“After Rich [Leibowitz] pitched Colossus, I listened to the song and the lyrics really spoke to me,” said Matt Hawkins, President at Top Cow back in December. “My sons are bi-racial, so the story made me think; so much so that I offered to write it myself. Intolerance, drug addiction, poverty, and boredom pave a perfect storm for a revenge tale of grisly proportions!”

Colossus introduces a bi-racial teenager in middle America who, thanks to his grandfather’s last wish, unleashes an otherworld of hurt onto his tormentors.
