They put the SASS in ASSASSIN!
Meet Max & Alex. Reformed intergalactic assassins-for-hire. On the run. Also super gay. Their former boss-a fluffy monkey with a jetpack-is hot on their tail to take back his stolen ship. They gotta eat (tacos preferably), so they take a mission from Alex's old flame. Your standard no-kill, casualty-free kidnapping recovery from a nearby moon. Only complication? Half the moon is ruled by a fascist dictator hostile to foreigners. They're the Killer Queens, so what could possibly go wrong?
Pretty much everything.
Softcover, 128 pages, full color.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Kings, Not Wings!" Collects Killer Queens 2: Kings, Not Wings (2023 Dark Horse) #1-4. Written by David M. Booher. Art by Bradley Clayton. Cover by Chris Ables. Back Cover by Bradley Clayton. Join rising star David M. Booher (Canto, All-New Firefly) and an all-LGBTQ creative team as they tackle issues of identity, family, and freedom in this hilarious and heartfelt sequel. During a day of questionable choices at Space Pride, Max & Alex bump into their old boss, Bieti and his new-and-improved hench bears. The grumpy little simian tries to get them back on his team to chase down a runaway heir to the throne of Sarelia, an alien planet ruled by a brutal patriarchy. Little does he know that the heir in question happens to be Alex's younger sibling. And they have... wings. Turns out, a genetic quirk gives some of their race wings when they're born. But on a planet that lives by the motto "Kings, not wings", those born with wings are required to have them cut off. The king is doing all he can to get his youngest heir back on the butcher block and restore the line of succession. As Alex and Max race to save Alex's sibling from Bieti, the king's guard, and a galaxy-wide bounty hunt, they'll dredge up Alex's past and confront her planet's misogynist present. Softcover, 96 pages, full color. Cover price $19.99.
