Mirka Andolfo’s Long-Awaited Follow-Up to Mercy, the upcoming Merciless, Launches this December

Posted on by Leave a comment

Acclaimed creator Mirka Andolfo returns to the coaldust-choked Victorian atmosphere of her international hit Mercy—this time with fan-favorite collaborator and artist Lidia Bolognini—to bring fans an all-new Gothic tale in the upcoming Merciless. This four issue miniseries is set to launch in December from Image Comics.

Fifteen years after having rid itself of the terrible Devil of Woodsburgh, the thriving former mining town has finally begun to let out a long-held breath… That is, until an enigmatic new Lady comes to town.

Rory has finally come of age and is ready to open her factory. But her arrival coincides with the uncanny: a strange new drug called Electric Sumac is coursing through the streets, leaving ordinary men and women unnaturally strong… and dangerously unhinged. Rory, and her companion Joel, are determined to stamp it out… whatever the cost. For they know something the rest of the city does not: the drug’s mysterious origins are anything but earthly.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Bancroft has returned to settle the unfinished business his father left in his wake. As old debts resurface and a web of secrets unravels… will Rory find herself caught in the middle of it all? 

Merciless #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, December 2.

Mirka Andolfo’s Mercy Gets a Seductive Sequel in Merciless

Posted on by

Mirka Andolfo’s Mercy—which stole the hearts of readers early on with its Victorian monster vibe and became one of the top selling series of the year—will live on in a spinoff sequel series titled Merciless. This new miniseries will continue to be written by Andolfo and will introduce the talents of rising star artist Siya Oum. Merciless will launch from Image Comics in late 2021. 

Merciless will be set immediately after the events of Mercy #6. Things are starting to turn around for Rory—financial security, status, a sense of belonging—but if it’s one thing she’s learned over the years it’s that good things don’t last. How could they when someone is ready to bring the “new” Lady Hellaine back to the harsh reality… It will be increasingly difficult for Rory to try to have a normal life. Even if she deserves it. Maybe.

Merciless #1 will be available at comic book shops in late 2021.
