Acclaimed comic and video game writer William Harms is teaming with fan-favorite artist JP Mavinga and colorist Lee Loughridge for White Sky, a dystopian horror thriller launching next month from Image Comics. The series was exclusively revealed at IGN, alongside a first-look preview that teases a bleak, haunted vision of America after the end of the world.
Set five years after the sky inexplicably turned white—and civilization collapsed—White Sky follows Violet and her father, David, as they’re forced out of hiding and into the ruins of what remains of the United States. With San Francisco reduced to a shattered husk and rumors of safety driving them forward, the pair must cross a country haunted by the dead, where survival is never guaranteed and nowhere is truly safe.
The debut issue will also feature a striking variant cover by award-winning animation artist Eliza Ivanova (Cars 2, Brave, Inside Out, Coco), adding another visual draw to the series’ launch.
“For me, every page is just the story of one small family trying to survive,” said Mavinga. “When we face impossible challenges and incomprehensible monsters, sometimes, the only source of courage we have are the ones who won’t abandon us, our loved ones and our family.”
Harms traced the concept back to a simple but unsettling idea. “I’ve always been a fan of ghost stories, so I thought, what if the entire world was haunted? That was the genesis for White Sky, and since then it’s turned into a deeply personal story about a man and his daughter trying to survive in that world.”
Blending supernatural horror with intimate, character-driven drama, White Sky positions itself as an apocalyptic survival tale in the vein of The Last of Us, The Walking Dead, and 28 Days Later—but with a ghostly twist that makes the end of the world feel even more inescapable.
