Killer Instinct

Based on the hit fighting game, this three-issue series from 1996—published by Acclaim Comics under the Valiant imprint—pits a cast of brutal combatants against one another in a mysterious tournament. Writers Art Holcomb and artists Bart Sears, Sean Chen, and Steven Butler brought the game's high-impact visuals and dark, supernatural lore to the printed page. It stands as a faithful, kinetic adaptation that captured the raw energy of the franchise during the mid-90s comic boom.
