THE MAIN CHARACTERS refreshing perspective on the concept of wearing a mask and the diverse interpretations fans can derive from it. Killr™ is truly a cosplayer’s dream.” Viola sought to think outside of the traditional slasher narrative when co-writing the comic with Graham Jones. “I think TRUE BELIEVERS is a must-read for cosplayers. It’s analyzing what it means to be a cosplayer. It’s talking about embracing a character, becoming a character. It’s talking about community, why we go to these conventions, why we gather, why we come together.” Everyone who backs the series on Kickstarter at a physical level will receive a copy of the first issue. Other tiers include variant covers; signed books by Graham Jones, Viola and Matsuya; signed prints; patches designed by artist AJ Nazzaro (Hearthstone, Overwatch), a one-of-akind Killr™ latex mask; an opportunity to become a character in Issue 2; a 2024 Colorado Festival of Horror 3-Day Pass for 2; and a CD/ digital soundtrack. “We hope TRUE BELIEVERS provides thought-provoking commentary on the very essence of fandom and the meaning of being a devoted ‘true believer,’” says Matsuya (Jupiter Jet, Midnight Massacre), the comic’s interior artist and creator of Issue 1’s Cover A. Matsuya’s artistic brilliance is joined by fan favorite horror comic artists for the other haunting variant covers: B) Xander Smith (American Horror Story); C) Aaron Lovett (Monster Train); D) Juan Samu (Elvira); E) Robert Hack (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina); F) Clara Meath (Goosebumps). TRUE BELIEVERS will debut at this year’s Colorado Festival of Horror where attendees can engage in a Slasher Comic Panel Discussion with the creators and cover artists, before a signing and photo-op at Hex Publishers’ booth, complete with an opportunity for a free, limited comic print and more. “Killr™ moves like smoke. He’s as quiet as shadow. He’ll get you when you least expect it,” says Graham Jones. Don’t miss the opportunity to summon the horrors that lurk in the shadows and experience a world of horror fandom never seen before.
