A new crime series from three-time Eisner nominee Kyle Starks (Peacemaker Tries Hard, Where Monsters Lie) for fans of true crime and murder fiction.
Serial Killer Mark Christopher Ewing has been arrested and a SWAT team trap sprung for Daniel Dodson. Is this the end for our murderous protagonists? Does the dark competition between the two to break the serial killer state kill record end here? Come find out in the second to last issue of Those Not Afraid by Kyle Starks and Patrick Piazzalunga.
Going into issue three, this series was on hot roll and steam rolling through a murder competition. However, issue three slows it down a bit and really builds up the human story. Kyle Starks does a fantastic job of showing us the love, respect, and friendship that our killers are building. Well at the same time, showing the real-world consequences of their double lives. Taking the foot off the gas in this issue was genius and much needed. Read Full Review
Piazzalunga crafts some great art throughout the issue and I love the use of shadow to define the emotion of a scene. Read Full Review
