A breakout horror comic from BOOM! Studios will go back to press for a second printing after selling out at the distributor level. The publisher describes the original story The Creeping Below as "Swamp Thing meets The Crow."
The Creeping Below is a revenge story with black metal, magic and Norse mythology. The solicit for the series reads, "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?"
