Vault has announced Athanasia, a new original graphic novel written by New York Times bestselling author and horror master Daniel Kraus, drawn by modern master artist Dani, colored by Brad Simpson, lettered by Jim Campbell, and designed by Tim Daniel.  

Get ready for the most disturbing superhero story ever told. Forrest Molson is going nowhere. One year out of high school—and one year into sobriety—she’s working with her father as assistant groundskeeper at Athanasia Cemetery, the final resting place of fallen members of the Dynamic Guild, Venture City’s resident superheroes. At her lowest point, Forrest discovers Athanasia’s darkest secret. At night, the cemetery soil bleeds a substance created from the ooze of rotting superheroes. This ooze becomes Forrest’s new drug—and she’s intent on using the unpredictable powers it bestows to be judge, jury, and executioner of Venture City’s evil citizens. But, as she loses her mind to her new addiction, she inches closer to becoming the most evil of all. ATHANASIA is a superhero story seen through the darkest lens.

Athanasia will be published as a two hundred and fifty six page deluxe graphic novel, and can be found in comic and book stores everywhere this October. An early unlettered preview can be viewed below.
