SERIES PREMIEREThe lives of a struggling but madly ambitious Iranian playwright (Hafez Bashee) and an Arab serpent-king from 611 A.D (Zahhak)—once given the power to halt death in its tracks—become reticulated around a non-zero-sum game. 300 and BiRDMAN clash when Zahhak makes his pitch: toss out the unpromising conclusion penned for him in the 7th century.

NEW STORY ARC
“A PHANTASMIK APOCALYPTO BEGINS” — The Crown Eats Men.
Hafez is steeped in a cunning poison. Son of Reza, he’s under the sway of Zahhak, the serpent-shouldered king of Persia.
