Every hundred years, an ancient immortal clan faces a brutal reckoning: fight for survival, crown an Alpha, and pass on the gift of eternal life — while the rest fall back into mortality.

What happens when a 2,000-year-old Immortal Warlord decides he’s done? In Eat Your Young, Edmund Irons names his six-year-old daughter, Elsa, as the next Alpha of his immortal clan. But every hundred years, during a brutal 27-day window known as The Centurium, his children have one chance to rip out his heart and claim the throne — or lose their immortality forever. Now, Edmund’s thirty offspring — an iconic cast of genre archetypes like The Cold War Spy, The Serial Killer, The Vigilante, The Punk Rocker, and The Billionaire Futurist — turn on their father and each other in a zero-sum battle for eternal life.

Written by NY Times best-selling author Brian Buccellato (No/One, Midlife, Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong), reteams with artist Mattia Monaco (Chicken Devils) on this action-packed, blood-soaked family war.

About the Author

Brian Buccellato is a #1 New York Times best-selling author and screenwriter, renowned for his work on The Flash, Batman, and Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong for DC Comics. Raised in Queens by a single Puerto Rican mother, he began his career as a colorist for Marvel and DC before transitioning into writing—an unconventional path that shaped his unique approach to storytelling. His creator-owned works (Midlife:Or How To Hero at Fifty!, Chicken Devil, NO/ONE) have been praised by fans and critics alike for their ability to blend dark themes with emotional authenticity, often drawing from his experiences as a father of three. Beyond comics, Brian has expanded into film and television, bringing his signature mix of epic spectacle and grounded, human stakes to projects such as The Painter and Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders for Paramount+. His third feature, The Low, is currently in pre-production.

Comic book artist from Southern Italy. Working across the American and Italian comic scenes, and diving into sound experiments with synthesizers. (Chicken DevilS, KALYA, and Knock Em Dead)

Buddy Beaudoin is a professional comic book letterer and writer living in upstate, NY. His clients include Mad Cave, DC, Dark Horse, Image, and others. His creator-owned comic Corvus is available now wherever you buy books.
