Epic Kill Announced By Image Comics

Image Comics has announced a brand new comic book series called Epic Kill, which tells the story of a girl assassin. Epic Kill is by Raffaele Iencom, and the series is due to arrive in comic book stores in May of 2012.Epic Kill stars eighteen year old Song, who is an assassin, but she doesn’t know it. Song attends the St. Thomas School for Troubled Girls, which leads to hints of her past life. Her reflexes allow her to catch a tea cup before it hits the floor, and she has memories of sparring sessions.”Song was taught to ‘suppress all human emotion and compassion’ because of her mission — which is far bigger than what you see in the first issue — can’t be completed by someone with doubt, someone who would stop for even a second and question what she is doing,” said Ienco. “She’s come to America to fulfill this mission and left all the tears she’ll ever shed back home in the body of the little girl she once was. Anyone who gets in her way… better move.”In the series, Song has to fight her way through scores of men, who are trying to kill her. She hopes to find the man who sent them, which may help to solve the mystery of who she is. According to Image Comics, Ienco has promised to honor the title of the comic by having Song perform at least one epic kill in every issue.
