Rasputin #1 (2015) introduces a chilling, character-driven supernatural thriller from writer Alex Grecian and artist Riley Rossmo, whose stark, atmospheric art defines the tone from the first page. As the title character faces betrayal from those closest to him, he confronts a haunting past shaped by a life-altering choice—saving his mother with forbidden power, while failing to save his father, whose ghost now follows him like a shadow. The cover, also by Riley Rossmo, captures the weight of that legacy in a single, haunting image.
In "null," Rasputin confronts the weight of his past as he faces betrayal from those he trusts most. Through haunting memories, he recalls the moment he first wielded his gifts—saving his mother, yet failing his father—and the ghostly shadow that has followed him ever since.
In "null," Jo reflects on the early days of his rising fame as the man the Tsarina trusts, even as those closest to him prepare to end his life. Written by a master of historical fantasy, the story unfolds through haunting memories of power, loyalty, and the weight of belief.
