British independent comics publisher Pigdog Press has launched a Kickstarter for their brand new limited series comic, Killing Moon Rises , a gothic action fantasy adventure.

Following on from the shocking events that concluded the original run of Killing Moon, an elite band of assassins find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy that will lead them to the ultimate test of their murderous skills. But how do you kill a God?

Killing Moon Rises -

Killing Moon Rises Issue One begins a four-part saga of love and death. “Well, mostly death,” aadmit the creators. “In ‘The First Cut’ Moses Valentine and the team literally go to hell and back, but that’s just the start of a journey that will ultimately take them to the precipice of apocalypse.”

Included with every installment will be a brand new support strip, a self-contained “Tale of the Killing Moon”. To get things started with a bang, “Warwick & Ajax” sees Moses face a big, big problem. And by “problem” we mean “monster”.
