DSTLRY has revealed the polybagged DSTLRY Red Label edition of The Missionary #1, an expanded version of the previously announced heretical horror comic from the creative duo of writer Ryan Stegman and artist Jason Howard. The Missionary #1 will hit shelves on September 25, 2024 in both standard editions (Covers A-G) with Cover H being the DSTLRY Red Label edition, featuring a new colorway of Jason Howard’s A cover colored by Tamra Bonvillain. 

The polybagged DSTLRY Red Label edition elevates The Missionary #1 to new depraved heights, containing NSFW content and added ultraviolence. Notably, this edition includes more depravity and gore, ending on a shocking double-page spread that expands on the regular edition’s last single splash page, revealing the “off camera” carnage previously left to the imagination.

Also revealed today, The Missionary #1 adds a hilariously iconic, fourth-wall-breaking Skottie Young wrap-around cover (Cover F) and a Sketch Cover (Cover G). Covers A-G, including the Skottie Young, and the Sketch Cover are open order and priced at $8.99, while the open order polybagged The Missionary #1 DSTLRY Red Label edition Cover H has a suggested retail price of $9.99.

The Missionary follows Bryce Hunter, a devoutly religious man whose world shatters when he discovers his wife in a scandalous affair with an Elder from his church. This revelation leads Bryce into the grasp of a demonic entity named Uvydus. Rather than rejecting the possession, Bryce embraces it, eager to learn the ways of “bad,” while Uvydus seeks to temper its evil nature. Together, the pair must navigate a world threatened by demons escaping Hell, poised to reshape Earth into their new kingdom.

The Missionary #1 will be available at local comic shops and digitally via www.dstlry.co on September 25, 2024. Fans can pre-order the DSTLRY Red Label edition (Cover H), and all the other cover variants via their comic shops through August 19th, 2024.
