Ancient Gods Pull the Strings in Your First Look at THE CREEPING BELOW #2

BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at THE CREEPING BELOW #2, the next 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 come to life in the beautiful and brutal new series, coming December 2024.

In the primordial forests of Norway, a young photographer investigates a grisly ritualistic murder– her own. In the black metal occult underground, she discovers gods– ancient and older, that may be pulling the strings, the puppeteers of humanity. And she may be one of the ancients herself.

THE CREEPING BELOW #2 features main cover art by Vanesa Del Rey, and variant covers by highly acclaimed illustrators Brian Level (The Department of Truth), Yanick Paquette (Damn Them All) with Nathan Fairbairn, and Tula Lotay (Hello Darkness).
