Starting next year, Ghost fans won’t just be following the band’s new episodes on YouTube - they’ll also have the chance to dive into their very own comics. The band has announced a comic book series co-written by vocalist Tobias Forge. The announcement reads:
"We wish to inform you Sister Imperator’s story is ready to be told. Discover the truth behind one of the most powerful figures in the Ghost mythos."
Sister Imperator In Full Color: More Badass Than Wonder Woman
The series will be published by Dark Horse Comics and released in four issues. In addition to Tobias Forge, the story was penned by Corinna Bechko, while artist Puste and colourist Thiago Rocha brought the characters to life.
Corinna Bechko of Dark Horse Comics poured her heart into the project, saying:
“As a fan of Ghost, working with Tobias to bring his vision of Sister Imperator’s story to life was a dream come true. 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!”
Artist Puste shared further insights into the creative process:
“Working on Sister Imperator has been an incredible journey. 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!”
The first part of the series will hit comic book stores on March 5, 2025. The band has recommended this link to find local comic shops: https://www.comicshoplocator.com/. Be sure to mark your calendar - this is a must-read for next year!
