November 22, 2024

Together with Tobias Forge, founder and mastermind of global theatrical rock phenomenon GHOST, Dark Horse Comics presents "Sister Imperator", a comic miniseries that pulls back the curtain of mystery on an influential figure from official GHOST lore. Writer Corinna Bechko ("Avatar: Adapt Or Die") joins Forge in writing, along with artist Puste ("The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries"),colorist Thiago Rocha ("Kill All Immortals") and Comicraft's Jimmy Betancourt ("Ghostbusters: Back In Town"),to tell the hidden history of the woman who became the force behind GHOST. Featuring cover art by Mikael Eriksson, this four-part miniseries will begin in March 2025.

"As a fan of GHOST, working with Tobias to bring his vision of Sister Imperator's story to life was a dream come true," says Bechko. "Her history is rich, tragic, and brutal in ways that transcend what people might think they know about her character. The team at Dark Horse has really put together something special here, and I know the art is going to blow everyone's mind. I've had the honor of writing a lot of amazing women, from Vampirella to Wonder Woman, but I've never written a character more kickass than Sister Imperator. Working on this project has been an unparalleled privilege and I can't wait for the world to see the result!"

"Working on 'Sister Imperator' has been an incredible journey," agrees Puste. "Bringing Tobias's vision to life has been both a challenge and an honor, with so much rich documentation that adds depth and atmosphere to the story. Sister Imperator herself is such a fascinating and terrifying character, and I know fans are going to love her. With the support of an amazing team, a killer script, and the backing of Dark Horse and GHOST, this has truly been a dream project. I can't wait for fans of the band and comics alike to dive into this dark, atmospheric, and thrilling story!"
