3	''Death Sentence'' is a comic-book series by Monty Nero and Mike Dowling.
4
5	In the very near future, people across North America and Europe are contracting the G+ Virus, a sexually-transmitted disease that grants those who have it potentially incredible powers... but also death after six months. What do you do with just six months? This is the question that faces Verity, a frustrated graphic artist, Danny "Weasel" Waissell, a burned-out rock star, and David "Monty" Montgomery, an egomaniacal comedian.
6
7	Not to be confused with the Brian Garfield novel or the [[Film/DeathSentence film loosely based on it]].
8
9	!!This series contains examples of:
10
11	* ActionBomb: Verity is able to explode quite violently.
12	* AteHisGun: [[spoiler:Monty forces seventy British soldiers to put their own guns in their mouths and pull the trigger.]]
13	* BigBad: David "Monty" Montgomery, a depraved, self-absorbed comedian who gains the power to force almost anyone to do almost anything.
14	* CampStraight: Weasel's look was deliberately designed to be slightly effeminate, though there is absolutely no signs that he's anything other than straight.
15	* CompellingVoice: Monty's primary ability is to compel other people to do his bidding.
16	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Monty was... erm, ''very'' close to his mother. [[spoiler:Which may explain why he decides to rape the Queen Mother]].
17	* ExcrementStatement: In the second issue, Monty is questioned by the police for raping a nun. After openly boasting about it and showing them incriminating pictures, he uses his powers to make them forget all about it, then pisses in a teapot and makes them drink it.
18	* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Both Monty and Weasel seem to enjoy watching their respective groupies have sex with each other.
19	* IBangedYourMom: In the fourth issue, Monty faces down the army, and tells the commanding officer to get on with it, because he's penciled in the guy's mother for eleven.
20	* {{Intangibility}}: Weasel's powers initially manifest as the ability to phase through solid matter.
21	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Monty and Weasel seem to be stand-ins for Creator/RussellBrand and [[Music/TheLibertines Pete Doherty]], respectively. Averted with [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/DavidCameron and the British Royal Family.]]
22	* PowerPerversionPotential: Monty has the ability to make other people do whatever he wants. Naturally, he uses it to satisfy his incredibly long list of sexual fantasies.
23	* SuperpowerLottery: Most G+ victims end up with slightly-superhuman abilities, but Monty ends up with a CompellingVoice and {{Telekinesis}}, Weasel is able to [[IntangibleMan phase through solid matter]], and Verity is a [[ActionBomb living bomb]] with {{Invisibility}} as a secondary power.
24	* YourHeadASplode: One of Monty's favorite tricks is to use his telekinetic powers to blow people's head apart.
