Dark Horse Books presenta el nuevo capítulo completo y emocionante de los ex-asesinos más descarados de la galaxia con Killer Queens Volume 2: Kings, Not Wings trade paperback, recopilando los números 1-4 de la segunda serie de Killer Queens.
Durante un día de elecciones cuestionables en Space Pride, Max y Alex se encuentran con su antiguo jefe, Bieti, y sus nuevos y mejorados secuaces. El pequeño simio gruñón intenta que vuelvan a formar parte de su equipo para perseguir a un heredero fugitivo al trono de Sarelia, un planeta alienígena gobernado por un patriarcado brutal. Poco sabe él que el heredero en cuestión resulta ser el hermano menor de Alex. Y tienen… alas.
Resulta que una peculiaridad genética les da alas a algunas de sus razas cuando nacen. Pero en un planeta que vive bajo el lema "Reyes, no alas", a los que nacen con alas se les exige que se las corten. Se supone que los hace más "masculinos". El rey está haciendo todo lo posible para que su heredero más joven vuelva a la carnicería y restaurar la línea de sucesión.
Mientras Alex y Max corren para salvar al hermano de Alex de Bieti, la guardia del rey y una caza de recompensas por toda la galaxia, sacarán a la luz el pasado de Alex y se enfrentarán al presente misógino de su planeta. Si eso significa quemar el patriarcado hasta los cimientos, bueno, saca las antorchas.

NOTA DE PRENSA OFICIAL ORIGINAL
DARK HORSE BOOKS PRESENTS: “KILLER QUEENS VOLUME 2: KINGS, NOT WINGS” | |
The assassins are back and more fabulous than ever in this paperback collection | |
MILWAUKIE, Ore., (June 29, 2023)—Dark Horse Books presents the complete and thrilling new chapter of the galaxy’s sassiest ex-assassins with the Killer Queens Volume 2: Kings, Not Wings trade paperback, collecting issues #1-4 of the second Killer Queens series. Follow Max and Alex on their latest mission across the galaxy as they face their former simian boss, questionable life decisions and family drama! The Eisner and GLAAD Award-nominated series features work by an all-LGBTQ+ creative team including writer David M. Booher, artist Bradley Clayton, colorist Harry Saxon, letterer Lucas Gattoni, and cover artist Chris Ables.
During a day of questionable choices at Space Pride, Max and 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. It’s supposed to make them more “masculine.” 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. If that means burning the patriarchy to the ground, well, get out the torches.
