From the co-creator of the Eisner Award-winning, bestselling POWERS comes this brand-new anthropomorphic supernatural series that's Hellboy meets Redwall. Loosely based on real events in 12th century England during what was known as The Anarchy. A time where the country was beset with plague, civil war, and demons. William of Newbury is a neurotic monk, fearful of the earthly world, but confident and unwavering in the face of true evil. He fights the dead to restore peace, but his brother is intent on stopping him, fearing for his soul. Newbury is dark, yet quaint, deadly yet cute. Follow him as he negotiates with thieves, evades his brother and the church, and battles the undead and evil spirits. This is a tale fit for lovers of history and supernatural folklore of all ages.

Reviews

If you like supernatural medieval adventures (carried out by anthropomorphic animals), than this is the book for you! Think Hellboy mixed with the Disney animated Robin Hood. I’ve always been a fan of Oeming’s art, but this book takes the cake! Not sure if it’s the stylized yet realistic animal characters, or the heavy lines and shadows adding to the spooky nature of the books, but the art fits the story perfectly. William of Newbury follows a cowardly priest as he travels the land exorcizing demons and putting spirits to rest. With the help of a thief to protect his physical body, William fights spirits with the courage of a knight, only to be put off by falling in the dirt and the possibility of being eaten by an owl. A charming tale with wonderful art, highly recommended for anyone wanting a fun new mini-series to read
