Moonspawn and the Defenders of the Dark #1: "Across the bleeding edges of the multiverse, no name strikes fear into the monstrous heart like Rip Moonspawn. Banshees. Werewolves. Bone wyrms. Blight drakes. If it had fangs or fed on fear, Rip hunted it, bagged it, and moved on. But time is a curse even legends can’t outrun. The years have gnawed at his mind like the beasts he once caged. And now, Rip has vanished into the Terrorscape, a nightmare dimension stitched together from the darkest corners of reality to chase one final monster.

The problem is… he went alone.

Now, his estranged daughter Zaria Moonspawn must gather the Defenders of the Dark — a ragtag crew of cursed heroes and haunted killers — to plunge headfirst into a realm of living horror, twisted gods, and soul-eating shadows.

Because if the Terrorscape doesn’t kill Rip… the thing he’s hunting will. Moonspawn and the Defenders of the Dark #1 is the first in a four issue mini-series. This debut issue is a 22-page, full-color comic book. For the process nerds, it's printed with 80# satin interior pages with a heavier, 100# uncoated cover stock.

Moonspawn is perfect for fans of:

  • Movies like HellboyBlade, and The Thing
  • Television shows like CastlevaniaThe Witcher, and Doom Patrol
  • Books and comics like Clive Barker's Books of Blood, The Immortal Hulk, and Wytches"
