A Chilling New Era: The Creeping Below Takes the Spotlight
‘Swamp Thing’ meets ‘The Crow’ in a blistering new series. Emerging from the shadows is The Creeping Below, a fresh tale from the brilliant mind of Brian Azzarello. This captivating blend of horror and myth emerges with stark visuals from the talented Vanesa Del Rey. It’s a novel series that already has fans clamoring for more.
In an impressive feat, The Creeping Below #1 has completely sold out at the distribution level. Rooted in a revenge saga, the narrative combines black metal, magic, and Norse legends. Its exquisite artistry brings this haunting tale to life, with colors by Hilary Jenkins and letters from AndWorld Design. November 2024 marks the official debut of this much-anticipated release.
A Brutal Symphony of Myth and Metal
The plot weaves a brutal tapestry of myth and vengeance. At its heart is Val, a metal enthusiast who meets a grisly end in Oslo. An evil local black metal band proves her undoing, but destiny has other plans. The Norse Old Gods, watching from above, resurrect Val with a singular mission. They task her with seeking bloody retribution, not just for herself but for women everywhere.
As Val treads this dark path, questions loom. Will she become the warrior the gods envision, or morph into something even more daunting? This violent descent into darkness is both electrifying and unsettling.
