Sons of the Devil Demands Followers

Having ties to a cult is never easy. You're either slavishly devoted to it, willing to sacrifice everything else to remain part of it. Or you're leading it, in which case there are grand expectations heaved upon you to continue to lead and be righteous. Some people don't have a choice that they're tied to a cult, as in Sons of the Devil from Image Comics, written by Brian Buccellato and illustrated by Toni Infante.

Sons of the Devil is a dark look at a blue collar 25-year-old orphan who learns he is the son of a cult leader. It’s a grounded take on cults that balances the real world with the supernatural. It’s gritty, character-driven, and tonally lays somewhere between Southern Bastards and Nailbiter.

Sons of the Devil #1 hits stores on May 27. Cover A (Infante) can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAR150481. Cover B (Francis Manapul) can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAR150482. Cover C (Paolo Rivera) can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code MAR150483.

SONS OF THE DEVIL is a dark look at a blue collar 25-year-old orphan who learns he is the son of a cult leader.
