BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at The Killer: Affairs of the State II #1. The iconic French crime saga that inspired the David Fincher film, The Killer: Affairs of the State II by the writer/artist duo Matz and Luc Jacamon, letterer AndWorld Design, and translated by Edward Gauvin, arrives in comic shops this May!
In a cabin deep in the mountains of the South of France, the Killer has set up a new base of operations. From this remote hideout, he accepts each new mission with calculated precision, never straying from the assignment and always returning to this safe haven in the immediate aftermath.
This practiced routine is suddenly disrupted when he discovers that he has some…unexpected neighbors. This unanticipated development seems to have the potential to finally alter the way the Killer sees the world, but for a man in his line of work, change isn’t just dangerous. It’s deadly.
The first issue of Affairs of the State II features main cover art by series artist Lu Jacamon, and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Tyler Boss (What’s the Furthest Place From Here) and Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness). Take a look at each of the cover designs below:
BOOM! has also debuted new fully-lettered pages from issue #1 which show of the beautiful interior artwork:
The Killer: Affairs of the State II #1 will be available in comic shops May 7, 2025. It is available for pre-order at your local comic shop. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
