite, has proudly compared the series to such irreverent comics as Deadpool and Kick Ass.
