Lemire And Sorrentino’s ‘The Passageway’ First Look

by Olly MacNamee

Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino open up their kick off their shared horror universe The Bone Orchard Mythos this June with chilling original graphic novel, The Passageway. And today we get a first look courtesy of Image Comics.

“In The Passageway, readers meet a geologist who is sent to a remote lighthouse to investigate strange phenomena, he finds a seemingly endless pit in the rocks. What lurks within—and how will he escape its pull?”

Lemire spoke with IGN earlier today:

“The Passageway may be the most complete collaboration between Andrea and I yet. It not only tells a complete, dark and mysterious story, it also opens the doors to the larger universe of The Bone Orchard Mythos. We’re setting out to make smart, evocative and emotional horror stories that take readers to places they never could have imagined.”

Sorrentino added:

“The Passageway also coincidentally comes with a title that has both a meaning in the story itself (as our unfortunate John will find out) and acts as a gate for the readers to this brand-new, exciting horror universe. Jeff an I have carefully built a complex mythology and lore for this new world for months now and I can’t wait for all this world-building to slowly unfold before the reader’s eyes in the coming years. It will be huge.”

The Passageway will be available on Wednesday, June 15th and in bookstores on Wednesday, June 21st.
