HUNTERS OF SHEYDIM Coming Soon from Golem Press

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

JAN. 20, 2026 (PORTLAND, OR) — For centuries, humanity has unknowingly teetered on the edge of annihilation. Now, the fragile peace has shattered. The Lord of Demons, Asmodeus, has returned—and the only ones standing between him and destruction are two half-human, half-Nephilim Jewish twins trained since childhood to kick demon ass!

Golem Press is thrilled to announce HUNTERS OF SHEYDIM, an epic new 12-issue supernatural saga from writer Jeff Marvin (Cycles End, Grave Soldiers: Crutch Brigade), artist Riley Brown(Dead Acre: Black Badge), colorist Vinicius Townsend (G.I. Joe, Vampirella), and letterers Dezi Sienty (Teen Titans, Deathshroud) and Sinisa Matic (Deathshroud). With editorial direction by Ori Ayalon and historical consultation by Rabbinit Dr. Tamar Marvin, this debut series merges apocalyptic horror, ancient mysticism, and brutal emotional stakes.

Twin sisters Caterina and Lucia de la Vega—raised in Spain, reclaimed by their Jewish heritage—are recruited by Rabbi Eli Eidelman into an underground sect waging a war of containment. In this fight, Gehinnom isn’t a metaphor but a living hellscape where demons are born—and if they break through, Shamayim’s angels won’t just smite them, they’ll burn everything in their path. When the fragile alliance holding the line begins to crumble, the sisters are hurled into a battle spanning modern-day Israel, ancient Babylon, the ruins of Barcelona, and the depths of Gehinnom itself. Alongside rogue angels, broken prophets, and haunted warriors, they’ll face infernal bloodlines, ancestral secrets, and the question of who gets to write the end of the world.

Jeff Marvin spoke of the project:

“Hunters of Sheydim started as a familiar tale of demon hunting, but I wanted to tell it through the lens of Jewish mysticism—a perspective that’s often overlooked. In Christian tradition, demons are usually purely evil, but in Jewish texts, they are layered, complex beings, capable of both terrible deeds and surprising acts of cunning or even kindness. This shapes the heart of the story, because it’s really about choice. Caterina and Lucia are navigating their emerging Jewish identity while carrying memories of a Catholic upbringing, and that tension—feeling like outsiders everywhere—guides how they confront the supernatural and themselves. Working with an extraordinary creative team, we’ve built a universe where history, mythology, and human emotion collide. I hope that audiences are drawn into the adventure, but also begin to see demons, angels, and magic in a way that challenges their assumptions—and illuminates the complexity of choice, faith, and identity.”

“Working with Jeff and Ori was a breeze,” said Riley Brown. “I didn’t know much about Jewish folklore going in, but that became part of the fun—doing my homework, asking questions, and shaping a vision that felt authentic and lived-in. The sisters were a joy to draw, with their opposite personalities shining through in looks, mannerisms, and expressions. Asmodeus was trickier, layered, and unpredictable, so I leaned into subtlety to let the mystery show. Stylistically, I drew from movies, superhero comics, and manga, leaning into a cinematic approach that made the story a blast to bring to life.”
