In the wake of his father’s death, Jimmy returns to his hometown and ends up trying to solve one of his father’s unsolved cases.
Welcome to Killadelphia.Īt first glance, Killadelphia might seem like a pretty standard mystery. There’s a reason they say you can’t go home again. The city that was once the symbol of liberty and freedom has fallen prey to corruption, poverty, unemployment, brutality…and vampires. When small-town beat cop Jimmy Sangster returns to his Philadelphia roots to bury his murdered father, he stumbles into a mystery that will lead him down a path of horrors and shake his beliefs to their core. 1: Sins of the Father (written by Rodney Barnes, illustrated by Jason Shawn Alexander) In many ways, it feels old fashioned and reminiscent of film noir, but in other ways it feels startlingly modern and poignant. It’s this perfect blend of absurd-yet-scary horror and gritty, grounded, realistic drama. Killadelphia might just be the best comic I’ve read all year. Killadelphia looked really interesting because I love a good vampire story and it seemed like Barnes had a unique take on the genre – and boy did he ever.
I had been a fan of Barnes’ work on the second season of American Gods so I was eager to take a dive into some of his other work. I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading Killadelphia, Rodney Barnes and Jason Shawn Alexander’s new comic.
