Oni Press will release the first of four issues in Estuary: A Ghost Story, a haunted house story, in April. Today, The Beat can reveal an exclusive preview of issue #1, written by Tim Daniel and David “D.B.” Andry, with art by Maan House, colors by Steve Canon, and letters by Taylor Esposito.
Estuary: A Ghost Story #1 introduces readers to a centuries-old Spanish mission on the coast of California. Here’s the synopsis from Oni Press:
Atop a rocky cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean sits the Mission at Arbués Point, a 400-year-old Spanish mission made infamous as one of California’s oldest and most haunted historical sites. But beneath its crumbling, tourist-trap facade, a reclusive nun has spent decades within the Mission’s walls, honing her prayers and practice in pursuit of a secret long-buried beneath the majesty of the chapel, and under the dark waves of the tidal estuary below. When marine archaeologist Maris Cristobal accepts the nun’s offer to begin excavating a fabled shipwreck lying in wait beneath the Mission’s turbulent waters, she’ll soon discover that the sins of past and present are about to wash together into a harrowing surge of a vengeance that can no longer be contained . . .
Check out interior art below, as well as covers by House, Daniel, and Vanesa R. Del Ray.
Estuary: A Ghost Story #1 will be available digitally and at your local comic shop on April 8.
