When the entire crew and the inmates of prison ship Goliath 01 are massacred by the sadistic Colonel Mercer, John - the sole survivor of the ordeal - finds himself drifting through space with nothing but the dead for company. Surrounded by death in the claustrophobic confines of the ship, John must somehow find a way to escape without coming to the attention of Mercer's maniacal intentions.

If Kick-Ass and Deadpool had a baby, it would be Bad Ass! The only difference? Dead End is a villain through and through with no intentions of saving anyone. What makes Dead End so great is his self-aware humor and biting sarcasm - the mark of a true evil genius. Hard to hate and even harder to kill, Dead End is an eloquent psychopath who fights for something better than justice: himself! Collects issues 1-4.
