Rex Mundi #1
ARVID NELSON (W), JUAN FERREYRA (A), and J. H. WILLIAMS III (Cover)
A quest for the Holy Grail or a murder mystery? This bold, critically acclaimed series joins the Dark Horse horror line! In a Europe where the Catholic Church dominates and sorcery determines political power, Master Physician Julien Saunière must infiltrate a mysterious cult with a thousand-year- old secret that calls into question the root of all power in Europe, as well as the origins of Christianity itself! In this issue, the Duke of Lorraine’s plans have come to fruition—he’s pushed Europe into war, and the French monarchy is in tatters. Lorraine will try to seize the crown by force, but will he survive the coup? Meanwhile, Julien, locked in the dungeon of the Holy Inquisition, faces death and torture. Featuring a cover by J. H. Williams III, artist of Desolation Jones, Seven Soldiers of Victory, and Promethea! FC, 32pg.
