AfterShock comics has announced the publication of a new original graphic novel from writers Steve Orlando and Phillip Kennedy Johnson, with art from Alec Morgan. Set in the world of MMA, Kill A Man follows the story of James Bellyi, a queer fighter who is outed at a press conference and loses everything—his title shot, his fans, his team, and even his family.
To fight his way back, James goes to the only man willing to coach him—Xavier Mayne, who is himself a queer fighter. The only catch is that sixteen years earlier Mayne killed James’ father in the ring—and young James had a front row seat to his father’s death.
