Creator Zack Kaplan expressed his enthusiasm, stating:
“Kill All Immortals is my tenth creator-owned series to date, and I am thrilled to return to Dark Horse Comics, a publisher that is renowned for supernatural action comics, from Hellboy to Black Hammer. I am excited to be joining forces with this incredible team of immortal and ruthless comic warriors: Fico Ossio, Jordie Bellaire, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, Oliver Barrett, Tom Muller, and the entire Dark Horse family, all ready to breathe life into this series.”
Set a thousand years in the past, Viking explorer Erik the Red and his four adult children stumble upon a mysterious source of immortality. Fast forward to our modern world, where they have become an enigmatic billionaire family wielding immense power through their banking empire. However, when Erik’s lone daughter, Frey Asvald, seeks to break free from her family’s influence, she must unveil their supernatural secrets and confront her well-trained siblings in a deadly and epic struggle for dominance.
Kaplan elaborated on the premise, saying:
“Kill All Immortals combines action-packed, character-driven family drama with a supernatural/sci-fi adventure inspired by Viking lore and personas. We take these immortal Vikings and bring them into the luxurious, contemporary world of globalist billionaires and generational wealth. In our own reality, we acknowledge that a select few secretive and affluent individuals control and own almost everything—an immortal establishment of dominance driven by violence. What will it take to break this endless cycle?
We are about to find out because one of their own is shaking things up. Frey Asvald is fearless, heartfelt, and leaps off the page—if you enjoy action heroines like Erika Slaughter, you will love Frey Asvald! Fico and Jordie truly bring these pages to life, and we can’t wait for you all to immerse yourselves in the world of Kill All Immortals!”
The series will kick off with a 26-page first issue that is packed with breathtaking fight sequences in this violent story of Vikings. Kill All Immortals #1 arrives at your favorite local comic shops on February 21, 2024.
