The Killer, star of the French crime comic, is back in The Killer: Affairs of the State II. BOOM! Studios is providing a first look at the book written by Matz, illustrated by Luc Jacamon, and translated by Edward Gauvin. It arrives in comic book shops in May 2025.

“In a cabin deep in the mountains of the South of France, the Killer has set up a new base of operations. From this remote hideout, he accepts each new mission with calculated precision, never straying from the assignment and always returning to this safe haven in the immediate aftermath,” per the synopsis.

“This practiced routine is suddenly disrupted when he discovers that he has some…unexpected neighbors. This unanticipated development seems to have the potential to finally alter the way the Killer sees the world, but for a man in his line of work, change isn’t just dangerous. It’s deadly,” the synopsis continues.

The Killer: Affairs of the State II #1 features a main cover by Jacamon and variant covers by Tyler Boss and Christian Ward.

The first issue will be in comic shops on May 7.
