Pop Kill #1 — Lloyd Bailey MegaCon Exclusive Foil Cover Publisher: Mad Cave Studios | Released: February 26, 2025 Writers: Jimmy Palmiotti & Dave Johnson | Artist: Juan Santacruz | Colorist: Brian Reber MegaCon Exclusive Foil Cover: Lloyd Bailey | Near Mint | Rated M This is the Lloyd Bailey MegaCon Exclusive Foil Cover of Pop Kill #1 — a convention exclusive with the premium foil treatment adding extraordinary metallic shimmer and depth to Bailey's bold, graphic, pop-art inflected cover. Bailey's irreverent, electrifying composition depicts a wildly fun American-themed pin-up: a blonde in a Statue of Liberty crown triumphantly raising a Fizz One cola can to the sky before a dynamic stars-and-stripes backdrop, her companion pressed close behind her — rendered in Bailey's signature bold, expressive illustrative style. The foil treatment makes the American flag elements and the composition's many sparkling details pop with metallic luster, turning an already striking convention exclusive into an exceptional display piece. Lloyd Bailey's "LB" signature is inscribed directly on the cover art. Imagine a world where the two dominant and competing Cola companies, each worth billions, are owned by former conjoined twins — now separated and consumed by mutual hatred. They hire assassins, saboteurs, and espionage operatives to meddle with each other on a daily basis. Pop Kill is a sexy, spy-driven crime story about two brothers' obsession and the fallout from their bad behavior. 🔑 KEY ISSUE — YES, SERIES KEY & CONVENTION EXCLUSIVE Series premiere of Pop Kill — the 4-issue mini-series that went back to print by popular demand; one of the most talked-about indie debuts of early 2025 Lloyd Bailey MegaCon Exclusive Foil Cover — a convention-exclusive edition available only at MegaCon with a limited print run; Bailey is a celebrated cover and pin-up artist known for his bold, graphic, retro-inspired style; his MegaCon exclusive for Pop Kill is one of the most visually distinctive and thematically on-point covers in the entire lineup — the Statue of Liberty/American flag composition perfectly captures the series' over-the-top patriotic excess and Cola-War absurdism Foil treatment — the premium foil cover elevates the standard MegaCon exclusive into a particularly collectible display piece; foil convention exclusives are consistently among the most sought-after and scarce editions in the indie variant market First-ever R-rated series from Mad Cave Studios — a landmark publishing milestone Co-written by Jimmy Palmiotti & Dave Johnson — two of the most beloved creators in modern independent comics Ships bagged, boarded, and protected in a Gemini mailer.
