Image Comics Brings Serial Killers Right At Your Door With 'Nailbiter'

Image Comics presents a thrilling new horror series that dives deep into the murderous world of serial killers. Writer Joshua Williamson (Ghosted) and artist Mike Henderson (Masks and Mobsters) bring readers Nailbiter, a twisted series revolving around a demented town that raises and breeds notorious killers.

Already making news during the previous Image Expo, Nailbiter takes place in Buckaroo, a notorious town that has spawned over 16 infamous serial killers. The title refers to Edward Charles Warren, a vile killer who ate more than just the nails of his victims. The Nailbiter serial killer must help a special agent as he searches for his missing friend.

In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Williamson delves more about the premise and its main protagonist, "Finch is an NSA Agent with a bit of a temper who will act as our eyes into this crazy murderous world. The reason he comes to Buckaroo, Oregon is because a friend of his, this FBI Profiler that arrested the Nailbiter, was obsessed with finding out more about the town. He goes to Buckaroo to investigate and goes missing. That's why Finch comes to find him. Finch doesn't really care about the serial killers; he thinks its f*cked up, but he's more concerned with his missing friend. He starts realizing that to find his friend, he needs to solve the mystery of why so many serial killers come out of this town. He realizes that his friend figured it out, and he has to do the same to find him."

Plot Synopsis:

Buckaroo, Oregon has given birth to sixteen of the vilest serial killers in the world. An obsessed FBI profiler investigating the town has suddenly gone missing, and now an NSA agent must work with the notorious serial killer Edward "Nailbiter" Warren to find his friend and solve the mystery of where serial killers come from.
