Gateway to Darkness #1 delivers a bold, Gotham-inspired reimagining of the Class Comics Universe. This first chapter thrusts the chronically underappreciated Devilhound into the spotlight, spinning a fresh, gritty new story packed with passion, violence, and moral gray areas.

In the shadowed streets of Gateway City on Earth Q-8595, the neon lights flicker over a metropolis drowning in crime. Once a thriving beacon, the city is now a brutal battleground where two ruthless crime lords fight for absolute dominion.

The balance of power has finally shifted. The notorious kingpin known only as the Frenchman has captured his greatest rival — the conflicted Jon Dazy. On the very eve of total victory, his triumph is suddenly threatened by the return of a dangerous and unpredictable force.

Enter Blaine Howard — the vicious Devilhound. Locked away in Fraserview Psychiatric Hospital, this obsessed anti-hero will stop at nothing to rescue Jon Dazy, the man he loves from certain death. But standing in his way is the one person who might be able to save Blaine from himself: the handsome and quick-witted Pink Rabbit.

Will Devilhound’s dark obsession doom them all… or will the Pink Rabbit pull him back from the brink before it’s too late? Step into the darkness. The gateway is open.

Written and illustrated by Patrick Fillion! As always with Fillion’s work, the pages are filled with breathtakingly handsome, powerfully muscled studs radiating raw sensuality — dripping with heat, desire, and unapologetic raunch that fans crave.

This Deluxe Edition of Gateway to Darkness #1 also includes all-new “Class Universe” bios for Devilhound and the Pink Rabbit, a special look at the raw line art and full-color silent edition, plus both the intended “Hairy” version and the special “Shaved” variant.
