Image Comics has announced a new series from Skottie Young and Jorge Corona titled Ain’t No Grave. The creative team behind The Me You Love in the Dark is teaming up again for a fantasy western for mature readers they’re calling an “Unforgiven-style journey through a Guillermo Del Toro-esque lens.” Giddyup!
“Jorge and I are back at it again, and I can’t wait for people to get their hands on this genre-bending western tale we’ve been weaving,” said Young.
So what’s Ain’t No Grave about?
Ryder put her violent past behind her when she fell in love and became a mother. But that was before she learned it was all going to be taken away. Now she’ll have to pick up her guns once again and ride to kill the one behind the threat. Who just happens to be Death.
Corona added: “Without spoiling too much of the plot, Ain’t No Grave takes some of my favorite elements from our previous books and merges them into a dark fantasy story wrapped in all the violence of a classic western. It feels good to be back working with Skottie and the team.”
