Top Cow and EP1T0ME Studios are launching a new St Mercy: Godland, the next instalment of their St Mercy series, through Image Comics in April from writer John Zuur Platten and artist Atilio Rojo. "From the dangers of the Incan Empire and the American West into the ruthless, golden era of 1930's Hollywood."
According to John Zuur Platten, "No matter where Mercy goes or what era she's in, she can't escape her curse. In GODLAND, while the setting shifts from the Wild West to what was then called Hollywoodland, Mercy's unwanted duty remains the same – protect the Incan gold, death be damned."
"Mercy is relentless; we cannot wait for readers to reunite with her, to see our version of 1930s Hollywood, to meet the new cast from that era, and to experience the wild action scenes," says Atilio Rojo.
"Mercy's journey feels unique and unexpected, and reminds us of the eclectic journeys of Game of Thrones's Arya Stark or Quantum Leap's Sam Beckett," says EP1T0ME Creative Director Lee Thomas.
St Mercy: Godland's solicitation for issue #1, out on the 10th of April and in the next Image Comics solicitation list, is:

In St Mercy: Godland, Mercedes Oro finds herself immortal, forever tethered to the cursed ancient Incan gold, and in constant struggle with the Incan gods who deem her both a threat and an opportunity. Now, with the spirit of Toctolissica inside her, and her demon sister Quispe beside her, Mercy heads to 1930s Hollywood – a different golden age with gods of its own. Will Mercy's newfound star power be enough to hold the past at bay, or will the power of the gods force her into the bloody center of a conflict even she can't survive? April 10th, 2024 $3.99
