Ongoing Series Returns with Issue #13 in Oversized Forty-Page Special from Devil’s Due Comics<\/p>\n
CHICAGO:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 7\/20\/2018<\/p>\n
This Winter will see the release of\u00a0Mercy Sparx\u00a0issue #13, the long awaited return of the ongoing series, and follow-up to\u00a0the companion miniseries\u00a0Mercy Sparx: Year One. Joining creator Josh Blaylock is new co-writer Pat Shand, co-creator of the latest Devil\u2019s Due Comics hit horror title,\u00a0Little Girl.<\/p>\n
Blaylock and Shand will bring to a close the epic story of Mercy\u2019s final showdown with her mother, Faustia. A plot that was carefully teased and unveiled by Blaylock over the last several years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never let anyone else touch Mercy when it comes to our cannon stories,\u201d said Blaylock, \u201cBut as\u00a0picky as I can be about how we portray her personality and character, Pat totally \u2018gets\u2019 Mercy Sparx.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMercy Sparx is everything I look for in a comic as a reader, so I\u2019m thrilled to join Josh as co-writer. From Mercy\u2019s cast of unique characters to the unique mythology, we\u2019ve got a lot to explore, and a lot of fun comics to create\u201d<\/p>\n
Stay tuned for an announcement on the series artists and specifics on the schedule in weeks to come.<\/p>\n
The series will return through a combination of limited, internationally released exclusive retailer editions, Kickstarters, and standard Diamond release throughout North America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
