Oni Press will release the first issue in the Destination Kill limited series in May. Today, The Beat has an exclusive, extended first look at the comic, which is written, illustrated, and lettered by Joe Palmer.
Here’s the synopsis:
The year is 2125, and the all-powerful corporation Overcon uses its robot workers to pour our drinks and dispense our meds, all while rebuilding London’s Central City into a hyper-modern megalopolis bolted together in its own image. But as Overcon prepares to celebrate the first year of its Paradise Loop—a superfast transatlantic train that connects the Central City to New York in under 60 minutes—an unwieldy army of displaced human workers floods the streets with weapons, plotting an attack at the anniversary gala.
Enter: Gina Serene, a stressed-out, pill-popping police detective in desperate need of a vacation and her ex-partner turned P.I., Lance Wingman—who are now the only thing standing between Overcon’s skyscraper-sized fist and the worker uprising that threatens to bring Britain’s capital crashing down around them.
Below, check out an extended preview from issue #1, as well as cover art by Palmer, Riley Rossmo, Ronald Wimberly, Tango, and Liana Kangas.
Destination Kill #1 will be available digitally and at your local comic shop on May 13.
