Actor Thomas Jane is bringing his horror comic book series The Lycan to comiXology Originals. Jane is the co-founder, along with Courtney Lauren Penn, of Renegade Entertainment.

With The Lycan, Thomas Jane takes on the new role of editor. He’s assembled an incredible group of talent. The Lycan is based on a story by screenwriter David James Kelly and Jane, with a script by writer Mike Carey, art by artist Diego Yapur, coloring by D.C. Alonso, and lettering by AndWorld Design. The 6-issue series is the first from Renegade Entertainment and will be released monthly from Amazon’s comiXology Originals exclusive digital content line with covers by acclaimed artist Tim Bradstreet.

The story takes place in 1777. After a successful expedition in Africa, a hardened band of international big game hunters set out to return home with their bounty when their voyage takes a turn and the men are shipwrecked off a small British island.

Under the tutelage of Absalom Coffin, the men make a deal with Lord Ludgate, ruler of the island. In exchange for fresh supplies and the repair of their good ship The Calydonian, the men are assigned a task they are particularly well suited for: find the Berserking Beasts that have been eating his subjects, including a group of young Benedictine Nuns, and destroy them. But the men encounter more sinister and dangerous beasts than anyone expected.
