Preview: The Killer Returns In ‘Affairs Of The State II’ #1
by Brendan M. Allen
BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at The Killer: Affairs of the State II #1. The French crime saga by writer/artist duo Matz and Luc Jacamon, letterer AndWorld Design, and translated by Edward Gauvin arrives in comic shops this May.

In a cabin deep in the mountains of the South of France, the Killer has set up a new base of operations. From this remote hideout, he accepts each new mission with calculated precision, never straying from the assignment and always returning to this safe haven in the immediate aftermath.
This practiced routine is suddenly disrupted when he discovers that he has some…unexpected neighbors. This unanticipated development seems to have the potential to finally alter the way the Killer sees the world, but for a man in his line of work, change isn’t just dangerous. It’s deadly.
Check out the variant covers and preview pages below.
Featuring main cover art by series artist Jacamon and variant covers by Tyler Boss and Christian Ward, The Killer: Affairs of the State II #1 hits spinner racks on May 7, 2025.
