Acclaimed Creators Steve Niles and Scott Hampton Collaborate
on a Pulse-Pounding Journey into the Deepest of Secrets
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (May 21, 2024) – This summer, globe-trotting action and macabre mystery aren’t just on the silver screen—comics creators Steve Niles and Scott Hampton join forces with Storm King Comics for THE GOD LIST, a thrilling blend of suspense and adventure that takes all the elements of a big-screen blockbuster and offers them up as a compelling original graphic novel.
THE GOD LIST will be available July 17, 2024, through direct sales, including at www.StormKingComics.com, and at comic shops; it debuts at retail booksellers on July 30. THE GOD LIST is written by Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, The October Faction, The Killing Hole) and writer/artist Scott Hampton (The Upturned Stone, Spookhouse, Simon Dark), along with colorist Jennifer Lange (American Gods).
Beginning in a run-down second-hand bookshop in a dreary corner of New York City, THE GOD LIST quickly takes on epic dimensions, as a book dealer named William comes into possession of a mysterious volume that is also sought by an otherworldly organization hellbent on destroying the contents of the book. Together with a mysterious woman named Lydia, William travels to Europe to find the world’s greatest experts on the book … only to discover that the pursuers will stop at nothing, including the most grisly and supernatural forms of violence, to get their hands on the pages.
If whirlwind visits to Italy and Germany are exotic yet familiar locales, THE GOD LIST has much more in store for William, Lydia and readers as it journeys to the most unexpected final destination for a face-to-face confrontation unlike any other.
“With The God List, Steve and Scott have created a fantastic piece of escapism, the kind of wholly original, exciting and thought-provoking story audiences used to expect to see at the movies every summer,” said Storm King Comics founder and editor Sandy King. “Filled with chases through shadowy streets, a fascinating mystery, and a rich mythology of its own that pays off in an extraordinary way, it’s truly a wild ride.”
Both THE GOD LIST and THE KILLING HOLE will be featured at the Storm King Comics booth at San Diego Comic-Con, where Sandy King will be joined by a host of comics creators.
