Mad Cave Studios announces its first-ever R-rated series, and The Beat has exclusive details, including a first look at the interior art of issue one. Debuting in February 2025, Pop Kill is an adult humor comic co-written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Dave Johnson, with art by Juan Santacruz, colors by Brian Lever, and letters by Sean Connott . The series was originally launched on Kickstarter in 2020, but has now joined the Mad Cave catalog.
Pop Kill is about conjoined twins who hate each other after their separation and each own competing cola companies worth billions of dollars. They hire assassins, saboteurs, and others to interfere in each other’s lives and businesses every day. According to the recruitment statement, “This is a story about the miscommunication of brotherhood and the people it helps with its dirty work.”
“Pop Kill is a sexy spy-driven crime story about two brothers’ obsession and the fallout from their misdeeds,” Palmiotti said in a statement. “It’s like nothing you’ve ever read before. Dave Johnson and the entire Popkill team are thrilled to finally be able to release this series to the public from Mudcave, one of the coolest companies in the comics industry today. I’m excited.”
Johnson added, “It’s a dream come true for Pop Kill to see the light of day. Humor, violence, sex, and SODA! What else do you want from a series?”
The Beat can share the interior art for issue #1 and the main cover art by Johnson below. You can also check out the variant cover by Dan Panosian and the 1/10 copy incentive cover by Amanda Conner.
In addition to the above covers, Pop Kill #1 will feature an explicit version by Brian Stelfreeze. This issue will be released on February 26, 2025 through your local comic shop and digital retailer.
