The Necromancer #1

"Something in the Way Part 1" kicks off The Necromancer #1 with a chilling twist on teenage rebellion: when popular cheerleader Abigail, grounded by her minister father for sneaking beer after a game, agrees to host a Bible study to shorten her punishment, she swaps scripture for a book of spells—only to summon the demon Mali with deadly consequences. Written by Joshua Ortega and brought to life by Francis Manapul’s striking art and a team of inkers including Kevin Conrad, this dark supernatural tale unfolds with a quiet suburban setting that quickly spirals into horror. The cover by Manapul and Conrad captures the eerie shift from innocence to dread, setting a tone that lingers long after the first page.
