Following the explosive monster success of the best reviewed creator-owned debut of the year, Only The Savage Are Left, (tied with D’Orc for top reviews across comics journalists in 2026), the immense popularity of Masterminds, and the highly anticipated August release The Smart Division, Zack Kaplan concludes a blockbuster year with Dark Horse Comics by teaming up with Marvel superstar artist Francesco Mortarino (Nyx, Expatriate X-Men, Dune Water of Kanly, Avengers), for the climactic finale of immortal Vikings and blood-soaked business with Kill All Immortals III.
After facing the consequences of mortality for the first time in their lives and surviving the challenge, the Asvald siblings must sacrifice everything or risk total destruction at the hands of impossibly powerful immortal foes! Colorist Thiago Rocha (Sister Imperator, Kill All Immortals) and Eisner-winning letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (Masterminds, The Witcher: The Bear and the Butterfly) return for more high stakes family and societal drama that’s been described as Succession meets John Wick.
Arriving in October, Kill All Immortals III features main cover art by series cover artist Oliver Barrett, with issue #1 enjoying variant covers from Eliza Ivanova (White Sky), Elena Casagrande (Sai: Dimension Rivals), and celebrated cover artist Jenny Frison (Batwoman, Sorcerer Supreme).
“Having the chance to get my hands on this fantastic series is an incredible opportunity for me! The special atmosphere created to tell this story is an incredible challenge; it allows me to push my limits and learn a new way of telling stories through images,” exclaimed Mortarino. “I’ve loved learning to draw every member of the Asvald family, and I can’t wait to draw their past versions! I hope you’ll enjoy this series; I’m putting my heart and soul into it to live up to your expectations!”
The Asvalds were once a billionaire Viking family with the secret to immortality, until the family’s only daughter, Frey Asvald, led a rebellion against their barbaric father. Now, with their family splintered and wounded, they find a daunting world of rival immortals seeking their demise at every turn. As Frey takes on her most deadly adversaries yet, she must finally decide what is most important, her freedom from war or her Viking vengeance.
The world of immortal Vikings was drenched in violence and death against just one rival, but how will the Asvalds prevail against an immortal world ready to destroy them.
“I cannot wait to bring you the finale of Kill All Immortals,” said Kaplan. “The response since we first launched this series has been nothing but incredible, and it’s been a joy to share this exciting family drama of barbaric Vikings in our modern world. And if you thought we’ve raised the stakes in Season II, you ain’t seen nothing yet. We are so lucky to be joined by Francesco Mortarino who delivers a poetic and action-packed conclusion to Frey’s story. The first two trades will be out and this conclusion is not to be missed. We will not be holding back on this one and it will be worthy of the series we’ve given you so far!”
