Product Description Tor.com's Best Comics of 2018 THE WICKED + THE DIVINE writer KIERON GILLEN teams up with artist supernova STEPHANIE HANS (WicDiv, Journey Into Mystery) for her first ongoing comic. DIE is a pitch-black fantasy where a group of forty-something adults have to deal with the returning, unearthly horror they only just survived as teenage role-players. If Kieron's in a rush, he describes it as ""Goth Jumanji"", but that's only the tip of this obsidian iceberg. Collects issues #1-5 of DIE Review " Die is a compelling drama, filled with secrets and lies. It has the reliable wit and grace one expects from Gillen along with rich and stunning artwork by Hans, who is without a doubt delivering her best work to date. Gorgeously rendered, perfectly constructed, Die is a fantastic new series that pulls the reader into a new world, in more ways than one." - Declan Shalvey, Moon Knight, Injection, Return Of Wolverine "A fantastic slice of suburban Gothic that promises to be as intricate and heartbreaking as any game. A certain critical success." -- Dan Watters, Lucifer, Limbo, Deep Roots "Has the potential to follow in the footsteps of Saga, Invincible, and The Walking Dead to become an instant classic for Image." -- The Comeback "Emotional evisceration awaits. I cannot recommend this highly enough" - Marguerite Bennett, Animosity, Bombshells "I've had the pleasure of reading Die from Gillen, Hans & Cowles and it's everything I love about comics. It's such a great concept for a series." - Gerry Duggan, Deadpool, Analog "Seriously, pre-order your copy; it's so good!" - Women Write About Comics Review LIBRARY JOURNAL -- Gillen (The Wicked and Divine: Deluxe Edition; Year Three) subverts high fantasy adventure tropes with an infusion of creepy horror, resulting in an exploration of arrested adolescence and the effects of childhood trauma made truly haunting by Hans's (Asgardians of the Galaxy. Vol. 1: The Infinity Armada) realistic illustrations and Cowles's (Young Avengers) gloomy color palate. Fans of any of the genres represented in this volume, which collects Issues 1-5 of the continuing series, will find much to enjoy.
