Ghost to release “dark, atmospheric and thrilling” comic book series, co-written by Tobias Forge

If announcing an absolutely giant world tour for next year wasn’t already enough, Ghost have just confirmed details of a brand-new comic book series.

Co-written by frontman Tobias Forge, the first piece of this tell-all Sister Imperator tale will arrive on March 5, 2025 via Dark Horse Comics. The four-issue story was also written with Corinna Bechko, while artist Puste, colourist Thiago Rocha and Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt have had a hand in bringing it all to life.

“As a fan of Ghost, working with Tobias to bring his vision of Sister Imperator’s story to life was a dream come true,” says Corinna (via Dark Horse). “Her history is rich, tragic and brutal in ways that transcend what people might think they know about her character. The team at Dark Horse has really put together something special here, and I know the art is going to blow everyone’s mind. I’ve had the honour of writing a lot of amazing women, from Vampirella to Wonder Woman, but I’ve never written a character more kickass than Sister Imperator. Working on this project has been an unparalleled privilege and I can’t wait for the world to see the result!”

“Working on Sister Imperator has been an incredible journey,” continues Puste. “Bringing Tobias’s vision to life has been both a challenge and an honour, with so much rich documentation that adds depth and atmosphere to the story. Sister Imperator herself is such a fascinating and terrifying character, and I know fans are going to love her. With the support of an amazing team, a killer script and the backing of Dark Horse and Ghost, this has truly been a dream project. I can’t wait for fans of the band and comics alike to dive into this dark, atmospheric, and thrilling story!”
