Ice Cream Man The Mortal Coil Shuffle Card Set Special (2025 Image) comic books

(W) W. Maxwell Prince (A/CA) Martin Morazzo. Continuing their exploration into just what a comic can BE, the award-nominated team responsible for ICE CREAM MAN—one of the most enduring comics of the last decade—have pushed the envelope so far it's fallen right off the table. Presented as a beautiful, custom-designed deck of cards (featuring custom backs and a custom box, too!), The Mortal Coil Shuffle is a one-time-only, one-of-a-kind ICE CREAM MAN story...told via 55 playing cards, rather than within the periodical pages of a traditional floppy comic book. All art is, as ever, by Ice Cream Man stalwarts Morazzo, Chris OHalloran, and Good Old Neon. Some cards will tell part of the story; while other cards cast inscrutable spells on unwitting characters; and some must be joined with other cards to form a complete piece of art (the card decks version of a spread.). It's a first-of-its-kind comic experiment, and also, perhaps, the last. The Mortal Coil Shuffle will be printed once and once only—no second printings, no new runs, and never collected in a trade of any kind. It will exist—and then, like magic—it wont. So get ready to Go Fish, Draw Four, Declare War, and (probably) Fold Your Hand in this exciting comic book delivery style—told, of course, in the creepy, strange voice readers have come to expect from Ice Cream Man yarns. Good luck, and watch out for those Wild Cards! Cover price $9.99.
