About the series
At Image Comics, Rick Remender and Wes Craig brought a brutal, punk-rock sensibility to the 1980s with Deadly Class, a series that follows a group of troubled teens training at a secret academy for assassins. Running 56 issues from 2014 to 2022, the book blended coming-of-age drama with visceral action, exploring class warfare, found family, and the violent cost of survival. With Craig’s kinetic, expressive art and Remender’s sharp, character-driven writing, it became a standout in modern comics for its unflinching, stylish take on the genre.
