“Sister Imperator” #1

“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 Bechko. “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!”
