Oct 28, 2020Throughout the series thus far Killadelphia has brilliantly shined a light on the racial inequality of America generally, but this issue and Jupiter's story is a sobering punch in the gut about the harsh realities of slavery and America's history"vampires notwithstanding.

Oct 28, 2020Abigail has advanced to the next stage of her plan and if it works, she will plunge the whole city into darkness.

But Why Tho? - CJ
Oct 29, 2020Killadelphia #9 fleshes out the background of one of its major antagonists while slowly upping the stakes for its protagonists. With this issue, Jupiter falls into the stereotype of "antagonist with a righteous cause" that the X-Men's Magneto and Castlevania's Dracula also fits. I hope to see more of him in future episodes and see how the Sangsters deal with a nest of vampires. Read Full Review
