Thanks to BOOM! Studios, we're excited to share with Daily Dead readers the first look at BRIAR #5, the return of the dark retelling of Sleeping Beauty from Eisner Award-nominated writer, producer, and director Christopher Cantwell, artist Alex Lins (Hellcat, Crypt of Shadows), colorist Luis NCT with Mar Silvestre, and letterer AndWorld Design.

"In the wake of slaying Deadcrawl, Grendrid’s deadly henchman, Briar Rose and her companions have become quite the band of bounty hunters with a reputation for murder and mayhem that belies their chivalrous intentions. But overzealous local authorities are not the only foes Briar will face, as Spider hatches a plan that will get them closer than ever to Briar’s malevolent fairy godmother–to the castle of Grendrid herself!"

BRIAR #5 features main cover art by series artist Alex Lins, with variant covers from Jenny Frison, Fábio Moon, and a limited BOOM! Studios Direct Reserve exclusive variant by Jenny Frison.

BRIAR #5 will be available starting on May 15th and can be pre-ordered now at your local comic shop. Digital copies can be purchased on Kindle, iBooks, and Google Play.
