Killadelphia

Rodney Barnes’ Killadelphia (Image, 2019–present) is a horror series that reimagines vampire mythology through the lens of American history and systemic injustice. Set in Philadelphia, it follows a detective who uncovers a centuries-old vampire conspiracy rooted in the city’s—and the nation’s—dark past, with Jason Shawn Alexander and Germán Erramouspe providing the visceral, shadow-drenched art. Over 35 issues, Barnes blends supernatural terror with sharp social commentary, making it a standout modern horror comic that uses the undead to explore real-world legacies of racism and power.
