Frey Asvald Faces Final Negotiations in Zack Kaplan’s Kill All Immortals III

Posted on by

Following the explosive monster success of the best reviewed creator-owned debut of the year, Only The Savage Are Left, the immense popularity of Masterminds, and the highly anticipated August release The Smart Division, Zack Kaplan concludes a blockbuster year with Dark Horse Comics by teaming up with Marvel superstar artist Francesco Mortarino, for the climactic finale of immortal Vikings and blood-soaked business with Kill All Immortals III.

After facing the consequences of mortality for the first time in their lives and surviving the challenge, the Asvald siblings must sacrifice everything or risk total destruction at the hands of impossibly powerful immortal foes! Colorist Thiago Rocha and Eisner-winning letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou return for more high stakes family and societal drama that’s been described as Succession meets John Wick.

Arriving in October, Kill All Immortals III features main cover art by series cover artist Oliver Barrett, with issue #1 enjoying variant covers from Eliza Ivanova, Elena Casagrande, and celebrated cover artist Jenny Frison.

The Asvalds were once a billionaire Viking family with the secret to immortality, until the family’s only daughter, Frey Asvald, led a rebellion against their barbaric father. Now, with their family splintered and wounded, they find a daunting world of rival immortals seeking their demise at every turn. As Frey takes on her most deadly adversaries yet, she must finally decide what is most important, her freedom from war or her Viking vengeance. 

The world of immortal Vikings was drenched in violence and death against just one rival, but how will the Asvalds prevail against an immortal world ready to destroy them.

Zack Kaplan and Francesco Mortarino leave every heart-stopping moment on the page when Kill All Immortals III #1 (of 5) arrives in comic shops on October 7, 2026, for $4.99.

Following the success of Kill All Immortals, Masterminds, The Midnight Shadows, and Break Out, Zack Kaplan and Dark Horse Comics are continuing their partnership to offer a thrilling slate of new 2026 comic series throughout the Dark Horse 40th anniversary year. Starting with Only The Savage Are Left in June, Kaplan teams up with artist Stefano Raffaele, followed by The Smart Division with John J Pearson in late summer, before finishing out the year’s lineup with Marvel superstar artist Francesco Manna, for a finale to the story of Frey Asvald in Kill All Immortals III in the fall. The slate includes the work of Thiago Rocha, and Eisner-winning letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou alongside Eisner-winning designer Tom Muller.

Stefano Raffaele joins Kaplan, with colors by Rocha and letters by Otsmane-Elhaou, for Only The Savage Are Left, a powerful and dramatic action-adventure story where surviving the monster-apocalypse requires you to become a monster yourself.
