Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios is pleased to announce
the May debut of Oh, Killstrike, the new tongue-in-cheek miniseries created and
written by Say Anything frontman Max Bemis (Polarity, Evil Empire). Bemis teams
up with artist Logan Faerber for a personal story that combines his deep love
of ’90s superhero comics and the anxieties that come with being a new dad in a
coming-of-age, twisted buddy comedy.
“When you combine Max’s love letter to ’90s comics with the
same deeply personal storytelling that we saw with Polarity, Oh, Killstrike is
what you get,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “This is a story
that’s hilarious, heartwarming, and will likely put a smile on the face of
anybody who loves comics. Logan’s artwork is spectacular—there’s nobody better
to bring Killstrike to life. We’re so proud of this series; I genuinely can’t
wait for readers to get this into their hands!”
Jared, a new father, fears parenthood. An old comics fan, he
turns to them for comfort. But when he unwittingly lets loose his favorite
character, Killstrike—a single-minded, vengeance-loving antihero—onto the
world, Jared must find a way to send him back before he harms all the people he
loves the most. But before that happens, Killstrike leads Jared on a quest of
self-discovery to make him realize the kid who loved this character is not the
man he has become.
Oh, Killstrike #1 arrives in comic shops on May 20th with a
main cover by series artist Logan Faerber for the price of $3.99. Also available in a limited quantity are a 10 Years
incentive cover by Frazer Irving (Annihilator, Uncanny X-Men) and a retailer
incentive cover by Kris Anka (Uncanny X-Men).
