Twisted Tales of the Ritalin Club 3: The Funeral

* Standard
* Deluxe

**Twisted Tales of the Ritalin Club 3: The Funeral** is the third comic book from YUNGBLUD, part of the *Twisted Tales of the Ritalin Club* series. The comic was announced 17 June 2022. In the URL link on the YUNGBLUD Comic site, the third comic book is promoted as 'the-end?', leaving it open ended for a possible fourth installment. It is set for release on 31 October 2022. With the third installment, there are five editions: The standard, the standard box set, the deluxe, the deluxe bundle, and the standard bundle. Z2 Comics and YUNGBLUD have teamed up for the 3rd edition to YUNGBLUD's graphic novel series, 'Twisted Tales of the Ritalin Club' & 'Weird Times at Quarry Banks University.' with 'The Funeral'. When Joshua Frankel from Z2 Comics spoke to NME, he said: *"YUNGBLUD continues to be one of the most singular, confrontational voices in the pop culture landscape. As soon as we launched Twisted Tales, I knew that his story couldn't be contained in one volume. This is a glorious middle finger of genre fiction. We'll continue to publish them as long as there's a story to tell."*

## Synopsis

Two years after saving the world from the Mangaverse, Yungblud died. No-one knows how, only that it was enough to cause The Ritalin Club to disband and stop talking to each other. But as their old foe, The Spreading Darkness, has returned, more powerful than ever, it falls to Zombie Joshua to get the band back together.

**Every** member. Living or dead.

This new chapter builds off the gleefully irreverent, bitingly profane adventures of Yungblud and his super-powered coterie—the titular Ritalin Club—of Harmony, Scout, Zombie Joshua, Em, and Encore. After breaking free from the repressive constraints of Blackheart’s High School and navigating the horrors of Quarry Bank University, Yungblud will face his greatest foe: mortality.
