Blood Fetish : The Ghost Killer (Absolute Blood Book 1) Available August 21

#horror – #horrorcomics – #BloodFetish – #CarlosMadrigalFlores – #CarlosMadrigalFlores –

Blood Fetish Vol. 1: The Ghost Killer (Issues #1–5)

Real monsters don’t hide under the bed, they are out there, and they look just like us

Five world leaders commit suicide on live television. Fifty nations lose control of their broadcast signals. A masked figure in black—his face hidden behind a skull mask with blood tears—appears on every screen.

His name is unknown. His motives, unclear. His symbol? A question mark. But the world will come to know him as death incarnate.

In this compilation of issues #1 to #5 from Blood Fetish we follow a group of the greatest detectives of the world as they try to stop a mysterious and twisted masked serial killer and terrorist only known as “?” who terrorizes the world. Interpol has no leads. No fingerprints. No witnesses. Only blood, severed limbs, and taunting riddles. When a blackmail package arrives bearing the finger of a First Lady, followed by a SWAT team massacre broadcast back to headquarters, the message is clear: send better prey.

Outmatched, Interpol assembles a dream team of elite minds and lethal skills—Croc-Man, the masked vigilante; Naomi Gore, the Iron Maiden hacker; Johan Lecter, the mentalist thief turned detective; and more. But even they are toys in a grander game, as “?” continues to slaughter the world’s most infamous serial killers like trophies in a perverse hunt for challenge and thrill.

Explosively violent, psychologically brutal, and razor-sharp, Blood Fetish: The Ghost Killer is the first pulse-pounding volume in a blood-filled graphic novel saga. This is not a tale of heroes, it’s the meticulous chronicle of evil perfected. Dare to see true horror?

In a dystopian Japan where the legalization of all drugs has unleashed a wave of chaos, the D-Unit—our team of battle-hardened heroes—prepares for their ultimate showdown against the Dopemen, super-powered villains whose abilities are fueled by drug abuse.

As the stakes reach their peak, the D-Unit arms themselves to the teeth, ready to face off against an array of monstrous foes. Among them are a machine-gun-wielding duo, a colossal four-armed brute, and a terrifying masked figure wielding a deadly sword. The tension escalates as these villains wreak havoc across the city, leading to intense battles in dark car parks, high-speed car chases, and even dramatic takedowns of aircraft.

This volume is a must-read for fans of Ryo Yoshigami’s dark dystopias, such as Psycho-Pass, and those who crave intense, no-holds-barred action. Yuhei Ogino’s stunning artwork brings these epic confrontations to life, capturing the raw energy and devastation of each fight.

Dopeman Volume 3 is not just the end of a series; it’s a culmination of dark powers, ultimate weapons, and thrilling confrontations that will leave readers breathless. As the D-Unit battles to reclaim their city, Yoshigami and Ogino deliver a heart-pounding conclusion that fans of seinen manga won’t want to miss.
