OUTRAGEOUSLY OTHERWORLDLY AND BACK FROM THE GRAVE WITH A SCORE TO SETTLE! Oni Press invites readers into a spectacularly terrifying new vision of the underworld in this extended excerpt from Spirit of the Shadows #1, the arresting new limited series from the phantasmagorical minds of breakout cartoonist Nick Cagnetti and Daniel Ziegler. Arriving in comic shops on January 28th, Spirit of the Shadows #1 features the first full-length artwork by Nick Cagnetti since his extraordinary debut with 2022’s Pink Lemonade. 

Once, Erik Leroux was a mortal musician, selflessly devoted to his music and his true love, Katrina . . . until his sudden death plunged his soul into the carnival-like torments of the Spirit World beyond our own. Now, reborn as a phantom with fleeting memories of his life among the living, and forever cursed to bear the arcane costume his corpse wore to the grave, Erik will claw his way back from the infernal planes to uncover the mysteries of his own life . . . and avenge the dark sins that transformed him into the SPIRIT OF THE SHADOWS!

The artistically dazzling and emotionally gut-wrenching new addition to the canon of creator-owned superheroes rises into comic shops everywhere on January 28th, 2026, featuring covers by Nick Cagnetti, David Lafuente, Karl Kerschl, and Matt Lesniewski . Don’t miss this day-glo hybrid of Jack Kirby’s THE DEMON, Mike Allred’s MADMAN, and Todd McFarlane’s SPAWN — with an eye-catching style and gripping narrative hook that’ll keep you searching the endless underworld for the next page of the story…
