A Brutal First Look at THE CREEPING BELOW #1!

BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at THE CREEPING BELOW #1, the premiere issue of the new original series by Harvey and Eisner-Award winning, New York Times bestselling author Brian Azzarello, along with acclaimed artist Vanesa Del Rey (The Empty Man, Redlands), colorist Hilary Jenkins (Black Badge, Grass Kings), and letterer AndWorld Design (Something is Killing the Children). Discover a revenge story about black metal, magic, and Norse mythology to life in the beautiful and brutal new series, coming October 2024.

The gods above, the creeping below.

BOOM! Studios invites you to witness this violent, electrifying descent into a bloody, black metal infused revenge saga.

When Val, an American metalhead attending a music festival abroad in Oslo, is victimized and killed at the hands of a charismatically evil local black metal band, the Old Gods of Norse Mythology raise her up and guide along the path of brutal vengeance in the name of women everywhere. But will she walk the warriors path, or become something far more terrible?

THE CREEPING BELOW #1 features main cover art by Vanesa Del Rey, and variant covers by highly acclaimed illustrators Maria Llovet (Faithless), Mike Deodato Jr. (Berserker Unbound), and Jae Lee (The Dark Tower) & June Chung.
