Ice Nine Kills continue the carnage in new graphic novel Inked in Blood II: Once Upon A Crime

Since their inception, Ice Nine Kills have drawn on blood and horror to create theatric music. Naturally, frontman Spencer Charnas has brought that creativity to the graphic novel world, thanks to Z2 Comics.

Now, Charnas has teamed up with co-writer Ryan J. Downey and artists Giorgia Sposito and Nino Cammarata for a brand-new story of crime and carnage. Titled Inked in Blood II: Once Upon A Crime, the project serves as a sequel to the 2021 horror thriller, Inked in Blood

Inked in Blood II introduces Charnas’ identical twin brother Max, who plans to destroy his sibling by any means necessary. Set at the Silver Scream Con, a horror convention that debuted last August in the band’s home state of Massachusetts, serial killers and doppelgängers cut loose — and it’s anyone’s guess who’ll make it out alive.

“I’m bloody honored that Spencer asked me to take a stab at telling this story with him,” Downey said in a statement. “He’s one of my favorite people, even if I half expect to find him lurking outside my window some rainy night.”

Additionally, Mike Cortada, who designed the sinister album artwork behind Ice Nine Kills’ last two studio albums, The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood, illustrated the cover art.
