Millenials Kill is an anti-capitalist thriller queer mafia comic parody (and a mouthfull). The story happens in a former corporate town where millennials are killing everything: industries, businesses, boomers and each other. A journalist with Pulizer prize in mind tries to uncover the secrets of the Sigma Wolf mafia running the place, but unfortunately he’s dumb as fuck. The readers are left to do their own digging if they want to learn the full story.

If you are interested, here’s a bit of the history of Millenials Kill. Basically in 2015 or so I was slowly getting frustrated in the comics I made. I felt that I only had time to make comics for work and I didn’t have any time to have fun with comics! I had been studying in the Liminka School of Arts and I remembered the times we just drew comics together for fun and to impress each other. We made funny comics about each other and the jokes in the comics were such inside jokes that nobody else would have ever thought of them as jokes. I missed that, so I started a comic called Tosi Huono Yaoi Sarjis.
Wait? What? Not Millenials Kill?
Yup, not Millenials kill. Tosi Huono Yaoi Sarjis, or THYS, was a bl parody comic that I drew as fast as I could manage! I made about 7 pages of it every day! I didn’t plan the plot, I just did whatever was the most fun in my opinion. The comic looked horrible and had more plotholes than some thing with a lot of holes in it! Here’s a page if you don’t believe it looked bad.
Now remember, this isn’t bad because “ugly drawing bad” it’s bad because it was bad for my personal level. I have read a ton of comics that look like this and I have loved them.
THYS got pretty long pretty soon, I mean drawing 7 pages a day is a lot! Though one page took me approximately 3 minutes, so it wasn’t that much of work. Eventually THYS ended without a proper ending as I just didn’t have time for it after beginning my Webtoon Life Outside the Circle.
Then years passed and in 2022 I started feeling like all my art was only done for work again. I didn’t draw stuff just for the joy of drawing! So I thought to myself “Why don’t I restart THYS, but like… make it dark, that’s what the cool kids do, right?” I’m not sure if that’s what cool kids do, but that certainly is what movie studios love doing to old comics! So changing THYS into a completely different comic, but with the same characters, brings in another level of parody into this parody. Nobody really needs to get that though, I’m making it for me.
So… I have always liked dark mafia AUs of my favorite characters, so of course I chose a mafia theme! THYS was queer, so of course this comic would become a queer mafia comic! Then I decided to add in some thriller elements because I had just watched the Hannibal series and of course it’s also anti-capitalist, because that’s just me… Next I needed a name for the comic. I had already started drawing it when I realized Millenials Kill is the perfect name! Most of the characters are either Gen Z or Millenials (and generally media tends to mix Gen Z with Millenials a lot, Millenial seems to just mean “general young person” to them) and they kill things. On the first page you can already read about the corporation they killed! No spoilers, but a mafia thriller comic normally includes killing, so be prepared.
