For Officer Syd Homes, Comedy is Hard, but DYING IS EASY

For Officer Syd Homes, Comedy is Hard, but DYING IS EASY

September 19, 2019 Off By Michael Stagno

Creators Joe Hill, a New York Times Best-Selling Author, and Martin Simmonds introduce a cop-turned-comedian in new limited series at IDW, which will launch in December.

The limited series will span over five issues and center on disgraced cop, bitter stand-up comic and wanted felon, Syd ‘Shit-Talk’ Homes, as he performs at various dive venues and grim back alley establishments, all while making enemies as he steals materials, putting a target on his back.

“Both as a writer and reader, nothing turns me on like that jolt of discovery and revelation, when the scattered parts of a narrative suddenly click together to make an unexpected picture,” said Hill. “That’s the thrill of a fair-play mystery, where all the clues are there if the reader is clever enough to spot them, and there’s a chance to match wits with the detective.”

Dying is Easy #1 (of 5) will launch this holiday season in December, 2019.
