The press release follows:
Media Release -- Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning comic book and graphic novel publisher has set the curtain call for LAMENTATION #2 – arriving in comic shops everywhere on June 7, 2023!
Boasting 48 pages of Giallo-inspired terror, the second, double-sized installment of Oni's newest horror masterwork from veteran storyteller Cullen Bunn (THE SIXTH GUN, Harrow County, Basilisk) and artist Arjuna Susini (MADE MEN) dives deep into the claustrophobic confines of the Requiem Theatre as the trapped cast of a cursed stage-play find themselves at the mercy of masked killer!
Trapped within the Requiem Theater, lead actress Jennifer fights for her life and freedom as threats encroach from the worlds outside and within the play. When the mysterious Prince Razide selects her as his bride, new dangers emerge, and she still doesn't know who—or what—lies beneath the prince's mask. And, soon, Razide himself will take center stage to cross the threshold into the unholy darkness that lies just beyond…
Featuring covers by Yanick Paquette (Swamp Thing, Wonder Woman: Earth-Two) and John Bivens (Dark Engine, Old Wounds), don't miss the next essential installment from horror master Cullen Bunn and rising star Arjuna Susini when LAMENTATION #2 stalks into comic shops on June 7, 2023!
