Read excerpt
Do you feel lucky? Well, do you, punk? Then I've got unbad news for you, because we're talking about the first volume of Undead Unluck, a series that looks at reasonableness, laughs in it's face, then uses a volcano to get on a fighter jet to kill the pilot and steal the plane.

Tom takes the lead walking us through this fighting series and the interesting way the characters have been decided.
