Actor Jay Baruschel and comic book writer Van Jensen team up with Dark Horse Comics to present Tear Us Apart with artist Alessandro Micelli. Tear Us Apart is an action-adventure Shakespearean story of teenage love…with enough bloodshed to make Tarantino blush. The four-issue miniseries launches on September 6, 2023.
“This comic is a love letter to the 1990s,” says co-writer Van Jensen. “A story we can all relate to: A boy and a girl meet and fall in love, and the only thing between them and a happy ending is a horde of the world’s best killers.”
So what’s Tear Us Apart about?
Deep in the Canadian wilderness, a vicious cult, dedicated to an ideology of pain, trains children to become deadly assassins. In the midst of this world of cruelty, two teenagers break the cardinal rule—by falling in love. The only thing standing between them and happily ever after is an army of murderers with a taste for blood.
