All You Need Is Kill
Synopsis coming soon.......
The official graphic novel adaptation of the original novel that inspired the sci-fi blockbuster film starring Tom Cruise: All You Need Is Kill.
When the alien Mimics invade, soldier Keiji Kiriya is killed, easily, on the battlefield. But he wakes up the previous morning as if nothing happened and must fight the battle again...and again...and again. Teamed up with the mysterious female fighter known as the Full Metal Bitch, Keiji must figure out how to stop the cycleβand what role his new and deadly ally plays in the fight to save Earth.
Author Nick Mamatas (Bullettime, Love Is the Law) and artist Lee Ferguson (Miranda Mercury, Green Arrow/Black Canary) give Hiroshi Sakurazaka's mind-bending alien invasion tale a bold new look in the official comic adaptation of the original novel.
Now a major motion picture starring Tom Cruise!
