The year is 44 B.C. Julius Caesar has conquered Transylvania, and vampyres are Rome's new slave class. But when rich mortals start turning up dead with fang marks on their necks, Valens, a vampyre slave-turned-Roman soldier, plunges into the blood-soaked underworld of Rome to capture the Pluto's Kiss Killer.

The Ex-Mutants was originally planned as a spoof upon Marvel’s countless “X-” titles (X-Force, X-Men, X-Factor, X-cetera…). With this second, color series, the team finds itself rising above parody to become a legitimate favorite. The Ex-Mutants are comprised of Swordsman Dillon, strong-man Ackroyd, beauties Shannon, Tanya, and Piper, and diminutive bowman Bud. Formerly, these were genetically designed mutants, modeled after people who worked on the project that created them. But these mutants live without super-powers, relying on their wits and athletic abilities instead.

Jacob and Miller are the sons of the Matriarch, the world's greatest super-villainess. The Matriarch is now dead at the hands of a super-hero, and the boys want answers--and revenge.

As the brothers go to class to learn the tricks of the bad-guy-trade, they begin to unravel the secrets surrounding their mother's death, finding that her legacy may have destined them to become more than just villains…
