Thirty-Three

Story

 

Twenty-five years ago Thirty-Three was literally one of the world's deadliest assassins, maybe even the deadliest. Until one day he escaped the world of a killer and created a whole new life, he became Andrew West. 

 

Cut to the present, Andrew is divorced, stuck in a soulless desk job, and is living in a crummy apartment. It’s not exactly the life Thirty-Three imagined. 

 

Unfortunately for Andrew, the past has come back to haunt him and his loved ones–his past being a league of superhuman assassins. Now, to ensure his family’s safety, Andrew must transport his ex-wife, young daughter, and teenage son across the state of California to a safe house. A safe house he's never actually seen! Throughout this journey Andrew will have to come face to face with those he's hurt, including himself, all while trying to fight off the world's deadliest mercenaries.

 

"If you enjoy National Lampoon’s Vacation or The Equalizer, you’ll want to back Thirty-Three. Ponce displays excellent storytelling, and I’m curious to see what he comes up with next. The life the Wests set up for each other based on trust, honesty and transparency is depicted beautifully in the final snowy pages by Guidry and Fisher. Back this project now if you’d like to see it in its full glory” - ComicsXF.com
