Image Comics will bring together horror and role-playing games in a new series from The Wicked + The Divine co-creator Kieron Gillen and in-demand artist Stephanie Hans (Angela: Queen of Hel). DIE will launch with an oversized first issue on December 5. The issue sports a cover by Hans and a cover by Gillen’s The Wicked + The Divine collaborator Jamie McKelvie.

DIE follows a group of adult friends who return to the unearthly horror they unleashed as teenagers, when they vanished for two years after starting a role-playing game.

“Role-playing games are part of the cultural conversation in a way they haven't been since the 1980s,” said Gillen told The Hollywood Reporter. “I suspect DIE is going to sit a little apart from most of it, especially the comics. Most of the D&D comics either are straight satires or leaning into the fun and games of those memories. We're a lot bleaker.”
