by Brendan M. Allen
Down the bunny trail comes the latest Pop Kill #1: Seasonal Flavors.
Mad Cave Studios continues their collectible variant rollout with a springtime twist. They’re bringing Pop Kill #1 back to print in a limited Easter-themed cover for collectors.
Featuring a seductively saccharine cover by Tula Lotay, this full-color collectible issue is written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Dave Johnson, with art by Juan Santacruz, colors by Brian Reber, and letters by Sean Konot to round out the creative team.

Imagine a world where the dominant soda companies, each worth billions, are owned by former conjoined twins, now bitter rivals who will stop at nothing to destroy each other. Assassins, saboteurs, and spies clash in a tale of brotherly love gone bad, and the dirty work done in their name.
Since its debut, Pop Kill has emerged as one of Mad Cave’s most talked-about creator-owned titles. It’s praised for its razor-sharp satire, fearless storytelling, and unapologetically dark take on corporate power. A breakout hit for the publisher, the series quickly built a loyal readership, with its first issue becoming a best-seller and a go-to recommendation for fans of smart, subversive espionage thrillers.
“Jimmy Palmiotti and Dave Johnson set the tone for Pop Kill from page one: fearless, irreverent, and unapologetically fun!” said series editor Kristen Simon. “This Easter reprint revisits that explosive debut with a beautifully unsettling new cover by Tula Lotay.”
Pop Kill #1: Seasonal Flavors arrives in comic shops on April 1st, 2026, with Final Order Cut-off on March 9th, 2026.
