This summer, writer Steve Niles and writer-illustrator Scott Hamptom are joining forces with Storm King Comics to share the secrets of “The God List,” a brand-new original graphic novel that combines the suspense of an action-thriller with grisly, supernatural violence.
Available on July 17, 2024, “The God List” begins in a run-down second-hand bookshop in a dreary corner of New York City and then quickly takes on epic dimensions as a book dealer named William comes into possession of a mysterious volume that is also sought by an otherworldly organization hellbent on destroying the contents of the book. Together with a mysterious woman named Lydia, William travels to Europe to find the world’s greatest experts on the book … only to discover that the pursuers will stop at nothing, including the most grisly and supernatural forms of violence, to get their hands on the pages.
If whirlwind visits to Italy and Germany are exotic yet familiar locales, “The God List” has much more in store for William, Lydia, and readers as it journeys to the most unexpected final destination for a face-to-face confrontation unlike any other.
“With ‘The God List,’ Steve and Scott have created a fantastic piece of escapism, the kind of wholly original, exciting and thought-provoking story audiences used to expect to see at the movies every summer,” said Storm King Comics founder and editor Sandy King. “Filled with chases through shadowy streets, a fascinating mystery, and a rich mythology of its own that pays off in an extraordinary way, it’s truly a wild ride.”
Check out a brief excerpt from the book below:
“The God List” is written by Steve Niles (“30 Days of Night”) and writer/artist Scott Hampton (“The Upturned Stone”), along with colorist Jennifer Lange (“American Gods”).
Both “The God List” and “The Killing Hole” will be featured at the Storm King Comics booth at San Diego Comic-Con, where a host of comics creators will join Sandy King.
