Contract Killers are Altering the Timeline in, ARTEMIS AND THE ASSASSIN

December 6, 2019 Off By Michael Stagno

A new pulp series coming to AfterShock Comics combines the ability of time travel with contract assassins who just don’t care about affecting the timeline in, Artemis and the Assassin, from creators Stephanie Phillips and artists Meghan Hetrick and Francesca Fantini.

The series follows an international group of time-traveling assassins who are all willing to interfere in ‘watershed moments’ throughout history, but for a price. The main character, Maya, is tasked with killing Virginia Hall, the most-notorious female spy during World War II. The mission, however, doesn’t go as planned and the two women’s lives are changed forever.

“I love writing two very distinct, unique and kick-butt women traveling through time,” Phillips said. “Obviously, there is a lot of tension since Maya’s goal was initially to kill Virginia. I also love the opportunity to place these characters in bizarre situations. With time-traveling on the table, the obstacles and settings are endlessly fun.”

Artemis and the Assassin #1 debuts on Wednesday, March 18, 2020.
