IT DEMANDS SACRIFICE #2 (OF 4)

Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Philip Gelatt (LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS), acclaimed filmmaker David Yarovesky (BRIGHTBURN), and visionary artist Adam Pollina (X-FORCE) shock the senses in the next bloody chapter of their terrifying new horror comic book event. Kidnapped by a gang of drugged-out hippie murder cultists, baby goat Bronson is left alone desperately searching for what's left of his family. Trapped inside a nightmarish house of horrors, all he can find are Satanic revelers lost in a depraved frenzy of drugs, blood, sex, and violence. But this isn’t just a party. Tonight's the night, Magus, the cult's self-proclaimed Dark Prince, brings about the end of the world. All he needs is a blood sacrifice to summon his master, the ancient demon Asmodeus into our realm... And the ritual calls for goats.
