Jill and the Killers #1 First Look Reveals the Double-Sized and Double-Dangerous Debut Issue
Oni Press has shared a sneak peek into the highly anticipated double-sized Jill and the Killers #1, a razor-sharp teenage thriller created by rising stars Olivia Cuartero-Briggs (Mary Shelly Monster Hunter) and Roberta Ingranata (Witchblade, Doctor Who). Scheduled to hit comic shops this month, this gripping debut unravels a compelling story full of twists and turns that is sure to captivate readers.
As the story unfolds, we follow teenager Jill Estrada as she returns to school amidst the unsolved disappearance of her mother, yearning for a return to normalcy. However, her friends find themselves consumed by the allure of Box Killers, a true-crime subscription game that crafts “unsolved cases” tailored to each player’s life.
The only catch? Jill’s game appears all too real, and as her clues intertwine with a series of vanishing incidents in her town, she and her friends embark on a perilous quest to unearth the truth behind these enigmatic crimes before one of them meets a similar fate.
