Phantoms is the direct sequel to the original Killtopia story arc, co-created by author Dave Cook and artist Clark Bint, with colours by Emma Oosterhous and letters by Micah Myers.
Set five years after the first arc, Killtopia: Phantoms stars our returning character, Bloody Mary, and a whole new supporting cast (plus some surprise cameos here and there...)
After turning her back on the Killtopia bloodsport, Mary's now a police contractor working with an elite task force called Phantoms Unit.
Together, the unit fights to hunt down a notorious mind hacker, who is terrorising Neo Tokyo's citizens - warping their minds with disinformation and making their worst fears come to life before their eyes.
As Phantoms search for the hacker, they enter into a deadly game of conspiracies, shadowy organisations and a brewing Yakuza turf war that has global stakes.
Get ready to lose your mind when Killtopia: Phantoms debuts on Kickstarter October 31st, 2025.

Killtopia: Phantoms explores the darker side of Neo Tokyo, with elements of psychological horror and a deeper look at the yakuza underworld that was lightly touched on in the original story arc.
Thanks to the mind hacker's abilities, we've had a lot of fun coming up with many gnarly moments of twisted, dark horror that will leave you guessing if what you're seeing is real or not.
Of course, Phantoms wouldn't be a Killtopia story without plenty of wild technology, brash characters and the same dry humour that our series has become known and loved for.
So if you're a fan of the first Killtopia arc, you're going to get a huge kick out seeing how Neo Tokyo has evolved since the end of Killtopia #5, plus all the callbacks and cameos we have in store.
Killtopia's new era begins on Kickstarter, October 31st. Register early to be the first to read our first issue and secure limited run rewards.
