Black Road #1
In "The Holy North," Magnus and Julia trek across a desolate frozen lake, the silence broken only by the crunch of ice beneath their boots—and the unsettling feeling they’re not alone. Through stark flashbacks, we glimpse Julia’s past in Rome and the quiet grief that shadows Magnus, a man still carrying the weight of loss. Written by Brian Wood and brought to life with chilling precision by Garry Brown (pencils and inks) and Dave McCaig’s evocative colors, the cover by Garry Brown sets a tone of isolation and dread.
