A warrior in ruins. A woman adrift. Four centuries apart, two damaged lives are drawn together at the point of a broken sword. Hunted by assassins and cursed by fate, they must reweave the threads of destiny to destroy a Lord of the Unburied Dead. Their currency is blood: for one to heal, the other must kill.
Kindness of Killers was a lot of fun, swapping between the two art styles for the two different time periods. Stretched a few of my creative muscles. It’s been a while since I drew an ultraviolent, horror comic and it was a lot of fun to dip back into these waters. My aim is to have a more scratchy, messy style with Takakage (the gnarly looking Samurai) and cleaner, solid vibe for Jack (the sweary chick in the bowling shirt). As well as helping separate the two timelines, it gives a chance to play with all the comic book techniques.
It was also a lot fun being part of a team again, bouncing ideas off one another, playing off and expanding concepts. I do like working on my own, but there is nothing quite liking being part of a group of creative people. I hope you dig this book as much I as did drawing it. Issue 2 has been an even better romp.
