JOE LEDGER Gets First Graphic Novel

EDITOR'S NOTE:  This is the very first graphic novel from the new comics division of Crystal Lake. I'm a fan of the Joe Ledger novels, so I  was happy to back this.

Joe Ledger Graphic Novel! New York Times Bestselling author Jonathan Maberry delivers an action-packed graphic novel featuring Joe Ledger and Violin from his popular series of techno-thrillers. In their first comic book adventure, Mr. Church sends Ledger and Violin on a a case involving a bizarre kind of human trafficking. People—mostly young and innocent—are being found dead all across the U.S. Drained of blood but also missing key internal organs—brains and hearts. Their bodies are marked with strange symbols from ancient religions and the deaths have all the earmarks of some deadly kind of human sacrifice. But there is much more to it than that. Some of the sacrificed dead have since vanished from morgues and funeral homes. Staff at those places are found torn to pieces…and their organs are missing, too. Ledger and Violin have to go deep into the darkness to find out what’s happening and who is behind this…and every step of the way ratchets up the danger and the terror. As they peel back layers of the mystery, they encounter a bizarre kind of super soldier—human combat soldiers (private military contractors) whose bodies have been taken over by demons raised through human sacrifice. These demons feed on human hearts, taking sustenance from the souls of the victims. They feed on brains to take knowledge and personality traits. This allows them to blend into society without being easily detected. Back Today on Backerkit! All the best, Team Crystal Lake
