The early chapters of Silent War (from October 2009 to March 2010) depicted chaotic, youth-driven protests on Wall Street and are now considered prescient of the Occupy Wall Street movement that began in September 2011.

Godkiller: Silent War audiobook cover (2009). I'm super excited that the two stories can roll out together in this integrated way-everything about this project is unorthodox and crazy, hopefully everyone will enjoy the ride. So Silent War is only a prequel insofar as it happens beforehand, but its events drive the Walk Among Us story, and many of the same characters appear in both. there's the pre-nuke world of Silent War and there's the post-nuke world of the graphic novel and illustrated film Walk Among Us. Pizzolo explained the dramatic structure to Dread Central:

Pizzolo also wrote the serialized, pre-apocalyptic prequel Godkiller: Silent War, an urban fantasy novel series which debuted as episodic e-books & audiobooks on the special features of the Godkiller: Walk Among Us DVDs in October 2009. The complete Tomorrow's Ashes feature-length film was expected to premiere theatrically in 2011.Īdditional series Godkiller: Silent War The new series was slated to be released in mid-2011, followed soon after by the next wave of films. Pizzolo and Muckcracker are currently working on the second part of the trilogy, Godkiller: Tomorrow's Ashes.

The Walk Among Us film was slated for a unique release of limited edition, bi-monthly DVDs starting September 29, 2009, followed by a theatrical run of the full feature in January 2010 and a DVD/Blu-ray release in March 2010.ĭue to overwhelming demand far beyond studio expectations, the first DVD's street date was delayed until October 6, 2009, so enough DVDs could be supplied to the stores, including Best Buy, Borders Books, F.Y.E. Pizzolo and Muckcracker began by serializing Godkiller: Walk Among Us into a 6-issue comic book series (debuting in 2008) and a 3-episode film series (debuting in 2009) before the completed Walk Among Us feature film opened theatrically in 2010. The Godkiller series was devised to be simultaneously produced as a series of graphic novels and films (both utilizing the same sequential art) with the ultimate goal being a trilogy of feature-length films. My goal with it is to present heroes that don't behave heroically because it's their job to maintain the status quo or because they're bored and want to rescue a princess, they act heroically because they're regular misfits who are trying to do the best they can for each other in an unjust, fucked-up world.

I thought it would be fun to design a new mythology for fuck-ups and misfits. Pizzolo said about the inspiration behind Godkiller:

The publisher rushed a second printing to stores with a new cover by artist Yasmin Flores Montanez. With an initial print run over 40,000, it sold out in its first day of release. The painted cover by Nen Chang immediately became the publisher's all-time bestseller. Godkiller returned to comic book stores in July 2021 with the sequel Godkiller: Tomorrow's Ashes #1. In November 2014, it was reported that Godkiller would be rebooted as an animated feature film trilogy directed by Pizzolo. Godkiller returned in 2014 as a monthly paper comic book series from Black Mask Studios. In January 2012, the first issue of the Godkiller 2: Tomorrow's Ashes comic book series debuted as a digital series. The October 2009 illustrated film DVD Godkiller: Walk Among Us - Episode 1 quickly established itself as its distributor's all-time fastest-selling release.

In 2010, following an underground release by Halo 8 as episodic shortform DVDs, the complete illustrated film was distributed wide by Warner Bros. The series is particularly notable for its use of experimental and innovative media formats, such as the illustrated film format Pizzolo developed with producer Brian Giberson that merges sequential art with 3D CGI, motion graphics and dramatic voice performances in the style of a radio play. The core series is a trilogy of feature-length illustrated films beginning with Godkiller: Walk Among Us, illustrated by Anna Muckcracker and featuring performances by Lance Henriksen, Davey Havok (lead singer of AFI), Danielle Harris, Bill Moseley, Lydia Lunch, Nicki Clyne, and Justin Pierre (lead singer of Motion City Soundtrack). Godkiller is a transmedia series of graphic novels, illustrated films, and novels created by filmmaker Matt Pizzolo that tells the stories of human beings caught in the crossfire of warring fallen gods.
