At the end of the world all we have is each other.
Welcome to the world of Godkiller:
6 volumes of comics (and counting),
an animated series,
novellas and audio books…
Take the plunge into our twisted mindscape and
get it all here.
We promise, you’ve never experienced anything like this before…
“Fast, brutal,
and more than
a little sexy.”
“One of the most unique and energetic series to hit the stands in quite some time.
Wieszczyk’s art is something special, a mixture of cartooning and real-world photos. It has an animated feel, like static images from a bloody and graphic adult cartoon. There’s lots to love. It’s fast, brutal, and more than a little sexy. So sexy that we had to slightly censor some of the pages just so we could show them to you.
Pizzolo writes the issue with grace and precision. It moves fast, but allows you to pick up what information you need along the way.
On top of all that, it’s lots of fun, assuming your idea of fun is the visual of somebody literally getting a bomb ripped out of their stomach. It’s not for the faint of heart, in other words.”
“Stellar.
Enchanting.
Wonderfully bizarre. Wickedly delectable.”
Kirkus Reviews Starred Review
BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR LIST
“In Pizzolo’s stellar graphic novel, an orphan boy braves a desolate, post-apocalyptic land in search of a heart for his sister.
There’s a lot going on in Pizzolo’s wonderfully bizarre story, but its most distinctive feature is a barren, nearly dead world.
The outside world is filled with decrepit, abandoned buildings, and even characters’ bodies are in disrepair, adorned in lacerations and stitches. The people, too, are lost souls: Tommy defies the reputedly civilized Republic in Silver City and swears an oath to the Burnt, an order he’s only read about in comic books (he took a hot iron to the face, the corresponding bandage serving as a constant reminder of his want for independence).
The decidedly adult novel features a good amount of sex and violence, though never in a typical fashion.
Wieszczyk and Templesmith’s artwork is enchanting and a true visual companion to Pizzolo’s story. Characters are etched in chaotic scratches as if carved in stone, and pages are saturated in a rusty hue, like the soot and dirt corroding the atmosphere.
Deftly unorthodox and wickedly delectable; not so much a story as an experience.”
“A horrific yarn of apocalypse, quantum physics, culture jamming and conspiracy theory.”
“WORLD’S MOST WIRED COMICS CREATOR: MATTEO PIZZOLO
Evil Genius Plots To Blow Up The Comic Book Universe:
Who knew we had to kill comics in order to save them? Matteo Pizzolo, that’s who… a writer, publisher and filmmaker who has been busy engineering the transmedia spine that will take comics into the future.
Pizzolo’s radical plan for rewiring the comics industry comes from years of experience doing just that. His disturbing indie sci-fi dystopia Godkiller is a horrific yarn of apocalypse, quantum physics, culture jamming and conspiracy theory.”
“Honestly, I loved it.”
“This is the comic book equivalent of death metal, grunge and punk all wrapped up in a bow that says f you to the socially conditioned norm.”
- Alice W. Castle, Multiversity
“Imaginative, audacious, uninhibited.”
“If Saga toiled in the underbelly of a dystopian society full of grime and subjective morality, there you'd find Godkiller. A potent mix of Blade Runner, Heavy Metal, and Akira.”
- Hank Rea, Lotusland
“I was truly moved.”
“It's a dizzying read that will burrow into the core of your being. It pushed me further than I've ever been pushed and it establishes a new level of dialogue in the medium. In short, it's mandatory reading for anyone who loves comics. 5 out of 5 Skulls.”
- Zac Thompson, Bloody Disgusting
“Black Mask’s most ordered
comic book yet.”
“Godkiller seems to show no sign of slowing down, almost as if it were somewhat divinely inspired.”
- Rich Johnston, Bleeding Cool
“Twisted and insane.”
“Bold, visceral storytelling unconcerned with being pinned down in one genre or category.”
-Matthew Jackson, Syfy Wire
“Gorgeous.”
“The Godkiller series by writer Matteo Pizzolo and artist Anna Muckcracker is set to become the publisher’s longest running series with the
Autumn 2021 release of Spiderland.”
- Deanna Destito, Comics Beat
