The Missionary HC
Writer Ryan Stegman (VENOM, SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN, X-MEN, VANISH) and artist Jason Howard (BATMAN, TREES, BIG GIRLS, THE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN) team up to create THE MISSIONARY, a horror comic for the ages.
Bryce Hunter is a devoutly religious man whose faith is shattered when he catches his wife being... Intimate with an Elder from his church. This harrowing event sends Bryce spiralling into the hands of a demonic entity named Uvydus.
Instead of rejecting possession, Bryce ACCEPTS Uvydus. Bryce wants to learn to be "bad" and Uvydus wants to be "less than completely evil." But before Bryce can use this new partnership to finally live a little, the world's greatest Exorcist sees Bryce as his greatest challenge. But that's not even the worst of it as a murderous group of demons breaks free from Hell and threatens to re-shape earth into a kingdom over which they rule!
The combination of Bryce and Uvydus allows Bryce to manifest demonic powers to fight both the EVIL and GOOD forces who want him destroyed. The fate of eternity hangs in the balance as Bryce and Uvydus must fight to not just survive but reconcile their opposite natures and become THE MISSIONARY.
An action-packed story featuring demons, gun battles, and a blasphemous friendship that will drag you straight to hell.
The Mass Market Hardcover features the complete three-issue series.
For fans of PREACHER, CHAINSAW MAN and THE EXORCIST.

The Creeping Below TP
THE GODS ABOVE, THE CREEPING BELOW
Val, an American heavy metal fanatic, is on her dream vacation: attending the Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo, Norway. There she meets a charismatic young band, who take her out to a remote forest to show her the local “haunts.” Taken by their charm and oblivious to the danger, Val is drugged, beaten, and left for dead...
But her story is far from over.
She wakes at dawn, haunted by a vision of rain falling from a wolf’s jowls. Stumbling back to Oslo, she finds that the festival has already ended — 13 years ago.
The world has moved on and the men who brutalized her are long gone, but when moss and roots begin to sprout from her skin... she realizes that everything has changed. Everything except her desire for revenge, that is.
In nature, there are gods older than man, and something ancient, something… hungry, has awakened powers in her that will guide her rage as she seeks to exact justice on those that wronged her.
Writer Brian Azzarello and Vanesa Del Rey deliver a bloodsoaked feminist revenge saga, blending Norse mythology and eco-horror into a boundary-pushing cocktail of metal, magic, and murder!
