Rated “M/ Mature”
Killadelphia and Elysium Gardens created by Rodney Barnes and Jason Shawn Alexander
“Home is Where the Hatred Is” Part V: “To Make Man”
Killadelphia is an apocalyptic vampire and dark fantasy comic book series from writer Rodney Barnes and artist Jason Shawn Alexander and is published by Image Comics. At the center of this series is a police officer caught in a lurid conspiracy in which vampires attempt to rule Philadelphia, “the City of Brotherly Love.” Colorist Luis Nct and letterer Marshall Dillon complete Killadelphia's creative team.
Killadelphia focuses on James “Jim” Sangster, Jr. and his father, revered Philadelphia homicide detective, James Sangster, Sr., thought to be dead. He is actually a vampire. Now father and son lead a ragtag team comprised of a medical examiner, a dead president, and a rebellious, but special young vampire (Tevin Thompkins a.k.a. “See Saw”) in a bid to save Philly from an ambitious and murderous former First Lady.
As Killadelphia #17 (“To Make Man”) opens, Tevin visits an old friend … for a little blood. Later, James, Jr. begins the journey that will return him to humanity after being turned into a vampire. To do so, however, James will have to confront the dark legacy of abuse that gets passed down from father to son. In this case, James, Sr.'s legacy represents both. Plus, a we get a first look at the “Dark Realm,” with some help from Anansi.
Meanwhile, Thomas Jefferson makes a move at being a “vampire king.” So what does the “vampire queen” have to say about that?
THE LOWDOWN: Killadelphia is now in the penultimate chapter of its third story arc, “Home is Where the Hatred Is.” This may be the story arc that most reveals the complexities and multiple layers of Killadelphia, making it more dark fantasy than mere vampire comic book.
Writer Rodney Barnes offers a chapter that is a bit more philosophical than usual. It is surprising, especially considering that he is preparing the readers for some red, hot-blooded Armageddon. It can be a surprise, to both characters and readers, when the revelation comes that everything is worse than thought. On the other hand, it is good that we see more complexity in Tevin Thompkins; he is a most human vampire, and I hope he gets his own something – graphic novel, miniseries, one-shot, etc.
Artist Jason Shawn Alexander and colorist Luis Nct are always ready to draw and color the delights and eccentricities in Barnes' scripts. There is an odd balance of surreal, especially in the place where Jim, Jr. must find himself, and artists' suggestions and presentations of the “Dark Realm” are creepy. The other part of that balance is the fire they light back in Philadelphia, conveying through the story that it is about to go down.
I am still impressed that Barnes and Alexander are able to make each issue of Killadelphia unique It blows my mind, and I implore you, dear readers, to drink fully of this cup of red.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of vampire comic books and of exceptional dark fantasy will want Killadelphia.
[Killadelphia #17 has a backup feature: “Elysium Gardens” Part 10 “The End” by Rodney Barnes, Chris Mitten, Sherard Jackson, and Marshall Dillon.]

Fantagraphics to Publish Jason's Graphic Novel, "Good Night, Hem"
Beloved Cartoonist Jason Mixes Fact and Fiction in His Latest Graphic Novel GOOD NIGHT, HEM Starring Ernest Hemingway
Fantagraphics Will Publish The Three Interconnecting Short Stories This Fall
SEATTLE, WA - Three interconnecting short stories starring Ernest Hemingway comprise the latest graphic novel by the beloved Norwegian cartoonist, Jason, out this fall from Fantagraphics. Mixing fact and fiction, Jason has imaginatively recreated one of America's greatest and most controversial writers of the 20th century in the playful and thoughtful GOOD NIGHT, HEM.
Paris, 1925. Our story begins when Hemingway meets Athos, the last Musketeer, who, together with several more friends of Hemingway, travel to Spain's Pamplona for the fiesta. Festivities and complications ensue.
Paris, 1944. The second story starts the day after the liberation of Paris when Hemingway, now a war correspondent, decides enough is enough, and takes action to end the war for good. With a group of adventurers and resistance fighters, he parachutes into Germany to do just that.
Cuba, late 1950s. Our literary lion is in his twilight years, writing his memoirs, remembering his first and second meeting with the seemingly immortal Athos.
Here’s what people are saying about GOOD NIGHT, HEM:
"Jason delivers an at times whimsical but overwhelmingly melancholic portrait, revealing reverence and sympathy for Hemingway without ignoring the author's shortcomings. One of the best releases of 2021." — Library Journal (starred review)
"Mixing fact and fiction, no other artist has had as much fun or provided as much insight into the Hemingway mythos as Jason." — Robert K. Elder, Hemingway in Comics
"Jason continues to be one of the best cartoonists working anywhere." — Publishers Weekly
"The Norwegian artist who goes by the single name Jason is the most deadpan comedian in comics." — The New York Times
"Unlike traditional literature, comix, and particularly Jason's simple style, allow the reader to fully move into the space provided. Slowly, but altogether too fast, you look back and see an entire book, and an entire life, has gone past." — Time Magazine
Fantagraphics will publish the imaginative literary homage GOOD NIGHT, HEM on September 21, 2021.
