A savage satire reuniting the critically acclaimed team behind DC's The Flintstones-writer Mark Russell (SECOND COMING) and artist Steve Pugh (Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass)-in a new graphic novel. Welcome to Billionaire Island, where anything goes?if you can afford it. But the island's ultra-rich inhabitants are about to learn that their ill-gotten gains come at a VERY high price.
"Social commentary with an uncompromising determination and a caustic wit, Billionaire Island is going to get readers talking every bit as much as [Mark Russell's] SECOND COMING." -Broken Brontier
"A nasty piece of art that bares its teeth at the 1 percent with a level of bloodlust not seen nearly enough in the graphic medium." -CBR
"The commentary and wit are as sharp as ever. The art is fantastic. The characters are engaging. ? Huge credit goes to Steve Pugh, who draws Canto with a face that can only be described as 'punchable.'" -Comics Bulletin
"Biting satire with something to say?. Timely in its approach to climate change, income inequality, and sexism, Billionaire promises to do to the uber rich what SECOND COMING did to the co-opting of the Christian faith." -Insights Magazine
"To call the recent work of writer Mark Russell 'brilliant,' 'ambitious' and 'subversive' would be the understatement of the decade. ? Now, he's bringing his magic touch to BILLIONAIRE ISLAND, the perfect social satire in an era where phrases like 'eat the rich,' 'billionaires shouldn't exist' and 'bring out the guillotines' are being uttered with rapidly decreasing levels of irony by a starving and furious populace." -WMQ Comics
"The most emotionally devastating comic book in recent memory." -Vox, on Russell & Pugh's The Flintstones

"This book continues to be one of the

book not to be missed." -
