Produktbeschreibung

For fans of Reservoir Dogs-style dark comedy and chaotic criminal camaraderie, a Noir-turned-Manga. Rio delivers stunning artwork, sharp wit, blood-soaked backstories, and a brutally offbeat take on redemption. Unemployed Killers Support Group is a razor-sharp, darkly hilarious noir-esque manga from Taiwanese creator Rio, shortlisted at the 2023 Angoulême International Comics Festival. This is not your average self-help group. Locker Loyed, once a deadly sniper, lost his vision--and his job--on a mission gone wrong. Now, he's joined an unlikely circle of former contract killers, each grappling with their own personal collapse. Among them: Gloria Maze, a meticulous assassin whose career imploded after catching her husband cheating and killing the mistress in a jealous rage; Jerry Cole, a justice-obsessed lawyer turned bloodthirsty executioner; and Jordi Joe, a delusional con man who's never actually killed anyone. As they try to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, Locker begins to realize his past isn't done with him. A dangerous figure--the one responsible for his blindness and a friend's death--is still at large. And revenge is still on the table. For fans of dark comedy, crime thrillers, and twisted found family, Unemployed Killers Support Group is a bold, bloody, and brilliantly offbeat ride through the lives of society's most dangerous burnouts. Welcome to the group--check your conscience at the door.
