Dead Legends II

In Dead Legends 2, James Maddox and Gavin Smith continue the story of Yan, Red Death, and the ensemble cast of Dead Legends. After upending the traditions of the organization, Yan's crew has fled from one temporary home to the next, narrowly escaping the assassins of Damons. Yan's newly born daughter, Yoshi, has become the group's first imperative, but her latest hideout falls to attack, scattering her friends and imprisoning them. The second volume of Dead Legends expands the world and introduces new threats, focusing on the cat-and-mouse game played against Yan by her pursuers and the revolutionary upheavals that threaten the leadership of the organization. Tournament champion Damon has taken a greater interest in his leadership role, causing instability to the world and testing Sarah's patience. The assassins hunting Yan are all fighting to capture and deliver her to their boss, Tigress, an acolyte of the late Blind Tiger. Jee Sin and Stalk are captured and locked in a Dead Legends dungeon, and their rhetoric starts to appeal to the guards, leading to a movement of revolution.

Following on the heels of their skull-crushing first volume, James Maddox and Gavin Smith are back for another story that follows Yan, Red Death, and the ensemble cast of Dead Legends. After upending the traditions of the Dead Legends organization and becoming the prime target of the tournament master, Yan's crew of exiled fighters has fled from one temporary home to the next, each time narrowly escaping the deadliest of Damons assassins. Increasing the seriousness of their situation is Yan's newly born daughter, Yoshi. Keeping Yoshi safe and happy has become the group's first imperative, but that goal is tanked as Yan's latest hideout falls to attack, and her friends are either scattered or imprisoned. This action-packed opening kicks off the second volume of Dead Legends, and the hits keep compiling from that point forward. Dead Legends 2 takes our characters off the mountainous fighting grounds and into the monasteries, the cities, and the outskirts beyond, expanding the world and introducing us to a slew of new threats. While the first volume of Dead Legends focused on a widow out for revenge, Dead Legends 2 focuses on the cat-and-mouse game played against Yan by her pursuers, and the revolutionary upheavals that threaten the leadership of the organization that has infiltrated some of the highest positions in modern society. The last time we saw tournament champion Damon, he was a drunken master in the ring and an aimless leader everywhere else. But now that he is driven to destroy Yan, Damon has taken a greater interest in his leadership role. This newfound instinct is an unfortunate development for Sarah, who had been running Dead Legends from the shadows while Damon bumbled drunkenly past his responsibilities. Now that Damon is diverting all of the organization's resources to his personal vendetta against Yan, Sarah must find a way to stop him before it's too late. As the stakes continue to rise, Sarah and her team must navigate a treacherous web of lies and betrayal, all while trying to keep Yoshi safe from the growing danger that surrounds them. With the tournament master closing in on them, and Damons assassins hot on their trail, Sarah and her friends will have to use all of their skills and resources to survive and bring down the organization that has threatened their lives and the lives of countless others.
