Please Saran-Wrap your ass, because you're about to projectile-sh*t yourself right into the wild world of RIFTERS, where Time Cop collides with_ Law & Order_, filtered through the Stupid McSmartsalot-Einstein lens of Mr. Show.
Fenton and Geller are a couple of part-time Wisenheimers, full-time vice time-cops who suck at rule-following but excel at busting time-travel crimes. Unfortunately, their daily grind involves tedious police work—like chasing down influencers hellbent on live-streaming illegal transtemporal trips to 1920s Chicago to steal primo bootleg hooch.
However, in a twist of fate, our heroes find themselves thrust into the midst of a potential inter-time serial homicide case, forcing our pair to punch above their weight class.
The stakes are high and time is of the essence. Fenton and Geller are about to learn that playing with the homicide-time-stream isn't all flappers and jazz hands. Get ready for a high-octane, double-triple-illegal adventure where the only thing certain is that RIFTERS is rewriting the rulebook on time-travel tales!
HOLY ROLLER:
Everyone was sitting around wondering when ANDY SAMBERG (SNL, Palm Springs) would join super-star writer RICK REMENDER (DEADLY CLASS, LOW) and Fall Out Boy's multi-talented JOE TROHMAN to write a comic about a vigilante hero who smashes people's faces with a bowling ball—and everyone’s dreams have come true!
To care for his ailing father, pro bowler Levi Coen is forced to quit his dream job and return to his hometown, which he soon discovers has been overrun by Neo-Nazis! With only his bowling ball collection to defend himself, Levi becomes THE HOLY ROLLER, a trick bowling ball-wielding superhero battling to liberate his home and bowl a perfect game against crime! Kingpin meets Inglourious Basterds meets**_ Batman _(that old chestnut) with equal parts action and humor!
