They put the SASS in ASSASSIN!
Meet Max & Alex. Reformed intergalactic assassins-for-hire. On the run. Also super gay. Their former boss--a fluffy monkey with a jetpack--is hot on their tail to take back his stolen ship. They gotta eat (tacos preferably), so they take a mission from Alex's old flame. Your standard no-kill, casualty-free kidnapping recovery from a nearby moon. Only complication? Half the moon is ruled by a fascist dictator hostile to foreigners. They're the Killer Queens, so what could possibly go wrong?
Pretty much everything.
After their ship is forced to crash land way off target, they have to escape from a high-security detention center run by a race of alien xenophobes. Then it's all laser blasts and one-liners until they face the choice between getting paid for their mission or helping out a struggling group of refugees fighting a rebellion. Tacos are overrated, anyway.
Join rising star David M. Booher (
Canto,
Alien Bounty Hunter) and an all-LGBTQ creative team as they tackle issues of love, xenophobia, and the terror of fascist dictatorships in this hilarious sci-fi epic.
Author Biography
In his words:
When I'm not writing comics and film, you can find me geeking out at comic conventions and marveling at how my husband and our adopted greyhounds continue to put up with me.
I grew up in a small Ohio town reading Stephen King, watching The Goonies and Nightmare on Elm Street, eating Lucky Charms in front of He-Man, trading Garbage Pail Kids, playing video games, and going outside. I love Star Wars, the 80's, and indie comics. I still play original Nintendo.
