Ghost has quite the bit of lore behind the music that they play. That lore now extends to a new comic series that sheds light on the hidden past of an enigmatic figure, Sister Imperator. Together with Tobias Forge, Dark Horse Comics presents Sister Imperator, a comic miniseries that pulls back the curtain of mystery on the character. Forge is writing the comic alongside writer Corinna Bechko, along with artist Puste, colorist Thiago Rocha, and Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt. The four-part miniseries will begin in March 2025.
Here’s what Corinna Bechko had to say about the collaboration with Tobias Forge and Ghost.
“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 honor 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!”
Here’s what Puste had to say about the new miniseries.
“Working on Sister Imperator has been an incredible journey, Bringing Tobias’s vision to life has been both a challenge and an honor, 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!”
