The new issue will see Spawn, Savage Dragon and the cursed one known as Blacula come together as the story ramps up for an epic conclusion in issue #36. Image has shared new images from the interior of Killadelphia #35 showing Savage Dragon holding someone at gunpoint while demonic figures feast on their victims in another bloody scene.

In addition to Killadelphia #35’s cover art and interior pages, Image Comics also released a graphic advertising the series making its return and noting that the upcoming issue will have ‘No Red Band Required’, but saying that it is still only approved for horror-loving audiences. Issue #35 marks the first new issue of Killadelphia after a six-month hiatus, with issue #34 being released on Feb. 28.

Killadelphia’s Death Be Not Proud Arc Marked Spawn’s Entrance to the Series

Killadelphia’s latest story arc, Death Be Not Proud, began with issue #31, which marked Spawn’s arrival in the series as Heaven and Hell clashed in Philadelphia. Killadelphia #31 began the crossover with Todd McFarlane’s popular character and also served as a new jumping-on point for new readers of the series. Later issues in the arc saw Spawn becoming a bloodthirsty vampire as Savage Dragon entered the mix, with enemies in the series including undead presidents, werewolves and even Lucier himself.

Killadelphia #1 launched the Eisner Award-nominated series back in 2019, as a small-town beat cop went home to bury his murdered father and began to unravel a mystery that took him on a path of horrors. Image Comics’ solicit for the series states: “The city that was once the symbol of liberty and freedom has fallen prey to corruption, poverty, unemployment, brutality… and vampires. Welcome to Killadelphia.”
