Alan Robert (w & a & c x3)
What do you get when you throw three murderers into one prison cell
together? Well, when those characters happen to be based on the
likenesses of celebrities Frank Vincent (Goodfellas, Raging Bull,
The Sopranos), Marky Ramone (formerly of The Ramones) and Brea
Grant (Heroes, Dexter), you can bet that the outcome will be
anything but ordinary. From the creator of IDW’s hit series
Crawl to Me (now in development to become a feature film), comes
Alan Robert’s Killogy, an off-the-wall, genre-busting mash-up
of crime, dark comedy, and horror. Written and illustrated by Alan
Robert, the respected musician from the hard-rock group Life of
Agony.

Kyle Hotz (c)
In the midst of a rural land-rights struggle, Iris Shaw is a
federal conservation officer who is murdered in a bombing by a
rag-tag band of right-wing activists. Little do her killers know
that Iris wasn't their only victim, and now, with the help of the
Crow, Iris must exact vengeance for her own death, and that of her
unborn baby. Raised from her grave and armed with cold-blooded
hatred and a few deadly weapons, Iris hunts down her killers one by
one. But if exacting ultimate pain is the goal, when does vengeance
cross the line to brutality? And what is the price of the soul?
