KANSAS CITY, MO 6/15/2023 - Renowned freelance cartoonist and illustrator Mike Macropoulos has teamed up with Mesa-based Artist/Writer Jim Hanna to bring forth an electrifying new comic book series, Murder. Death. Kill. Combining their immense talents and passion for the medium, this dynamic duo is set to deliver an unforgettable sci-fi revenge thriller exclusively to Kickstarter. The Kickstarter campaign for the comic will run until July 14.

With notable accomplishments like winning a Xeric Award in the 1990s and contributing to renowned publishers such as Dark Horse, Caliber, Image, SLG Publishing, and Marvel Digital, Mike's creative talent has left a lasting impression on readers worldwide.
Jim Hanna, hailing from Mesa, Arizona, has established himself as a versatile and skilled artist/writer. With an impressive portfolio that includes collaborations with Arcana Studio (PHILLY, STAR POWER), Upper Deck, Red 5 Comics, IDW, Cryptozoic Entertainment, Contraband Comics (JACK RABBIT, PUGLY), Marvel/The Hero Initiative, and his own creator-owned title KILL COUNT, Jim has garnered acclaim for his captivating storytelling and exceptional artwork.

Murder. Death. Kill. marks Mike Macropoulos' highly anticipated return to the comic scene, showcasing his passion and enthusiasm for the medium. When asked about the project, Mike shared his excitement, stating, "Murder. Death. Kill. represents the joy and honesty of comics to me. An opportunity to work with a talented friend and create the type of book that couldn’t exist from anyone else. It isn’t a collection of storyboards, it isn’t a failed (or hopeful) Netflix pitch. Pure comics made by people who share a love for the medium and its history and just want to contribute."
Written by the seasoned comic book professional, Jim Hanna, Murder. Death. Kill. follows the story of a heroic protagonist who faces the ultimate betrayal from her own ninja clan. Left for dead, she seeks solace and support from her family, who rebuild and transform her into a cybernetic killing machine. Fueled by a burning desire for revenge, she embarks on a relentless mission, leaving no obstacle unturned.
Adding to the allure of this exciting project, Murder. Death. Kill. features a gorgeous variant cover by Alexis Ziritt, known for his remarkable contributions to the comic book industry. The synergy between the creative minds involved promises an unforgettable reading experience for fans of the medium. Other variant artists include Ryan Cody, Ryan Quackenbush, and others to be announced if certain goals are met during the campaign.
