They put the sass in assassin! A queer take on 1950s sci-fi nostalgia, Killer Queens follows two reformed assassins-for-hire—Max and Alex—as they navigate galaxy-wide bounty hunts, confront their pasts, and burn patriarchies to the ground.
When an old boss resurfaces and drags them into chasing down a runaway heir to the throne of Sarelia, an alien planet ruled by brutal misogyny, the couple must use all their slay-worthy skills to save the day. What begins as a simple mission becomes a journey of self-discovery and revolution.
Colorist Harry Saxon brings his signature vibrant, atmospheric coloring to this love letter to queer sci-fi, earning the series nominations for both Eisner and GLAAD Media Awards.
The series was followed by Killer Queens 2: Kings, Not Wings, continuing the adventures of the galaxy’s sassiest ex-assassins.
Perfect for fans of Guardians of the Galaxy, action-comedy, and queer joy in space.
