The Circle revolves around a boy named Christian, a recent transplant to the sleepy coastal town of Shell Bay. What begins as playful shenanigans with “the weird kids” turns deadly dark as satanic spells unleash a darkness that can only be stopped by the ritualistic death of his “Circle” of friends.

Before the release of issue 2, Action Lab and ComiXology are offering the first issue for $0.99. Their hope is the introductory digital price will drive individuals into stores when the second issue is released. The $0.99 price will run until the end of January.
