Jan 01, 2020But if the gripping story isn't enough to pull you into this comic, then do it for the art. Will someone please think about the art?! Alexander's art is dark. It's detailed. It's intriguing. It's horrific. I am not a horror person and terrifying scenes of bloodshed do not do it for me. But I cannot deny beautiful art when I see it. And this book forces me into terror with the lure of gorgeous and genius depictions. I've been aloof with a lot of Image these past couple years but if this creative team is any indication, I might have to save a review spot for them every time. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Antonio Brown
Jan 05, 2020A lovely second serving of blood, with a great twist that will keep you on your toes for the third installment. What happens when the brooding Tevin crosses paths with the Sangsters investigation? Is John Adams, a benevolent vampire king sacrificing the few to save the many, or is he an agent of chaos, biding his time in Killadelphia? Definitely building excitement for the next installment.

Comics: The Gathering - Jay Hill
Jan 01, 2020This issue picks up where the last issue left and doesn’t look back. It wastes no time when establishing the threat, new characters and their motives, and showing us how the characters we’ve already been introduced to are dealing with this crazy circumstance. The writing is as top-notch as the art. This series is definitely something special and distinct. I trust the people behind it to keep going with full force. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Mateo Guerrero
Jan 03, 2020Along with Jason Shawn Alexander's superb art, Barns emerging narrative promises a twisted journey through Philadelphia's hidden heart. It's not clear just how seriously Killadelphia wants readers to take its history fueled conspiracy. With the threat of President John Adams looming large, it sure looks like Killadelphia will be answering that question very soon. Read Full Review

Horror DNA - James Ferguson
Jan 07, 2020Killadelphia presents an interesting and chilling tale, mixing historical fiction with horror in a more serious manner than we're used to. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter this is not. Instead, it's a direct approach, digging into history, violence, and vampires. Read Full Review

It seems like a lot of people like this book. I wanted to check it out since I write a vampire comic myself. There's no real substance to this story, however. I guess it's hard to tell in a single issue since this book has now been going on for 2 years, but at this early stage, you have the one guy lose his grandmother, which means he's a newbie. The girl who trolls looking for bad people to bring back to the group to get eaten, the vampire that hunts other vampires in the morgue, and former President Adams who is the original vampire (this is weird to me. Why choose Adams of all historical people?) There are no motivations for any of them.
