Destination Kill #1 throws readers into a future which takes place in the year 2125 that's equal parts exciting, chaotic, and unsettling. Set in a London where powerful corporations have replaced much of the workforce with robots, the book blends science fiction, crime, and social commentary without losing sight of its entertaining core. 

Joe Palmer introduces a world that's bursting with personality. At the center of it all is Gina Serene, an overworked detective who's barely holding things together as tensions rise between corporate power and a growing uprising. Teaming up once again with her former partner, private investigator Lance Wingman, she's pulled into a crisis that quickly spirals out of control. 

What impressed me most wasn't just the premise – it was the execution. The story moves at a brisk pace, balancing action, humor, mystery, and dystopian satire without feeling overcrowded. Gina is an immediately likable lead, and the supporting cast has enough personality to make me want to spend more time in this world. 

Palmer's artwork is another major highlight. Every page has its own energy, with expressive characters, imaginative technology, and a futuristic city that feels alive. The visual style is bold, distinctive, and perfectly matches the comic's rebellious attitude. 

Released by Oni Press on June 24, 2026, this second printing features a striking black and white variant cover by Joe Palmer. Destination Kill #1 is a stylish debut that mixes corporate dystopia, sharp humor, and fast-paced action into one of the more memorable first issues I've read recently. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where this series goes next.
