Killer Queens 2: Kings, Not Wings Brings the Deadliest Queens in Space Back to Dark Horse

Dark Horse Comics has announced Killer Queens 2: Kings, Not Wings. The epic return of the deadliest queens in space was announced on the heels of the comic series Eisner Award Nomination. The series was also nominated for a GLAAD award which makes it no surprise that the publisher would bring the galaxy’s sassiest assassins back for another miniseries. The series is penned by David M. Booher with art by Bradley Clayton, colors by Harry Saxon, letters by Lucas Gattoni, and cover art by Chris Ables.

Dark Horse’s description of Killer Queens 2 reads: 

During a day of questionable choices at Space Pride, Max and Alex bump into their old boss. The grumpy little simian tries to dragoon them into chasing down a runaway heir to the throne of Sarelia, an alien planet ruled by a brutal patriarchy. Little does he know that Alex and this heir have some, ahem, history. 

As Alex and Max race to save the runaway heir from a galaxy-wide bounty hunt, they’ll dredge up Alex’s past and confront her planet’s misogynist present. If that means burning the patriarchy to the ground, well, get out the torches.

The series amplifies space adventures with a well-rounded cast of characters and a universe full of excitement for readers. The blend of 1950s sci-fi and what feels like a buddy cop film meets the A-Team is embellished in support of LGBTQ, both in its story and the creative team.

Booher is often referenced as a rising star but let me tell you, as someone who has followed their work since releasing IDW’s Canto, Booher has arrived and although they have many ceilings to continue to break, they are a star among the best in the industry. 

Killer Queens 2: Kings, Not Wings #1 will be available at your favorite local comic shop and digitally on August 9, 2023.
