Deadly Class

Deadly Class, published by Cross Cult from 2019 onward, is a twelve-issue comic series that follows a group of young outcasts at a shadowy, elite academy training the next generation of assassins. Set against the grimy backdrop of the late 1980s, the series is most closely associated with writer Rick Remender and artist Wes Craig, whose kinetic, visceral style defines the book's brutal, coming-of-age energy. It matters as a sharp, punk-infused take on the teen drama genre, blending dark humor with genuine emotional stakes.
