ATHANASIA OGN
(W) Daniel Kraus (A/CA) Dani
From New York Times bestselling author Daniel Kraus (the horror master behind The Shape of Water, Trollhunters, The Living Dead, The Autumnal and Whalefall) and award-winning artist Dani (Arkham City: The Order of the World, Coffin Bound, The Low, Low Woods) comes the most disturbing superhero story ever told. Forrest Molson is going nowhere. One year out of high school—and one year into sobriety—she's working with her father as assistant groundskeeper at Athanasia Cemetery, the final resting place of fallen members of the Dynamic Guild, Venture City's resident superheroes. At her lowest point, Forrest discovers Athanasia's darkest secret. At night, the cemetery soil bleeds a substance created from the ooze of rotting superheroes. This ooze becomes Forrest's new drug—and she's intent on using the unpredictable powers it bestows to be judge, jury, and executioner of Venture City's evil citizens. But, as she loses her mind to her new addiction, she inches closer to becoming the most evil of all. ATHANASIA is a superhero story seen through the darkest lens. $29.99 10/8/2025
