SERIES PREMIERE!
All is dark. But all is not lost…
Rose isn’t special. She works in the Factory just like everyone else—a dark, sprawling monolithic structure that runs along the coast and cuts the world in two. All that’s left now are desolate settlements that exist in its shadow, made up of submerged villages, derelict woods, and deadly swamps. No one knows what’s left of the world on the other side…
But when Rose’s young daughter Ava is violently taken from their shanty town home a year before she is meant to join the work force, Rose will come face-to-face with the surreal, harrowing forces outside the Factory’s walls—including a terrifying figure called the Scarecrow Queen, who has an offer: one last chance to save her daughter, in exchange for her soul.
Part post-apocalyptic neo-Western, part southern gothic, part dark fantasy, CROWBOUND spins a heart-wrenching and violent story about mortality, holding onto hope in the darkest of worlds and the bonds that make us human. Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale meets Cormac McCarthy’s The Road with echoes of Kill Bill and Pan’s Labyrinth when a noncompliant mother makes a dark pact with an ancient, violent Scarecrow Queen to stop a totalitarian government from taking her daughter.
Patrick Horvath joins forces with James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children), Tony Fleecs (Stray Cats), Che Grayson (Absolute Catwoman), Dave Wachter (Uncanny Valley), Jared Cullum (Usagi Yojimbo: Kaito 84’), Tyler Boss (What’s the Furthest Place From Here), and Matt Emmons (The Council of Frogs) for an original one-shot set in the world of Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees!

Gather around the campfire on Halloween night with some of the best creators working today and listen as the citizens of Woodbrook spill the beans on Samantha Strong’s most terrifying deeds.
As Beta Ray Bill battles Hela at the edge of space, he considers his role as the heir of Thor’s story… …little dreaming that the story continues with Sigurd Jarlson…or that the Death Goddess has plans for the Mortal Thor.
