AHOY Comics Announces Werewolf/Detective Drama ‘Black Myth: The Key To His Heart’
by Olly MacNamee
Detective Janie Jones “Strummer” Mercado is about to return to comics with the announcement of Black Myth: The Key To His Heart from AHOY Comics, writer Eric Palicki and artist Wendell Cavalcant.
“It’s back—the “moody tale that smartly blends familiar supernatural elements with the trappings of classic pulpy crime stories” (Comics Beat). In this new case, werewolf private eye Janie “Strummer” Mercado tries to prevent a young girl from becoming a monster, with the aid of her suave djinn assistant Ben Si’lat. But will Strummer gain an intern instead? And why is an old enemy sending mysterious packages to her house?”
Here’s what Palicki said of this Black Myth sequel series:
“I’m delighted to bring readers back to the world of Black’s Myth, where our second volume finds Strummer Mercado adjusting to a new status quo, finally comfortable in her own skin and surrounded by people who know and understand her. Everything is going great for Strummer, and I’m sure it’ll stay that way. Happy endings are a hallmark of noir fiction, right? And there’s still the matter of the title’s namesake, Strummer’s former client Rainsford Black. I’m sure whatever he’s up to, it’s fine. Fine.”
As well as the announcement we get two covers. The main cover by artist Liana Kangas and variant cover by Tim Seeley.
Black Myth: The Key To His Heart #1 is out on Wednesday June 21th from AHOY Comics
