Three idiots, a serial killer, and a quest to cure the world's worst 'illness' King Feet is a ginger cat-man convinced he's dying of a terminal illness (he is not). Kaiser is the world-weary robot who has to keep his friends alive despite themselves. Hygiene has not removed his gas mask in years and will burn you alive for asking why. Together, they're on a quest across a broken, absurd multiverse to find a cure, one that requires stealing a corpse from Death, skin from a chain-smoking phoenix, and a brain from the center of a black hole. Naturally, nothing goes according to plan. Meanwhile, a meticulously well-dressed serial killer known only as the Seeder is having a dreadful week. Between fending off a deranged colleague with a talking reflection living in his head, surviving a psychological evaluation from a sentient orb, and hunting the gang who ruined his evening, he's beginning to suspect the universe has personally taken an interest in ruining his hobbies. Equal parts slapstick and slasher, this is a story about found family, terrible decision-making, and the kind of gods who charge you for favors in pineapple pizza. Expect gallows humor, a body count that climbs suspiciously fast, and a cast of characters who are all, without exception, the worst possible person to be in charge.
