Jay Baruchel, Van Jensen, Alessandro Micelli, and Taylor Esposito’s Tear Us Apart gets collected in May

Set to arrive in Spring 2024, Dark Horse Books will present the Tear Us Apart series collected in one paperback volume. The exciting new action-adventure series is written by renowned actor and director Jay Baruchel and acclaimed comic creator Van Jensen, illustrated by Alessandro Micelli, and letters by Taylor Esposito.

In a world of blood and cruelty, two teenagers find humanity in each other.

Deep in the Canadian wilderness, a vicious cult, dedicated to an ideology of pain, trains children to become deadly assassins. In the midst of this world of cruelty, two teenagers break the cardinal rule—by falling in love. The only thing standing between them and happily ever after is an army of murderers with a taste for blood.

Tear Us Apart shows just what lengths the human spirit will go to endure.

The Tear Us Apart paperback volume, which measures at 6.625 10.1875” and contains 144 pages, will be available in bookstores May 7, 2024 and in comic shops May 8, 2024. It is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, TFAW and at your local comic shop and bookstore and will retail for $19.99.
