Dark Horse Comics Announces Second Round of Murders in "Lady Killer 2"

Joëlle Jones Continues Eisner Award Nominated Series “Lady Killer” In August!

WHERE 1960S POP MEETS THE DARK UNDERBELLY OF SUBURBIA

MILWAUKIE, OR— After its original announcement at San Diego Comic-Con 2015, Dark Horse Comics is happy to confirm the release of Lady Killer 2, the long-anticipated sequel to Joëlle Jones’s best-selling series Lady Killer.

The killer housewife is back! The Schuller family has moved to Cocoa Beach, Florida, where life carries on as usual. Josie continues to juggle Tupperware parties, her kids, and a few human heads. However, when someone from her past tails her on a hit, she may be in for more than she bargained for.

Lady Killer 2 features Jones resuming her role as writer, artist, and cover illustrator, with colors by Dark Horse veteran Michelle Madsen. And to celebrate Dark Horse Comics’ thirtieth anniversary, artists Matteo Scalera and Moreno Dinisio are producing a special variant cover for issue #1.

The Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards 2016 recently nominated Lady Killer for Best Limited Series and Joëlle Jones for Best Penciller/Inker and Best Cover Artist.

Lady Killer 2 #1 (of 5) is in stores August 3, 2016.

Praise for Lady Killer:

“Lady Killer is worth its weight in gold for the art alone, but the enigmatic Josie Schuller is the real appeal.”—Newsarama

“A level of violence that can only be described as Mad Men’s Betty Draper meets Dexter.”—Comic Book Resources
