From The Press Release

PORTLAND, Ore. 03/29/2024 — The Eisner-winning creative team behind Gideon Falls, Primordial, The Passageway, Ten Thousand Black Feathers, and Tenement—Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino—will take The Bone Orchard Mythos outside the realm of Earthly gravity with the upcoming original graphic novel, Starseed. This harrowing tale of extraterrestrial horror and thrills will hit shelves in October from Image Comics.

Starseed will bring Lemire and Sorrentino’s terrifying supernatural vision beyond our planet to Mars. Here readers will follow seven members of a rescue team in search of their missing colleagues… but the darkness they find instead goes far beyond scientific comprehension.

“We wanted to take the horror of The Bone Orchard Mythos to a whole new setting, and Andrea and I both love sci-fi and cosmic horror,” said Lemire. “This is a critical book in the mythos and readers won’t see the ending coming.”

Sorrentino added: “As an huge fan of the Alien franchise I couldn’t wait to finally work on some horror sci-fi, and Starseed incarnates all that I love about the genre: isolation, atmosphere, and a big dose of fear of the unknown.”

This chilling new story is perfect for fans of horror/science fiction mashups like that of Alien, The Event Horizon, and Jeff Vandermeer’s Annihilation.

The Bone Orchard Mythos: Starseed (ISBN: 9781534378773) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, October 2 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, October 15.

The Bone Orchard Mythos: Starseed will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

The Bone Orchard Mythos is an ambitious expansion of the powerhouse creative team—Lemire and Sorrentino—and spans multiple books and across a variety of different storytelling formats. Each title in The Bone Orchard Mythos tells its own unique, self-contained tale—some as stand-alone hardcover graphic novels, some as miniseries comics, and some as longer format maxiseries comics—but they will all be set within the same world and add to the overall horrors that await within the Bone Orchard mythology. This shared horror universe includes The Passageway, Ten Thousand Black Feathers, Tenement, Starseed, and more to be announced.
