Acknowledgments dark horse comicswe can exclusively reveal the publisher and Swedish rock band ghost Teaming up emperor nuna four-issue series created by the lead singer Tobias Fudgewith writers Corinne Bekko (Avatar: Adapt or Die), artist breathe (Batman and Scooby-Doo Mysteries), colorist Thiago Rocha (Kill all immortals) and the engraver jimmy bettencourt (Ghostbusters: Back to Town). The comic, which will premiere on March 5, 2025, will reveal the origins of the protagonist, who is an important figure in the organization’s extensive backstory of the Satanic clergy.
A figure shrouded in mystery, the Emperor’s Sister did not begin as a respected representative of the clergy and overseer of GHOST’s dark conspiracy. The horrific events that occurred in a small New England town endeared her to both love and fear by so many and led her on a winding path of violence and rebellion that is ultimately revealed.
Bechko commented: “As a fan of Ghost, it was a dream come true to work with Tobias to bring his vision of the Sister Imperator story to life. Her history is rich, tragic, cruel, and transcendent. The Dark Horse team has really put together something special here, and I know this art will surprise everyone. I’ve had the privilege of writing a lot of great female characters, from Vampire to Wonder Woman. But I’ve never written a more awesome character than The Emperor’s Nun. It’s been an unparalleled privilege to work on this project, and I can’t wait for the world to see the results!
Puste added: “Working on Sister Imperator has been an incredible journey. Bringing Tobias’ vision to life has been both a challenge and an honor, and such rich documentation adds depth and depth to the story. Atmosphere. The Emperor Sister is such a charming and terrifying character in her own right, and I know fans will love her take on it, and with a great team, a killer script, and the backing of Dark Horse and Ghost, this is truly a dream project. .I can’t wait for fans of the band and the comic to immerse themselves in this dark, atmospheric, and thrilling story!
