Ahead of next week’s annual retailer event ComicsPRO, IDW Publishing has announced a new crime-themed imprint. Overseen by senior group editors Heather Antos and Jake Thomas , IDW Crime will launch with three miniseries this summer, each consisting of three 40-page issues
The second book, Killer Influences , by Joey Esposito (The Pedestrian ) and Valeria Burzo (The Creeping Below ), is a dark true crime satire revolving around Melvin, a serial killer who’s so “efficient and methodical” that he’s flown under the radar. That is until Kylie, a true crime influencer “reaches out to him, hoping his story can help her become a star. The unlikely duo will make a pact to accomplish their dreams… and destroy their lives in the process.”
