The Conjuring’s Michael Chaves and Matthew Roberts Debut Corpse Knight in 2026

Skybound and Image Comics have revealed Corpse Knight by writer/co-creator Michael Chaves, artist/co-creator Matthew Roberts and Rico Renzi. Corpse Knight is a haunting new horror series where family is family, whether they’re alive or undead. The debut issue of this intense horror fantasy series arrives in comic book shops on April 22, 2026

War ravages France, but a young girl named Foy lives in relative peace with her father… until tragedy strikes. As Foy struggles to fend for herself, she’s granted a miracle—her father returns from the dead to protect her. 

Now, they embark on a sacred quest, confronting murderers, wild animals, wandering armies, and black magic plaguing the countryside. As Foy comes face to face with the dark side of miracles and the secrets of the Corpse Knight, she must question if the man by her side has always been a monster…
