Summary

After working the same convention circuit for decades, a ragtag group of flabby action heroes, aging sex symbols, and sci-fi bit players become close friends as they watch their lines get shorter and their autographs get cheaper. That is, until they hire a cocky new booking agent who offers them their only chance at a comfortable retirement -- robbing one of the largest cons in the country!

Written by comics veteran Jimmy Palmiotti (Harley Quinn) and longtime comics journalist turned writer Matt Brady (Buck Rogers), and illustrated by the incredible Dominike "Domo" Stanton (Deadpool), The Big Con Job is a unique heist story that puts the "con" back in comic conventions.
