Joe Kelly is best known for his charater-defining run on DEADPOOL - the movies are heavily based on the comics that bear his name, and no other writer has truly strayed rom Kelly's rendition. He also made a spash with the creator-owned Image Comics series I KILL GIANTS with artist Ken Nimura, which was later made into the feature film of the same name starring Madison Wolfe, Imogen Poots, Zoe Saldana, and directed by Anders Walter, Academy Award winner for best live action short film in 2013 (HELIUM).
The duo then came back with IMMORTAL SERGEANT. This is, according to Kelly, a story that took him many years to write. At its core is a personal tale of Kelly's relationship with his own father, who was a lifelong police officer. Accordingly, the comic follows the retirement of Sergeant Jim Sargent, who desperately needs to close one last cold case before he shuffles off into the sunset. But he's going to have to accomplish this while his estranged extended family gathers for both his retirement celebration and his son's birthday.
