Wes Craig, co-creator of Deadly Class, has just announced a new Image Comics horror series with artist Toby Cypress (Omega Men) – The Gravediggers Union. This series, set to launch November 2017, is overflowing with steroid zombies, monster gods, swamp vampires, ghost storms, and even space monkeys.

“With The Gravediggers Union, I tried to create an environmental horror story that mixes EC Comics, H.P. Lovecraft’s horror, and a lot of dark humour. I’m so proud of what we’re creating, and what Toby, Niko, and Jared are doing together is some of the most original looking comics I’ve ever seen,” shared Craig.

“The Gravediggers Union is a dream project. Wes is writing and designing a fun world with mystery and humor, and I’m having a great time drawing it. I think you will see everybody involved is bringing their top effort to the title because the Gravediggers are a group that the world seems to need today. We are updating the horror genre while keeping its best aesthetics. A Ghostbusters for a hopeless age of digital social graveyards, bloodsucking brand awareness, trolling zombie followers, and creeping death landfills,” added Cypress.

The Gravediggers Union follows Cole, Ortiz, and Haley, members of a brotherhood who work to make sure the dead stay buried. The supernatural world is on the fritz, and it’s all thanks to a powerful cult called The Black Temple. This cult wants to bring an end to mankind with the use of ancient dark gods. At the heart of their plan is Morgan, apocalypse prophet and Cole’s estranged daughter. Can the Gravediggers save Cole’s daughter and mankind?

The Gravediggers Union #1 (Diamond Code SEP170600) will be available on November 1. The final order cutoff from retailers is October 9.
