Killer of Demons TPB out next week
I’ve written a couple times on the comic blog about Killer of Demons and the quality inside the 3 issue series. Although it is a high quality series, it was very hard to acquire the comics. No comic shops seemed to have it and led some to believe issue 2 never even came out. Well fear not comic readers, the trade paperback collecting the whole series is coming out next week. Don’t know the story? Check the break for a full synopsis…
Collecting the critically acclaimed mini-series from the writer of Marvel’s X-Force and the artist of the Eisner nominated Atomic Robo! Hell has invaded Earth and only one man can stop it… junior account executive Dave Sloan, aka the Killer of Demons! With an angel at his side, Dave can see the demons that have infiltrated our world… and they all have to die! But these ‘demons’ are mostly Dave’s co-workers, or people that annoy Dave in some way, leading him to believe that he’s gone totally insane. Or has he? Dave has to fight to survive and find out the truth… is he a whacked out mass murderer, or the last hope the world has against the forces of Hell?
IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
