Memorial

Chris Roberson and Rich Ellis crafted a haunting six-issue mystery for IDW in Memorial (2011–2012), following a woman who wakes from a coma with no memory and a strange key that unlocks a hidden world of magic and danger. The series blends urban fantasy with a noir-tinged atmosphere, as its amnesiac protagonist uncovers her connection to a secret bookstore and the monstrous forces drawn to it. Roberson's intricate plotting and Ellis's moody, detailed art ground the story in a unique, self-contained mythology that stands out among IDW's creator-driven output of the era.
