Killer Influences #1
Releases on 7/1/2026
Story
The second series in IDW's new crime line is here! Killer Influences follows Melvin, a serial killer who wants to be among the most notorious of all time – an American nightmare come true. His problem? He is so efficient and methodical that he lacks any recognizable signature. No one has connected his crimes – except Kylie, an aspiring true-crime influencer struggling at a small-town newspaper. When she stumbles across Melvin's crimes and reaches out to him, she sees how she can become a star herself: she gives Melvin the identity he needs to become an iconic serial-killer legend, while documenting his deeds on her channel and becoming famous. Kylie and Melvin strike a pact that makes their dreams come true – and destroys their lives.
Eisner Award nominee Joey Esposito (The Pedestrian, Batman: Urban Legends) and exceptional talent Valeria Burzo (Castle Full of Blackbirds, EC Comics) deliver a sharp, gripping true-crime serial-killer saga with Killer Influences.
