Killer Queens





They put the SASS in ASSASSIN! 
 

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.

Praise for Killer Queens

“Good writers tell good stories. Great writers create worlds. Awesome writers develop entire universes! And that’s what David Booher has done here…”—Outrightgeekery.com (Praise of CANTO)
 
“[…] Claudia Balboni’s art, […] takes innumerable visual touches from classic westerns, from the factory-produced efforts of the 1940s and 1950s, to the spaghetti westerns of the 1960s. Yet Balboni twists them into something darker.”—Richard Gray of Newsarama about Black Jack Ketchum
