"BURN BABY BURN," Part Three
The second arc of the critically acclaimed, bestselling series continues! From RODNEY BARNES, the writer behind such hit shows as Marvel's Runaways and STARZ's American Gods, and Jason Shawn Alexander, the artist who redefined SPAWN, comes a modern horror tale that will leave you speechless!
The trauma-ridden city of Philly has been terrified by the horrific actions of a ruthless new monster. Now, learn the hidden origin behind the savage vampire known only as "Jupiter," and discover just how Abigail got her claws into him in the first place! But is he a mindless pawn, or does he have them right where more
As Jimmy figures out he must be looking for Abigail, she lets loose with her next attack! Read Full Review
Throughout the series thus far Killadelphia has brilliantly shined a light on the racial inequality of America generally, but this issue and Jupiter's story is a sobering punch in the gut about the harsh realities of slavery and America's history"vampires notwithstanding. Read Full Review
Overall, this is yet again a wonderful addition to the Killadelphia tale. The narrative alone is enough bang for your buck, but Alexander's artwork really make this worthwhile reading. Read Full Review
Abigail has advanced to the next stage of her plan and if it works, she will plunge the whole city into darkness. The (undead) father-son combo of James Sr. and James Jr. are tracking Abigail and her followers but they may have been led right into a trap. Abigail's most terrifying follower, Jupiter, reveals his full background story and it is both heartbreaking and terrifying. Jupiter is using Abigail's influence to enact his own plan of vengeance and righteousness. Read Full Review
I dig this title a lot as it brings something different to the traditional vampire story with its use of history and its police procedural perspective. Read Full Review
Killadelphia #9 fleshes out the background of one of its major antagonists while slowly upping the stakes for its protagonists. With this issue, Jupiter falls into the stereotype of "antagonist with a righteous cause" that the X-Men's Magneto and Castlevania's Dracula also fits. I hope to see more of him in future episodes and see how the Sangsters deal with a nest of vampires. Read Full Review
An engaging, beautifully drawn tale that answers questions the readers have been waiting for. Read Full Review
