BOOM! Studios will launch a new horror series by writer Simon Spurrier and artist Charlie Adlard in October. Damn Them All stars occultist-for-hire Ellie “Bloody El” Hawthorne, who is faced with the toughest job of her career when the death of her uncle, himself a magician and occult detective, unleashes 72 demons into the world. Ellie has to track each of them down and dispatch them to the nether world once more.
Spurrier is an Eisner-nominated writer who has worked on X-Men, Star Wars, Hellblazer, and Suicide Squad, as well as creator-owned projects such as Coda and Six-Gun Gorilla. Adlard was the artist for The Walking Dead for most of its run. The creative team for Damn Them All also includes colorist Sofie Dodgson (Bitter Root), and letterer Jim Campbell (All-New Firefly).
Adlard is the cover artist for the main cover of Damn Them All #1, and variant cover artists will include DANI, Christian Ward, and Sean Phillips.
“Damn Them All is the right project at the right time,” Spurrier said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “A series mixing crime and occultism, it’s the perfect fusion of Charlie’s peerless storytelling and my own ghastly preoccupations. It’s hard boiled, it’s clever, it’s bleakly funny, but above all it’s angry to its core. Angry at the world, at the injustice, at the £$%#s who run the show, and ultimately at the creator responsible for this utterly imperfect creation. This is a book about demons, in which—spoilers—the demons aren’t the bad guys.”
