The Game Has Changed in THE KILLER: AFFAIRS OF THE STATE #3

Discover the Eisner-Nominated Series by Luc Jacamon and Matz Before the Netflix Film

from Acclaimed Director David Fincher in April 2022.

LOS ANGELES, CA (April 4, 2022) – BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at THE KILLER: AFFAIRS OF THE STATE #3, the next issue in the return of the Eisner Award-nominated series by acclaimed French artist Luc Jacamon and writer Matz (The Black Dahlia), bringing readers into the Killer’s high-stakes world of espionage and contract killing before the upcoming Netflix film directed by David Fincher (The Social Network), written by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en), and starring Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class).

The game has changed… A key player has been knocked off of the board for good, and the Killer finds himself in the midst of an escalating crisis. The Killer’s handler within the French government tasks him with tracking down the source of illegal guns fueling local gang wars… one with dangerous ties to a hotshot political figure.

THE KILLER: AFFAIRS OF THE STATE #3 features all-new main cover art by series artist and global star illustrator Jacamon, and variant covers by highly acclaimed artists Greg Smallwood (The Human Target) and Zoe Lacchei (Something is Killing the Children).
