BOOM! Studios has announced When I Lay My Vengeance Upon Thee , an exorcist thriller by writer Gus Moreno (This Thing Between Us ) and artist Jakub Rebelka (Judas ). Debuting January 1, 2025, the book follows a disgraced priest, who’s reassigned to study under an exorcist in South America, as he untangles a series of possessions among his new flock.
Father Barrera is a disgraced priest, haunted by his part in the tragic death of an innocent child. As penance, he is exiled to the remote South American town of Puerto Cristina to apprentice under the enigmatic Father Stygian, the preeminent, if not controversial, exorcist. It is a joyless assignment. Exorcists are normally trained in the Vatican, but Stygian has his own way of handling demons… methods that predate even the Church. And unfortunately for Barrera, Stygian’s last apprentice committed suicide not too long ago.
As Barrera seeks to unlock the mysteries of Stygian’s strange practices, he finds himself amidst an island rife with the forces of evil… What do these constant streams of possessions mean? And how are they connected to a comatose hospital patient, one who’s been in that condition for half a century without aging a single day…
