Following the releases of Ten Thousand Black Feathers and The Passageway, Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino's shared horror universe known as The Bone Orchard Mythos will continue its eerie expansion this summer with the new 10-issue comic book miniseries Tenement.
Centered on seven residents of a high-rise that harbors all kinds of hidden horrors, Tenement #1 will be released on June 21st from Image Comics, and we have preview pages and exclusive quotes from Jeff and Andrea to give Daily Dead readers an idea of what to expect from the new series that's described as "Dario Argento’s Inferno meets Rosemary’s Baby."
You can check out preview pages from Tenement #1 below (featuring colors by Dave Stewart, lettering and designing by Steve Wands, and editing by Greg Lockard), and here is what Jeff and Andrea had to say about their new comic book series and how it ties into The Bone Orchard Mythos:
Andrea Sorrentino: “Tenement is the longest story yet in the universe of the Bone Orchard Mythos and it's also the one that will delve deeper into the lore shedding the first light on the mysteries surrounding this complex mythology. It's a key story for those who've been intrigued by the Mythos with The Passageway and Ten Thousand Black Feathers and are looking for some answers, but also a perfect tale for those who want to jump into this universe for the first time. It features some of the weirdest things I've ever drawn on a page.”
Jeff Lemire: “Tenement is easily our most ambitious and immersive book since Gideon Falls. It’s also the central spoke of the entire Bone Orchard Mythos. We can't wait to unleash the horror one floor at a time."
