Episode 8 - Voodoo (cover)

Featuring two different versions of Karnifex, from two different ages, Episode 8 - Voodoo is the pivotal episode that finally reveals the final half of Karnifex's secret origin!

Tattoo Karnifex finds himself inexplicably transformed, as his costume slowly changes its pattern, and his mask morphs from gasmask to skull mask: why is this happening now, and who is murdering Karnifex's partners in the company board?

The answer may come from the sinister witch who is manipulating a very familiar juju, or even from a skull-masked killer from the 1960s, whose costume looks a lot like Karnifex' catsuit!

No other incarnation of Karnifex has ever been abused, humiliated, defeated and mistreated like this one-- but the true power of the masked killer is still to be revealed, as his opponents will soon learn!

WHO IS KARNIFEX?

Karnifex is the supernatural masked killer whose appearance is constantly changing, as his curse moves from one man to another.
Whoever receives the Karnifex uniform cannot avoid donning it: the gasmask, the gloves, the catsuit, the boots.
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.

All will be revealed in this nightmarish and deadly conclusion-- but will someone get out of here alive?

Episode 8 - Voodoo (prologue)

Can you really quit being Karnifex? Or does the suit own your mind even if you abandon it somewhere?

In Voodoo (prologue), Giovanni has buried the Karnifex suit in a closet of his own house and went back to a fully civilian life.
But the Karnifex identity is like an infection (or an addiction) that keeps worming its way inside Giovanni's head: his memories constantly go back to the thrill of when he was Karnifex, and his minds makes up excuses after excuses to push him back to wearing the suit.
Unaware of how absurd those excuses are, Giovanni begins a new descent into the corruption of Karnifex, without even realizing what's happening to him.
After he gives up and embraces the temptation, will he be able to take the suit off once again? Or will the Giovanni identity be lost forever?

Tattoo Karnifex 2.0
For the first time, this episode goes online in PDF format only, featuring a 5-pages story that acts as a prologue to Giovanni's final adventure.
