Writer David M. Booher and artist Claudia Balboni, with colorist Harry Saxon, are bringing the new Dark Horse mini-series Killer Queens to comic stores August 2021. The creative team is all LGBTQ and focuses on talks about love, xenophobia, and fascist dictatorships, within a queer sci-fi epic.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Meet Max and Alex, two gay reformed intergalactic assassins-for-hire on the run. Their former boss—a fluffy monkey with a jetpack—is hot on their tail to take back his stolen ship. Even reformed assassins have to eat, so they take a mission from Alex’s old flame: your standard no-kill, casualty-free kidnapping recovery from a nearby moon. Only complication? Half the moon is ruled by a fascist dictator hostile to foreigners. They’re the Killer Queens, so what could possibly go wrong?
Killer Queens #1 comes to stores August 18, 2021.
