hey if anyone wants to watch Deadly Class for free, go on seez its on there the whole season and episodes. your welcome

I really loved the show, and was sad that they decided to cancel it. Is there any talks of the show returning? May be some other platform would be interested in buying it?

so me and my sister LOVE umbrella academy but i have a high preference towards deadly class however i still love both. ive been trying to convince her to watch deadly class for months but she always seems to refuse, ive tried so many tactics and the closet bribe ive got too is telling her it has similar vibes to umbrella academy. i need to know if people agree or if theres another way i could get her into watching it? thanks!

So after Z told New York Times about her story we can see her leaving building alongside Tosahwi on taxi but what happens next ? What happened after, have they been killed by Shabnam or they made it out ? The next issues don't give a drop of information at all

I just started reading the comics (finished issue #7) but I'm really enjoying it and curious to watch the TV show. for those that have seen it, what is the pace compared to the comics? I don't want to get any spoilers from watching... should I wait until I've finished a certain issue / is it 1:1 ?

Re-reading Deadly Class and noticed that right before Willie’s death, he apologizes and when we see his body, he’s teary eyed

Anyone think there’s a chance he was trying to trick Marcus?

Marcus is a character I am constantly going back and forth about due to his personality. His story is a very sad and depressing one, but the way he goes about dealing with it just puts him in an even deeper hole for context. Marcus parents were killed by a mentally unstable woman, leaving him an orphan. After this, he is raised in an orphanage that is secretly a children's sweatshop, where the kids are abused verbally and physically; even his own roommate abuses him, leaving scars all over his body. After Marcus escapes the orphanage, he is forced to live as a homeless person on the mean streets of San Francisco in the 1980s. I understood Marcus worldview early on. He sees everything as black and white due to the circumstances that life has thrown at him. Even when he has something good going on, he is constantly worried that he or something else will ruin it. He has a very narcassistic, punkish attitude that is reflective of his point of view. He is constantly being called out by the other characters because of how far he takes his personality. Marcus world isn't one for the faint of heart, so I am able to give him a pass. but through out the entire 56-issue run of the series, we only have one moment that Marcus worldview changes that would be in issue 52, which takes place during a time skip. Marcus and his girlfriend Maria are trying to live normal lives, making a promise to each other to never go back to the assassin lifestyle. It's a beautifully written issue where we see Marcus change and have a hopeful idea of what the future holds, even if his current circumstances aren't the best. All of this is best summarized in the letter he writes for his future children. I was never a huge Marcus fan, but this issue really made me start appreciating him for showing another side of himself.

I was an avid fan of Deadly Class and got into the series due to the show. I was all caught up on the issues when I learned that it would be coming to an end. I had a bunch of ideas for where the story could go. We already had a time skip of a few years where Marcus moves from being an angsty teenager to an angsty grown man, so I'm reading the final arc where all we keep getting is time skip after time skip. I'm thinking okay. For me, it's a story element I'm not fond of, but I have confidence that Remender knows what he's doing and that it's all part of his master plan. Issue 51 sees Marcus on an assassination mission to take out a target; it turns out to be Marías crime lord husband. Fast forward: Marcus meets Maria for the first time since kings dominion was destroyed, and they get back together. Issue 52 comes out, and it has been a year since the events of Issue 51. Maria and Marcus are doing their best to live normal lives, and they learn how rough the world really is when you're an adult. Apart from being the single best issue of the entire run because we finally see Marcus come full circle and actually move away from having such a pessimistic mindset to a hopeful one.

 I understand that Remender probably wasn't concerned with the small details and wanted to keep the story moving forward, but it ruins the continuity for me. My issues begin with this.

We know from the beginning that Marcus was blamed for the destruction of the children's orphanage he was raised in, and the police were after him, so they knew his identity. There was even a whole sting operation in the first issue where they tried to capture him, but the students from the school intervened. The plotpoint of him being a wanted man isn't really brought back at all after this; he roams the streets freely, but it becomes more confusing in issue 52 when he actually settles down and has a job and a wife. My theory about Marcus not being on the police radar anymore is that Master Lin pulled some strings behind the scenes and had that taken care of for him. Another theory explains another issue I have. Marcus and Maria are portrayed as struggling financially. Marcus is working as a writer for a newspaper that pays a low wage, and Maria is undocumented and babysitting children for a rich family, so she's also not making a lot of money. Marcus was a world-class assassin who was paid tons of money for hits. Where did all that cash go in one year? Did he blow all the money he had in that short amount of time? I say that Marcus used the remainder of his money to get him and Maria new identities so they wouldn't have the law come after them. Why they would continue to use the same names is beyond me. What do you think?

I absolutely love the kind of shows that make you question and reflect about everything. I love to psychoanalyze every character and it’s honestly refreshing to see them because the world isn’t so black and white. I need more recommendations that talk about societal conformities and real word issues with morally grey characters. Other shows I’ve loved are Mr.Robot, Atlanta, Twin Peaks, Black Mirror, Dexter, and the Twilight Zone etc. (you see where I’m going with this? Idk what genre this is tho) Deadly Class was quickly added to the list (show and comics). If you guys have any other recommendations that would be greatly appreciated :) books too

Nothing new.

What exactly gravitated you or glued you to the series toward the end of the run?

​

While the run was occurring, I gravitated towards the sense of alienation, drug use and teenage adolescence. Themes aside, please post a panel or 2 about what you love most about Remender/Craig's series.

In my opinion Lex was one of the funniest characters in the tv show, I am kinda mad that we didn’t see him all that much, but when he got shot in the last episode, I was in pure shock cuz it was totally sudden and out of the blue if you ask me, if they was going to make another season it wouldn’t of been the same without him. Also him and Billy together was always funny

We was robbed of a second season, it got left in a big cliff hanger, chicos dad found Maria and Marcus walking out the house with chicos head and then he shot Lex, like that was so annoying it didn’t get another season

Especially with all the changes made from the comics. I wonder if reaching out to showrunners on twitter would do any good considering its been long enough

I like to think that batman (Bruce Wayne) went to kings to learn his ways, without killing somehow, I like to think Thomas Wayne (father) went there and is legacy idk. you think batman could have survived there as a adolescent?

He was orphaned at a young age and in a sweatshop abusive boys home, the. Homeless with no money. How was he able to read the comics or listen to the music he has such strong opinions about?

Long story short in my country ( Italy) the publishers became slow with Deadly Class's release despite being completed. So while i was in Sweden for this holydays i bought a big volume there which includes all the parts that has yet to be published in Italy.

Im in the final stage (and loving it) basically in the chapter that ends with Stephen and his husband getting killed (same chapter of the Las Vegas marriage). And there is something i ve forgot (maybe cause the long break or has to be explained yet).

Before the timeskip when the party in the mountains gets attacked by the cultist Marcus kills Maria's new boyfriend (i swear i cant remember his name). There was a reason other than jealousy that i forgot or its something it will be explained later? Cause right now Maria isnt angry with him about it (and i remember her being there during the kill).

I binged the show after only seeing part of it and loving it in 2019. Started reading the comic from where the show drops off. I really liked Petra and Marcus' characters. So 22 really fucked with me after Billy and Marcus. I feel super mentally fucked. Sorry for the lateness lol ik the comic is done. Gonna read everything else. It's a fucking great story.

To start off I absolutely love both the comics and the show. I love how the show separates itself from other '80s nostalgia by actually focusing on the counterculture from that era. Deadly Class seems like one of the only pieces of art that actually show members of the goth or punk scene in a respectful way and doesn't constantly make fun of them. It's rare to find other pieces of media that do that. But with that I have a question, what exactly is Marcus? I know Petra is goth and lex seems to align himself with British punk while Billy is more West Coast punk along with Saya, So I'm confused on where Marcus aligns himself in that regard. I know he listens to post punk bands like Joy division and The cure; which to some people are also considered gothwave bands. So does that mean Marcus is just goth but doesn't really lean into the aesthetics of it? Curious to know what you guys think.

What I'm mainly referring to is the realization that almost all the remaining Kings Alumni are have been killed. It's not possible they didn't know since it was mentioned on the news before Brandy was arrested and the lady that was babysitting their kids looked to be Helmut's wife and she probably would've said something. Even though it could be said that those people aren't in their lives anymore at this point, hearing about their deaths must have evoked some type of emotions in them. Especially Saya's. I get it was probably cut for the sake of time but man we were robbed of that.

All we know is that she was taken by the guild at age 8 and had a son at some point, who was also somehow killed in an incident related to the guild. Does anybody know more about her or the hierarchy of the society her and Lin's family was a part of?

The SYFY show felt too sanitized, like a late night The CW lol and the writing was allover place and don't get me started on the directing. In a perfect world James Gunn is that the helm of the series and we're all anxiously waiting for season 4, Remender didn't screw up the comic because of the shows cancellation (we all know it deep down) and this sub has tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of subs.
