The Missionary

Writer Ryan Stegman (VENOM, SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN, X-MEN, VANISH) and artist Jason Howard (BATMAN, TREES, BIG GIRLS, THE ASTOUNDING WOLF-MAN) team up to create THE MISSIONARY, a horror comic for the ages.

Bryce Hunter is a devoutly religious man whose faith is shattered when he catches his wife being...Intimate with an Elder from his church. This harrowing event sends Bryce spiralling into the hands of a demonic entity named Uvydus.

Instead of rejecting possession, Bryce ACCEPTS Uvydus. Bryce wants to learn to be "bad" and Uvydus wants to be "less than completely evil." But before Bryce can use this new partnership to finally live a little, the world's greatest Exorcist sees Bryce as his greatest challenge. But that's not even the worst of it as a murderous group of demons breaks free from Hell and threatens to re-shape earth into a kingdom over which they rule!

The combination of Bryce and Uvydus allows Bryce to manifest demonic powers to fight both the EVIL and GOOD forces who want him destroyed. The fate of eternity hangs in the balance as Bryce and Uvydus must fight to not just survive but reconcile their opposite natures and become THE MISSIONARY.

An action-packed story featuring demons, gun battles, and a blasphemous friendship that will drag you straight to hell.
