About the Comic:
Brace yourself for “The First Cut” — a brutal crossover where Death’s Head II crosses neural implants with Die-Cut, the telepathic slicer of minds and memories. In this dark, dystopian one-shot from Marvel UK, we witness the origin of Die-Cut, a twisted former Psyko agent turned reality-ripping antihero with a soul blade and serious mental baggage.

Written by Dan Abnett and drawn by Geoff Senior (both legends of the Marvel UK era), this comic is jammed with chrome, angst, and psychotronic violence — a collector's dream from the wild west of 1990s Marvel.

• Cover: High gloss with no creases, sharp corners

Fresh from the Reaper’s chrome-and-sinew file — where the first cut is always the deepest.
