Those who would court its sweet temptations or seek to gain its favor are legion, and they are not satisfied merely stalking the shaded veils of night. They walk among us. They might be our teachers. Our police. Our politicians. Even our most beloved. Yet the bond they share is as universal as death itself: They are all predators of the innocent. They are the Wicked.Nathanial Ellstings was born with the Forgiving. The only power in all creation that can snatch a soul away from the evil that consumes it. And for that reason, he is a man on the run, having dedicated his life to shifting the balance back towards the light and saving the Wicked from themselves...So come, take a step into the dark side with the most ambitious horror title in years. Conceived and worded by the devilish mind of Francis (Wetworks) Takenaga and lavishly illustrated by Roy (Loner, Aria) Martinez, THE WICKED promises to be a psycho-dramatic rollercoaster ride of the best X-Files derailed by the palpable evil of the Exorcist...and then some!This spine-snapping, supernatural thriller begins in December. A warm, crimson Christmas present from Artis Studios, to you.
