Dark Horse Comics has announced the third and final miniseries in their American Gods adaptation. American Gods: The Moment Of The Storm, will complete the comic adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel. As with the two previous miniseries, The Moment Of The Storm is written, from Gaiman’s story, by P. Craig Russell, with art by Russell and additional art and colors by Scott Hampton. The series sports main covers by Glenn Fabry and Adam Brown, with variant covers by David Mack.

Previous American Gods miniseries have run for nine issues, so it’s likely The Moment Of The Storm will do the same. The first mini, simply titled American Gods and collected as American Gods: Shadows, ran from March to November 2017; the second series, subtitled My Ainsel, released in single issues from March to December 2018.

The release of the new miniseries will come on the heels of the return of the American Gods TV series. The Starz show’s second season is set to debut on March 10th, and the first issue of The Moment Of The Storm releases the following month.

Check out Glenn Fabry and Adam Brown’s cover for the first issue, as well as the full press release from Dark Horse about the new title, below. American Gods: The Moment Of the Storm is due in stores on April 17th.
