Set 150 years in the future, it takes place in the city of Ascencia, which towers above its sister city Bethany.

SWEET DOWNFALL #1

IF you like your comics quirky, then this is the one for you. Sweet Downfall is the story of Jonny, an old-model crash test dummy who’s been repurposed by a mob boss to be a hitman.

He’s never failed at his job – until the day he’s asked to take out a Mermaid.

When Johnny decides to save her instead, the chase is on through crumbling skyscrapers and colossal cyber-angel statues.

Gorgeous artwork combines with a stellar tale both from the imagination of Stefano Cardoselli.

Sweet Downfall #1 is out now, priced £3.60.

ANIMATION IS COMING

THE final season of Game of Thrones may have soured the entire series for most fans, but that hasn’t stopped

HBO planning new outings to Westeros.

There’s already a spin-off series and a prequel in the works, and now an animated show is rumoured to be in development.

Revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, it’s been cautioned that it’s early stages, and the show may not make it off the drawing board. But what is known is that the plan is for an adult focused ‘cartoon’ and not a Saturday morning show for the kids.
