The first installment in The Bone Orchard Mythos—a new shared horror universe from Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino—the graphic novel The Passageway will be released in hardcover on June 15th via Image Comics, and we have a look at preview pages accompanied by exclusive comments from Jeff and Andrea!

Below, you can encounter an eerie lighthouse in our preview pages from The Passageway, and Jeff and Andrea were kind enough to offer their insights into what readers can expect from their new graphic novel:

Jeff Lemire: “The Passageway, and what it sets into motion with this brand new horror universe, has been a real labour of love for Andrea and I, the culmination of all our previous work and collaboration. This book stands alone, but also opens dark gateways to The Bone Orchard Mythos Universe. We can’t wait for readers to step through with us!"

Andrea Sorrentino: “Yes, this is just the first installment of something huge Jeff and I plan to expand book after book in coming years. As the title says, The Passageway refers to both the endless pit our unfortunate John Reed will investigate upon in the tale, but also the fact that the book itself will be the gateway for readers to this new horror universe we're creating.’”

To pre-order The Passageway, visit Amazon or place an order with your local comic book shop!
