Mark Russell, Leonard Kirk and Richard Pace are launching a third Second Coming volume, Trinity from Ahoy Comics, in April.
Mark Russell doesn’t write every comic book at Ahoy Comics. But sometimes it does feel like it. In Ahoy Comics’ April 2023 solicits, that includes launching the third volume of Second Comics, about the superhero roommate of Jesus, drawn by Leonard Kirk and Richard Pace. Then there’s the sixth issue of Billionaire Island: Cult Of Dogs drawn by Steve Pugh. And then there’s a collection of My Bad by Mark Russell, Bryce Ingman and Peter Krause. If it weren’t for The Gimmick #2 by Joanne Starer and Elena GoGou, it would have been a clean sweep.
