Killtopia: The Complete Collection

by Dave Cook, Clark Bint, Craig Paton

Overview

Ten years ago, Neo Tokyo was suddenly infested by killer mecha. Today, the machines are haunted by high-tech bounty hunters known as ‘Wreckers’ in the city’s Sector-K district – now rebranded as ‘Killtopia,’ and home to the world’s most popular bloodsport. While on a hunt, an amateur and unlicensed Wrecker, Shinji, encounters Crash: the world’s first sentient mecha. In Crash’s code lies the cure to the Rot – a nanomachine plague that’s slowly killing humanity, including Shinji’s only remaining – his sister, Omi. Together they set off to heal the planet, being pursued by only every Wrecker, yakuza ganga, android assassin, influencer, and scumbag in Neo Tokyo.

About the Author

Hailing from Scotland, Dave Cook is an author who writes comic books, video games and books about gaming. He created Killtopia and then produced it with the series' original artist Craig Paton. Together they won several awards for the series. Dave's also the writer of retro beat 'em up tribute comic series BPM: Beatdowns Per Minute, the psychological horror trip, Deadliner, and Ninja Baseball Spirits.

When it comes to comics, Clark Bint is a bit of a playful weirdo. Having worked on such titles as FRANK AT HOME ON THE FARM and MURDER MOST MUNDANE, he has a knack for injecting intensity, humor and detail into every page. Comparisons of his work has been made to the likes of Moebius and Frank Quitely, though he feels he’s more of a Heath Robinson by way of Junji Ito. When he’s not working on comics, he’s probably somewhere listening to 90’s mixtapes and drawing something stupid.

Craig Paton is a relative newcomer to comics. Aside from Killtopia Craig created the cover artwork for the Card Shark Comics series Bust. Outside of comics, Craig has been a professional illustrator for a decade. As well as working on video games and movies, he is recognised for his work for commercial clients, like Edinburgh Gin, Holland & Sherry and BBC Scotland.

Editorial Reviews

“Reads like a twisted future that’s not far from our own” Darick Robertson (The Boys, Transmetropolitan)

“Killtopia is the epitome of mecha, cyberpunk storytelling. With its clear homages to old-school manga and anime, this is the perfect dystopian universe.” A Place to Hang Your Cape

Killtopia is a meticulously-crafted fusion of glamour and gloom, perfectly portraying a future as energetically effervescent as it is unforgivingly brutal, and more than worthy of taking its place alongside the litany of classics that inspired it.” Starburst Magazine

“Killtopia achieves what Cyberpunk 2077 attempted to deliver. This comic is stunning to look at and exhilarating to read.” Comic Book Yeti

“Vastly impressive in every way. High octane action, massive science fiction ideas, a big cast and a punk aesthetic mean it walks like a heavyweight and punches like a super heavyweight. A startlingly strong debut, an embodiment of everything cyberpunk does well and one of the best science fiction comics I’ve read so far this year. Utterly recommended.” Tripwire Magazine

“Killtopia is truly sci-fi in its nature, asking “what if?” on so many different levels that the book is very, very possible—frighteningly so! I mean, even some of the robots have advertisements and happy faces on them! I have a feeling we’ll see that in real life before too long.” Major Spoilers

“It’s sci-fi, it’s violent, it’s good-hearted, it’s tragic, it’s funny, it’s beautiful in many ways and it’s bathed in love for Japanese culture.” Comic Book News UK

"A good, noisy, sci fi action series!" Down The Tubes

"This is an action-packed techno-punk story about sacrifice and redemption." Dragon's Cache

"Wholly original and exciting." Forces of Geek
