Mercy Thompson: Homecoming

Set in the urban fantasy world of Patricia Briggs’s bestselling novels, this 2009 one-shot comic from Random House introduces the coyote shapeshifter Mercy Thompson during her early days as a VW mechanic in the Tri-Cities of Washington. Written by Briggs and David Lawrence, with art by Amelia Woo and Francis Tsai, the issue bridges the gap between Mercy’s past and her first novel, offering fans a visual entry point into her life among werewolves, fae, and vampires. It’s a compact, character-driven prequel that brings the series’ grounded, first-person voice to the comic page.
