Episodes 11 & 13 in PDF format. "The Bastard Cop Alliance" + "The Boomerang Trap"

Episodes 11 and 23 are now collected in PDF format.

Inspector Casati, after being dishonorably discharged, is now a masked vigilante, hunting down the one who caused his fall... Karnifex, the elusive killer. But what if Casati crosses his path with the one of another masked hunter... the aloof young man known as The Unseen?

The so-called Mobbing Karnifex is setting up a scam on a rich old lady who is eager to do charity offers... but this time he is the one drawing the attention of the Unseen. For the first time, the masked young scholar faces directly Karnifex, in a clash that shatters even their supernatural uniforms, hurling them in the shadow world! Who is going to get out of there alive?

Episode 23 (part 2) - The Boomerang Trap

Part 2 of episode 23, The Boomerang Trap, features the Unseen -- a mysterious masked man who just managed to subdue Karnifex!

By using a spell hidden in Karnifex's own suit, the Unseen immobilized the masked scourge: now it's time to force Karnifex into taking off his own mask, releasing his human host and neutralizing the vengeful ghost curse which has been plaguing the Karnifex uniform for decades.

But is this strategy going to be enough against such a resourceful entity as Karnifex?

The answer may be found in a flashback that recaps the origins of the Unseen, revealing what his suit has in common with Karnifex's kin... and what is radically different between the two of them!

And there is more lying in wait for Karnifex in the shadows: a sharply dressed man wearing a black mask-- that same Unseen guy who has been trying so many time to subdue the Karnifex curse to his own will.

But unlike his previous plans, this time the Unseen is carrying a weapon-- a whip that can force even Karnifex on his knees!

"Giustizia" in PDF

L'episodio Giustizia è ora disponibile in formato PDF.

L'atletico giovanotto Enea è un modello di virtù sul lavoro, nella vita, nei rapporti affettivi: nessuno è più corretto, rispettoso, fraterno e giusto di lui.

Quando viene posseduto dalla maledizione di Karnifex, Enea si trasforma radicalmente: indossando la maschera e l'uniforme del mostro, Enea assume l'aspetto di un nerboruto delinquente, un picchiatore muscoloso e brutale che sembra l'incarnazione del suo lato oscuro.

Ma, anche così, la personalità di Enea ha il sopravvento, e Karnifex, seppur libero, non riesce nè a uccidere nè a violentare.

Purtroppo per Enea, però, il vero mostro deve ancora piombare nella sua vita, come scopre quando la sua ragazza lo imprigiona in una spirale di obblighi politicamente corretti... potrà Enea resistere alla tentazione di diventare Karnifex per non doverli soddisfare?

La versione in PDF offre contenuti speciali, un articolo di due pagine sui segreti della maledizione di Karnifex, e qualche dialogo riveduto e corretto.

As the 1960 Karnifex suit makes its appearance, another Karnifex manifests, bringing the story to a disastrous (altothoug announced) ending: it's the deadliest, ruthless German Karnifex!

WHO IS KARNIFEX?

Karnifex is the supernatural masked killer whose appearance is constantly changing, as his curse moves from one man to another.

The host is transformed, as their most secret and inhuman urges are brought to the surface, turning the man into the remorseless killer!

From that moment on, the gasmask and the uniform become the only real identity of the host, who begins a second life made of blood, sex and theft.

But the Karnifex Suit is a curse, and as such, will ultimately spell doom for the host and anyone whose life has been touched by Karnifex's deadly touch.
