Taking a ride on the “Kill Train”

We all like taking the train, right? So safe, so reliable, so what if there’s a chance you’ll be murdered before getting to your stop?

 

Well, that’s the real risk of public transit in the new five-issue comic series “Kill Train,” out through Mad Cave Studios. In the story, we meet Vanessa, a struggling artist and mother in the midst of a nervous breakdown, who discovers that she, herself, is on a Kill Train, the randomized extermination program to counter New York City’s crippling population explosion.

Now, for once in her life and with everything to prove, Vanessa decides she’s not going down without a fight.

Series writer Olivia Cuartero-Briggs joins us to talk about the inspiration for this wild series and how she came up with the concept of the Kill Train. We’re introduced to Vanessa and how the character was developed, as well as what she has to deal with. We’ll also be introduced to the team who provided the amazing art for this series.
