In the land of Florida, someone is killing cast members of the Storybook Kingdom theme park. That’s the hook for the upcoming Muder Kingdom from Fred Van Lente and Chris Panda. The series arrives in October from Mad Cave Studios.
Once upon a time, in a strange land called Florida, a masked psycho starts murdering cast members of the Storybook Kingdom theme park in ways identical to the gory original Grimms’ Fairy Tales. Princess-turned-detective Tanith is the only person who can unmask the killer before she and her friends are all Dying Unhappily Never After!
“Murder Kingdom riffs on classic slashers and classic fairy tales in equal measure,” said Fred Van Lente in a press release from Mad Cave Studios. “It’s a giallo whodunit with a tomboy princess detective who has to make sure she and her best friend live to see the sunrise—and that means unmasking the killer. One of my first jobs was as a fry cook at a theme park and I feel like I’ve been working on this project ever since. I’m so thrilled that the team at Mad Cave have helped me bring it to bloody life. And I am so lucky to have Chris on artwork. His work is equal parts adorable and terrifying, resulting in some of the most shocking kills I’ve seen in any horror comic ever.”
Murder Kingdom #1 is scheduled to arrive on October 9, 2024.
