PORTLAND, Ore. 02/06/2024 — Eisner Award winning writer Skottie Young and Eisner Award nominated artist Jorge Corona—the team behind Eisner Award nominated Middlewest and Bram Stoker Award nominated The Me You Love In The Dark—reunite for an all-new story titled, Ain’t No Grave. This five issue miniseries is set to launch in May from Image Comics.
Ain’t No Grave is best described as a genre-bending, original macabre Western/Fantasy tale for mature readers—an Unforgiven-style journey through a Guillermo Del Toro-esque lens.
“Jorge and I are back at it again and I can’t wait for people to get their hands on this genre bending western tale we’ve been weaving," said Young.
Ryder put her violent past behind her when she fell in love and became a mother. But that was before she learned it was all going to be taken away. Now she’ll have to pick up her guns once again and ride to kill the one behind the threat. Who just happens to be Death.
Corona added: "Without spoiling too much of the plot, Ain't No Grave takes some of my favorite elements from our previous books and merges them into a dark fantasy story wrapped in all the violence of a classic western. It feels good to be back working with Skottie and the team."
Ain’t No Grave #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 8 and will be an eye-popping, extra-length issue with enough story to get readers hooked instantly.
Ain’t No Grave will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play. |
