Featuring the show-stopping talents of Spawn series artist JASON SHAWN ALEXANDER, and the writer behind such hit shows as Wu-Tang: An American Saga, Marvel’s Runaways, and Starz’s American Gods–RODNEY BARNES.<\/p>\n

When a small town beat cop comes home to bury his murdered father-the revered Philadelphia detective James Sangster Sr.-he begins to unravel a mystery that leads him down a path of horrors and shakes his beliefs to their core.<\/p>\n

The city that was once the symbol of liberty and freedom has fallen prey to corruption, poverty, unemployment, brutality…
\n…and vampires.<\/p>\n

But the mystery goes even further when Jimmy’s investigation leads him to uncover the source of the outbreak is long-thought dead President of the United States John Adams–a man secretly biding his time as he builds an undead army to start a new and bloodier American revolution.<\/p>\n

There’s a reason they coin a phrase, \u201cyou can’t go home.\u201d Welcome to Killadelphia.<\/p>\n

Collects KILLADELPHIA #1-6<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Killadelphia<\/strong><\/em> is a book you should be reading if you like intelligently written and beautifully drawn horror comics.<\/p>\n

Rodney Barnes’ idea of a modern day vampire uprising in Philadelphia led by a centuries old founding father is so audacious that we’re lucky Barnes took his story past the idea stage.   Killadelphia<\/em> is a very cool, very creepy tale that paints a big picture universe introduced to us through believable characters who find themselves in an unbelievable situation.<\/p>\n

Modern day vampires?  Yeah, right.  Read Killadelphia<\/em> and you’re response will become: Modern day vampires?  Yeah!  Right!<\/p>\n

Jason Shawn Alexander provides realistic art for Killadelphia<\/em> which supports the story;  you believe what you’re seeing.  The characters look like real people (some of whom are vampires).  Alexander has drawn scenes that will creep you out and perhaps inspire nightmares… which is exactly what great horror fiction should do.  I hope that Barnes and Alexander stay together as long as Killadelphia<\/em> tales are told.<\/p>\n

Luis NCT’s colors provide nuance and emphasis that enhance each scene and his contribution to the success of Killadelphia<\/em> shouldn’t be overlooked.<\/p>\n

I thought that Killadelphia<\/em> would be a good comic.  I underestimated it.  Killadelphia<\/em> is an exceptional comic and one all horror fans should try.<\/p>\n
