Pounded

In a city filled with trust-fund babies and armchair revolutionaries, Heavy

Parker rules the punk scene as a benevolent dictator. He sings lead in a local

hardcore band. He puts out zines, pseudo-revolutionary material, and flypost

propaganda about town. It's good to be king. Or at least it is until Missy,

Heavy's girlfriend, goes away for college. How can a guy like Heavy be expected

to handle a long-distance romance? Short answer: He can't. Missy is out of sight

and Heavy's mind is already drifting towards his next sexual conquest. A king

can't be expected to live without a queen. But can he maintain his throne when

Missy returns, reborn as a true NYC punk and pissed as all hell? Can Heavy

survive a true group of hardcores invading his turf or will he just wind up

POUNDED? This new trade paperback collects the critically acclaimed three-issue

miniseries by Brian Wood (COUSCOUS EXPRESS, CHANNEL ZERO) and Steve Rolston

(QUEEN & COUNTRY, MEK).
