WILLIAM OF NEWBURY #1
Writer: Michael Avon Oeming
Artist: Michael Avon Oeming
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: May 29, 2024
Loosely based on real events in 12th century England during what was known as “The Anarchy.” A time where the country was beset with plague, civil war, and demons. William of Newbury is a neurotic monk, fearful of the earthly world, but confident and unwavering in the face of true evil. He fights the dead to restore peace, but his brother is intent on stopping him, fearing for his soul. Newbury is dark, yet quaint, deadly yet cute. Follow him as he negotiates with thieves, evades his brother and the church, and battles the undead and evil spirits.

Something is wrong in the deep forests of Broke Tree Valley. Something deadly. Something mammoth.

Now, it’s back, and things are about to go Very Bad if four people-Olivia, Jess, Kokoro, and Mason, scientists who have come to the small city of Kasbro to investigate a bizarre series of seismic activities in this heavily forested valley-can’t put the Mammoth to rest. One real problem with this is…Olivia’s dead.
