Rising star writer Gus Moreno, whose debut novel This Thing Between Us was awarded a “Best Book of 2021” recognition by NPR, joins forces with visionary artist Jakub Rebelka for a mesmerizing descent into Hell in When I Lay My Vengeance Upon Thee.
Father Barrera is a disgraced priest, haunted by his part in the tragic death of an innocent child. As penance, he is exiled to the remote South American town of Puerto Cristina to apprentice under the enigmatic Father Stygian, the preeminent, if not controversial, exorcist. It is a joyless assignment.
Exorcists are normally trained in the Vatican, but Stygian has his own way of handling demons…methods that predate even the Church. And unfortunately for Barrera, Stygian’s last apprentice committed suicide not too long ago.
As Barrrera seeks to unlock the mysteries of Stygian’s strange practices, he finds himself amidst an island rife with the forces of evil…
What do these constant streams of possessions mean? And how are they connected to a comatose hospital patient, one who’s been in that condition for half a century without aging a single day…
When I Lay My Vengeance Upon Thee #1 features main cover art by series artist Jakub Rebelka, and variant covers by acclaimed illustrators Jacob Phillips, InHyuk Lee, and Jae Lee and June Chung.
