Publisher Description.   Skybound and Image Comics has announced the new limited series, Corpse Knight by writer/co-creator Michael Chaves (The Conjuring franchise), artist/co-creator Matthew Roberts (Universal Monsters: Creature from The Black Lagoon Lives!) and Rico Renzi (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse).  Corpse Knight is a haunting new horror series where family is family, whether they’re alive or undead.  The debut issue of this intense horror fantasy series arrives in comic book shops on April 22, 2026.

War ravages France, but a young girl named Foy lives in relative peace with her father… until tragedy strikes.  As Foy struggles to fend for herself, she’s granted a miracle – her father returns from the dead to protect her.

Now, they embark on a sacred quest, confronting murderers, wild animals, wandering armies, and black magic plaguing the countryside.  As Foy comes face to face with the dark side of miracles and the secrets of the Corpse Knight, she must question if the man by her side has always been a monster…
