Ice Nine Kills and Z2 Comics bring you Inked in Blood 2 - Once Upon a
Crime the even bloodier sequel to the debut graphic novel from Ice Nine
Kills.
There's always a sequel. INKED IN BLOOD 2: ONCE UPON A CRIME picks up
the bloody trail left by the debut graphic novel from ICE NINE KILLS,
with a shockingly "meta" twist.
Max Charnas, the ne'er-do-well identical twin brother of INK mastermind
Spencer Charnas, hatches (hatchets?) a plan to blackmail, frame, and
ultimately destroy his cinema-obsessed sibling. Hard-living,
duplicitous, and without scruples, sophisticated slasher Max will stop
at nothing to carve away Spencer's life, one cut at a time. Our story
begins at the Silver Scream Con horror convention, peeling back layers
of history and lore that would make the Bateman family shiver, including
Max's hedonistic nights at stately Charnas Manor. A family heirloom with
a particularly sharp edge; a Silence mask disguise; a bloodthirsty
public ready to see Spencer brought to "justice,"; and all of the
requisite mystery and intrigue that only a truly evil twin can summon.
The chills, thrills, and bloody kills at the black heart of the ICE NINE
KILLS mythology continue.
Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas crafted the INKED IN BLOOD 2:
ONCE UPON A CRIME story himself, with frequent collaborator Ryan J.
Downey, a longtime journalist.
