Image Firsts: Revival

In 2012, Image Comics launched Revival, a rural horror-noir series by writer Tim Seeley and artist Mike Norton that reimagined the undead not as monsters, but as a quiet, inexplicable phenomenon. Set in a small Wisconsin town where the recently deceased simply return to life—with no hunger for brains or desire for mayhem—the story follows the community’s uneasy adjustment to this strange new normal. This single-issue Image Firsts reprint offers a perfect entry point into a series celebrated for its grounded, character-driven take on supernatural suspense, establishing Seeley and Norton as deft storytellers of slow-burn dread.
