Five friends from the upper echelons of New York’s fashion world are granted superpowers by a mysterious ancient deity. With their newfound abilities, they form the House of Slay, vowing to combat the fear of the other and build a community of love, hope, and solidarity. But they’re not the only super-powered act in town! A ruthless and mysterious man fueled by the shadowy hatred of everyday people is on the hunt for more mystical power. What happens when he comes face-to-face with the House of Slay?
HOUSE OF SLAY is an inclusive space for underrepresented voices from all walks of life. It is a place where you are visible, heard, and validated.
Five prominent members of the New York fashion world—Phillip Lim, Prabal Gurung, Laura Kim, Tina Leung, and Ezra J. William—are granted incredible powers by a mysterious Phoenix deity. Together, these friends and heroes form the HOUSE OF SLAY, vowing to use their newfound powers to promote love and hope for humankind. All who wish to join them in their fight against evil and hate are welcome in the House of Slay!
A digital comic series, which can be read on TAPAS, is the first of many manifestations of the HOUSE OF SLAY. This comic is filled with the heroic representation we all wanted to see growing up. The characters will take on social issues, racism, and hatred, not only in the AAPI community, but the misrepresented as a whole. Members of the HOUSE OF SLAY vow to use their powers to promote love and hope for humankind.
