Dynamite Entertainment has announced the September debuts of a new creator-owned title, Ex-Con, a gritty crime drama written by Duane Swierczynski (Deadpool, Judge Dredd) and the highly-anticipated Dawn vs. Vampirella crossover that will be both written and drawn by Dawn creator Joseph Michael Linsner. 
 
Keith Burns will provide the art for Swierczynski’s Ex-Con, a period noir that takes place in L.A. in the 1980s and follows the criminal exploits of Cody Pomeray, a con man with a special ability to read the thoughts of his marks.  But once Cody is jailed he is forced to seek the protection of a local crime boss, forming bonds of dependence that quickly ensnare him in a much bigger and more nefarious scheme.
 
Individual issues of Ex-Con will be priced at $2.99 to give fans the chance to affordably sample the series.  Fan favorite artist Tim Bradstreet will provide covers for the new pulp-drenched crime comic.
