The Living Corpse: The Hexx Files #1

The Living Corpse returns in an all new one-shot featuring two tales of undead mayhem!

When an ancient evil awakens that threatens both the living and the dead, The Living Corpse must reluctantly join forces with Mac Hexx, a former paranormal investigator turned enigmatic warlock. Together, they’ll face an unstoppable threat that could destroy the fragile boundary between life and death itself. A deadly curse has been unleashed—one tied to the very essence of both their worlds—and it’s up to these two dark figures to stop it. The Living Corpse, bound by death yet fueled by a twisted sense of justice, and Mac Hexx, a once-brilliant investigator turned reluctant occultist, are forced to put aside their differences and confront a force so malevolent, not even their combined powers may be enough to stop it. Written by acclaimed writer David Michelinie, co-creator of Venom and Carnage and drawn by THE LIVING CORPSE team of Ken Haeser, Buz Hasson, and Blair Smith!

Also in a world where the line between life and death is razor thin, The Living Corpse has faced horrors that would break the strongest of men. But nothing could prepare him for the ultimate predator. The King of Vampires. The Prince of Darkness. Dracula. When the ancient Count rises from the grave once again, determined to claim the world as his own, the Living Corpse must face off against an enemy who has nearly conquered death itself. Can the Living Corpse survive the bite of Dracula, or will the bloodthirsty king of the night finally claim what death has denied him? As the undead lock in a battle of wills, it’s a fight to the death—literally. Written by David Zuzelo with art by Neil Vokes!
