Buy it digitally from Dark Horse Comics here!


The hit sitcom Husbands tells the story of famous gay newlyweds Brady and Cheeks, who sparked a media firestorm when they woke up legally wed after a drunken Vegas weekend. But undoing their "I Dos" with a quickie divorce would only undermine the hard-fought battle for equality, so they decide to give this marriage thing a go. After all, they were doing okay when they were dating . . .

Now, a mystical wedding gift launches the couple on a series of adventures— a tongue-in-cheek journey through iconic genre realms — filled with obstacles that threaten to tear them apart.

Written by Husbands creators Jane Espenson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Brad Bell, this comic-book continuation of the sitcom phenom sends Brady and Cheeks into a superhero showdown, a fairytale fantasy, a Holmesian mystery, an epic galactic battle, a madcap high school romp, and a saucy secret-spy thrill ride.
