Courtesy of BOOM! Studios, AIPT can exclusively reveal Tate Brombal (House of Slaughter) and Nick Robles (The Dreaming: Waking Hours) are teaming up for a brand new series called Behold, Behemoth. It’s an original horror series about how a man’s fracturing world and monstrous nightmares foreshadow the unthinkable. Fans can expect to find it in comic book shops in November 2022.
“Behold, Behemoth may be the most ambitious, exhilarating comic of my career, solely because we are building something that comics hasn’t quite seen before,” said Brombal. “It is psycho-horror meets post-apocalypse by way of biblical fantasia, all spinning around the complicated bond between a grieving man and an orphaned girl. And I cannot wait for everyone to witness the culmination of Nick Robles’ entire creative career in these pages. But, for now, simply behold… Behemoth!”
The new series will feature letters by AndWorld Design and covers by Andrea Sorrentino & Dave Stewart, Jeff Lemire & Patricio Delpeche, and Robles.
“Just going by the name alone, it really feels like we have something special here… Behold, Behemoth! It conjures the promise of something beyond us, and that’s exactly what we’re setting out to create with this book!” said Robles.
Check out the preview below.
