Comic book creators Brian Azzarello and Vanesa Del Rey are launching The Creeping Below, a new comic book series from Boom Studios in October 2024, described as a "revenge story about black metal, magic, and Norse mythology." Well timed for Hallowe'en, then.

"The gods above, the creeping below. Boom Studios invites you to witness this violent, electrifying descent into a bloody, black metal-infused revenge saga. When Val, an American metalhead attending a music festival abroad in Oslo, is victimized and killed at the hands of a charismatically evil local black metal band, the Old Gods of Norse Mythology raise her up and guide her along the path of brutal vengeance in the name of women everywhere. But will she walk the warrior's path or become something far more terrible?"

The Creeping Below #1 is published on the 2nd of October with covers by Vanesa Del Rey, Maria Llovet, Mike Deodato Jr., and Jae Lee.

Comic book writer Brian Azzarello is best known for the likes of comic book series 100 Bullets, Loveless, Moonshine, Hellblazer, Superman, Joker, Luthor, Before Watchmen, Wonder Woman, Dark Knight III and Batman: Damned.
