Based on a fantastic book by Rick Remender. The first issues of Deadly Class focus on the story of Marcus Lopez as he transitions from living on the streets to being enrolled into a school of assassins. The academy, run by Master Lin, is composed of children of mob bosses and mass murderers, learning the same trade as their parents. Marcus's decision to attend the school is one of the only decisions he gets to make for himself throughout the arc and history. His entire life has been composed of unfortunate events, each leaving him further ostracized from humanity. Marcus's lack of residence is primarily due to both of his parents dying in a horrible accident when he was young. This resulted in Marcus being placed into an orphanage, in which the head of the house required his manual labor for him to retain residence. This continued degradation of his sanity through the abuse by the hands of his roommates and guardians eventually drives him to committing a massive act of violence.
Cool to see a little of it. Bummed it's not out until next year. Also apparently they just replaced the showrunner today. Really need to go back and get caught up on the comic.
I was planning on re-reading the series before the premiere but seeing as they just released the pilot I couldn't wait. Really enjoyed the first episode with that being said.
I don’t think I could ever take this show seriously with the name Kings Dominion floating around as a group. I think I would giggle every single time.
I was expecting that episode to be the season finale since that whole thing happens at the end of the first volume of the comic but they've already used other things ahead of time anyway. Show is awesome.
