The Eisner Award nominated Killadelphia from writer Rodney Barnes (American Gods, HBO’s Winning Time, and the record-breaking new Star Wars: The Mandalorian comic book series) and collaborator Jason Shawn Alexander, the artist who redefined Todd McFarlane’s legendary Spawn for a whole new generation, shocked fans with a surprise appearance from the same character on April 26.
The first printing of this historic issue was sold out almost instantly by fans and collectors. Image Comics has announced that the second printing of this issue will be on sale starting May 31. You can preorder it now.
Rodney Barnes says “There’s so much to say about Killadelphia issue 30. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to our fans for helping us achieve thirty issues. Image comics is to be commended for their support throughout our journey. How honored I am to work with jason and our team, and how amazed I am that the great Todd McFarlane trusted us with his legendary creation, Spawn!”
The Killadelphia series follows a small-town beat cop who returns home to bury his murdered father, revered Philadelphia detective James Sangster Sr. What he doesn’t anticipate is digging up a mystery that will lead him down a path of horrors and shake his beliefs to their core. The city that was once the symbol of liberty and freedom has fallen prey to corruption, poverty, unemployment, brutality… and vampires. Now, it’s up to Jimmy and an unexpected companion to stop long-thought-dead president of the United States John Adams from building an undead army and staging a bloody new American revolution.
The line between good and bad has been blurred to the point of no recognition in this latest arc. Philadelphia is ravaged by the war between Heaven and Hell, and our heroes are DEAD…But from the ashes of despair comes the spark of hope that will set up a bold new direction for this series…and things will never be the same. The Eisner Award-nominated, sold-out horror series is at the end of its arc and has even more shocking surprise! All begins here!
