| INTRODUCTION K.I.A is a comic book anthology and the much-awaited debut of femme fatale Kai as she breaks out from the pages of Angel Ace to star in her own title. Thanks to events in Angel Ace NEXT, Kai has had her previous life
stripped from her, as she is betrayed and liquidated by her own
commander, Seta. With each mission she takes, K becomes more powerful, more skilled
and more secure in her position as the deadliest martial arts assassin
in the world. But even in her clouded mind, deep within there are
elusive fragments of memory that seek to surface. Memories that
point her to what she was and what she has lost. K.I.A. is a stand-alone title and series but is tied in with Marco Dimaano’s Angel Ace comics. II. STORY Briefing Several months ago, a female operative known only as ‘K’ assassinated Ashaddi billionaire Mongref Iffar, an arms merchant and supporter of various terrorist groups. The assassin supposedly fought her way through Ashaddi’s guards, incapacitating a small army of highly-trained mercenaries single-handedly. After decapitating Iffar with a sword taken from one of his guards, ‘K’ was pursued by Ashaddi special forces as she was fleeing the billionaire’s mansion compound. According to reports, the assassin was shot several times with automatic weapons fire before she fell into the river and vanished. In the following weeks, more high profile assassinations take place in various flashpoints all across the globe, also attributed to the mysterious ‘K’. The reasonable conclusion is that there is more than one K - a corps of highly-trained, highly-motivated, professional female operatives, all with the same code name and bearing the same general appearance. This is corroborated by the fact that several of the known ‘K’ incidents have ended with the subject K.I.A., though the bodies of the slain operative have, for one reason or another, never been recovered It is generally believed that the notion of an invincible, un-killable female super-assassin is ludicrous. - an excerpt from ‘The K-Files’ An INTERPOL Special
