Animator and independent comic book creator Joseph King is getting his next creative project ready to launch: a hyper-violent barnyard brawl titled Slaughter Squad.

Here’s the pitch taken from the Indiegogo pre-campaign page:

Its about to get bloodier…

Somewhere in Texas, a team of livestock with nothing to lose takes on the forces of Big Meat armed with nothing but horns and a bad attitude. And a machine gun. Volume one is the first in an epic story arc that will culminate in a war for herbivore independence.

I’m getting an “Animal Farm plus the 2nd Amendment” vibe here, and I’m loving it.

While we all wait for the Slaughter Squad crowdfunding campaign to launch later this year, you can check out some sample artwork below or sign up for email updates on the Slaughter Squad pre-campaign page here.
