Maniac of New York #1

[history79]

"‘Maniac of New York’ is a horror story about how crisis situations become our new normal. A slasher movie-style unstoppable killer is marauding through New York City, and since nobody knows how to solve the problem, everyone in power has given up and decides to just live with New Yorkers occasionally being hacked to death by an axe-wielding maniac."

The horrors of normalization, but the thing being normalized is Legally Distinct From Jason Voorhees.

(Which is a fun way for Kalan to resolve his " extreme adolescent disappointment with Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, which promised a citywide metropolitan bloodbath and delivered a couple shots of Jason walking through Times Square in a bad mood. ")

Hey now, Jason knocked over a bomb box when he was in New York.

I'm just going to assume that this is going to escalate to the killer rampaging through the White House and will be very disappointed if it doesn't.

Wonder if he can teleport like Jason, or is just your average super tough zombie.

I can't think of a single thing this is an allegory for. Not a one.

School shootings/mass shootings would be the closest comparison.

Shrug and carry on.

...damn this country.
