Set within the futuristic but virtually utterly damaged metropolis of Colonia, KILL MORE reveals the astonishingly distinctive killers who stalk its deserted streets and reads like a who’s who of supervillains from a newly imagined universe: Lady Facesmasher, The Sufferer, Talking Head, and The Obituary Machine, to call simply a few. When Aaron Aira, one of many metropolis’s final murder cops standing, decides to remain the course and sort out the violent surge head-on, he finds an unlikely companion in Mwanawa Parker, a beleaguered lacking individuals detective who’s determined to present the households on her open instances listing some measure of peace. Together, they’ve to attach dots alone and save lives utilizing solely their wits and willpower.

“I wrote Kill More because it’s the comic I most wanted to read, combining my love of police procedurals, theatrical dialogue, layered plotting . . . and unhinged mayhem,” Wilson stated. “Kill More is eight years in the making! It starts wild and gets wilder. The intensity is propulsive, like a rocket, as new killers continue to pop up, create chaos, and elude the two detectives with the Sisyphean task of finding them all. The first issue is just the briefest hint at the insanity to come—and the thing about Kill More is that you can reread and pick up on things that can only be found on a second read, or a third, or a fourth.”

The collection gives a distinctive idea with its artwork: “portrait” covers by artist Fuchs showcasing every of the killers. Readers can also get pleasure from an ad-free cover-to-cover story and a “painstakingly created in-universe backmatter revealing tantalizing hints about Colonia, its media and institutions, and the fate of humanity that led to it. The deep world-building is aided by Fuchs’ immersive, highly detailed, cinematic artwork.”

Wilson added, “What Max is doing on art should make every comics fan sit up and take notice. From everyday scenes of a city in decay, to a half-empty police precinct, to procedural inspections of murder victims, to face-melting violence—Max can do it all.”

“Readers of Kill More should lock your doors, secure your windows, and shelter in place,” Fuchs stated. “I know what you think: You can handle this. You’ve read a book about a serial killer before, right? But Kill More isn’t about a serial killer—it’s about a never-ending parade of serial killers, where the floats are made of bones, decorated with entrails, and held together with partially crusted gore slurry. But don’t worry—there are still nearly half a dozen police detectives left in the world of Kill More, and they may actually solve one or two cases.”

“Kill More is like a novel in the sense that it’s a huge story with a ton of characters and plots and subplots. Seeds are planted in issue #1 that don’t sprout until issue #10. There are things that happen in the first five issues that take on a whole new light when you reread after finishing all ten issues,” Wilson advised The Beat. “This is a book meant to be read and reread and dissected and analyzed, full of easter eggs and hidden things—none of which are critical to enjoying it if you only read it once—but it’s designed to reveal new things with every read.”

Fuchs acknowledged, “Kill More crosses the bleakness of urban decay with the most colorful group of psychopaths you’ve ever seen. I hope readers are ready for bloodlust. Horror is seeping through the edges of this book, and every page turn threatens an arterial spatter.”

Kill More #1 hits comedian outlets on September 13, and new points might be launched month-to-month. Ahead of the debut, The Beat acquired an unique preview of some inside pages. Check them out under!
