BOOM! Studios continues its hit series The Killer with the announcement of The Killer: Affairs of the State II.
Matz and Luc Jacamon’s beloved Eisner-Nominated series The Killer returns in May for an all-new storyline, and I’m super hyped. The new comic, published by BOOM! Studios, is titled Affairs of the State II.
The Killer is one of the finest comics on BOOM! Studios’ illustrious roster. The comic even inspired David Fincher’s recent Netflix movie of the same name, starring Michael Fassbender. Check out the official synopsis for the new story arc:
In a cabin deep in the mountains of the South of France, the Killer has set up a new base of operations. From this remote hideout, he accepts each new mission with calculated precision, never straying from the assignment and always returning to this safe haven in the immediate aftermath.
This practiced routine is suddenly disrupted when he discovers that he has some…unexpected neighbors. This unanticipated development seems to have the potential to finally alter the way the Killer sees the world, but for a man in his line of work, change isn’t just dangerous. It’s deadly.
