“With The Devil’s Cut, a majority of the self-contained stories lay the foundation for series to come,” said DSTLRY CCO Chip Mosher in a statement accompanying the announcement. “To be crystal clear, these eight stories found in The Devil’s Cut are not previews, but the first appearances of new worlds from our Founding Creators and Friends.”
The eight stories are
- “Spectregraph” by James Tynion IV, Christian Ward, and Aditya Bidikar
- “Shepherd” by Marc Bernardin, Ariela Kristantina, Lee Loughridge, and Bernardo Brice
- “8 Rules to Make It Out in One Piece” by Elsa Charretier, PK Colinet, Nick Filardi, and Clayton Cowles
- “A Blessed Day” by Mirka Andolfo, Fabio Amelia, Arancia Studio, and Steve Orlando
- “The Stowaway” by Jock
- “Deleted Scene, #2” by Brian Azzarello, Eduardo Risso, and Jared K. Fletcher
- “White Boat” by Scott Snyder, Francesco Francavilla, Andworld Design, and Tyler Jennes
- “What Blighted Flame Burns in Thee?” by Becky Cloonan, Tula Lotay, and Richard Starkings
The print edition of The Devil’s Cut will be available on August 30, 2023, from comics retailers. The digital edition will go on sale the same day and will be available until September 6 (see “Preview: ‘The Devil’s Cut’ One-Shot”). The anthology will have a main cover by Jock, an open-to-order variant by Francesco Francavilla, and incentive variant covers by Becky Cloonan (1:10), Tula Lotay (1:25), Joëlle Jones (1:50), and Mirka Andolfo (1:75).
