"Hits all the right notes, from nostalgia to pacing to the new, foreboding angle, and the latest brooding protagonist" - Tor.com


"Nails the sci-fi noir tone of the films but doesn’t feel like its retreading familiar ground … likely to hooks fans and have them coming back for more" - ComicBook.com

Designer: Tim Daniel
On Sale: 10/16/2019 

Eons ago, visitors from outer space buried an item of unimaginable power in the primordial swamps that would one day become King Lake-a quaint little basin on the edge of Whisper, USA.

Millions of years later, a comet's radioactive waves awaken the monster slumbering beneath the lake. As the beast feeds on America's sweet, delicious youth, brain-slugs infect the quiet town, causing victims to vomit up their kill-hungry, zombified skeletons.

But for seventeen-year-old Jarrod Parker, none of that stuff matters much. For him, this isn't about the Apocalypse. It's about payback. Nothing-not his friends, not the undead, not even the end of the world-will keep him from vengeance.

Discover the Secrets Hidden Across a World Full of Magic and Monsters in November 2019


​
LOS ANGELES, CA (October 15, 2019) – BOOM! Studios is proud to reveal a first look at FOLKLORDS #1, the premiere issue of an all-new original five-issue series from Eisner Award-nominated writer Matt Kindt (Grass Kings, Black Badge) and acclaimed artist Matt Smith (Hellboy & the BPRD: Long Night at Goloski, Lake of Fire) about a young man whose forbidden quest reveals the shocking truth about his world and turns everything he ever knew upside down, available on November 13, 2019.

In a world of magic and monsters, Ansel is an outsider haunted by visions of well-pressed suits and modern technology. When it comes time for him to declare his Quest on his 18th birthday, Ansel decides to seek out a legend that is only spoken in hushed whispers—the Folklords—hoping they can explain his visions...but looking for the Folklords is expressly forbidden, and going on a rogue quest is punishable by death. What will Ansel risk to find answers to the questions and visions that have set him apart his entire life? ​

“All these larger than life Canadians have never looked so good, so small” says Charlie Chu, EVP of Creative and Business Development for Oni Press.

“We’re excited to bring fans a new immersive Scott Pilgrim experience that captures everything we love about these characters and their story,” said Scott Gaeta, president of Renegade Game Studios. “Designer Erica Bouyouris has created a unique game and we hope gamers will be as eager as we are to bring it to their tables."
