'Deadly Class': Violence abounds in this teen high school drama, but here's why you'll never see a gun used at King's Dominion

Creator Rick Remender was a victim of violence growing up. So, his art was always a disconnection from reality. But now, gun violence is a reality, so it's no more a disconnection.

When Syfy's 'Deadly Class' premiered January 16, non-comic book readers were oblivious to the action-packed thrills the episode had in store. Those who switched on to the series expecting another teen drama, or to see the sweet 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' alum, Lana Condor, sure changed their minds after witnessing violent death in the pilot itself and seeing the 21-year-old actress in arm tattoos wielding a katana. Also, goodbye homeless murderer - Rory!

The series adapted from the comic book of the same name follows the story of Marcus Lopez Arguello (Benjamin Wadsworth), a homeless orphan who gets enrolled into a school of assassins called King's Dominion.
