IT DEMANDS SACRIFICE #3 (OF 4)

THE SACRIFICE HAS BEGUN! Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Philip Gelatt (LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS), acclaimed filmmaker David Yarovesky (BRIGHTBURN), visionary artist Adam Pollina (X-FORCE), and Eisner Award-nominated colorist Dean White (CONAN THE BARBARIAN) unleash a nightmarish hell on Earth in the penultimate chapter to the comic book event of the year. A portal to the other side has been opened, and a new age of darkness is about to begin—christened in the blood of baby goat Bronson’s own mother. But the maniacal cult master Magus isn’t finished with his kidnapped goats yet. He needs one more sacrifice to complete his ritual and summon the ancient demon Asmodeus into our world…and Bronson is next on the chopping block. Surrounded by the writhing bodies of drug-crazed cultists, Bronson has only one way out: through the gates of Hell! But can the littlest goat unlock the hero within to save his family—and the world?
