When his girlfriend, Becca, arrives at the base of the mountain to retrace his steps, she soon discovers something beyond the dreamy and impressive landscape. There’s a conspiracy deep within the heart of Denali itself, a dark pyramid, silent, waiting.

“Dark Pyramid is a series about uncovering mysteries, and our whole creation process was an ode to that. Such collaborative fun!” said Tobin. “At each step, the whole creative team saw opportunities to make the story and the characters better. More dynamic. More terrifying. More mysterious. It’s a comic about how comics should be made, and that made it into a series that will be loved.”

“Dark Pyramid is a thrilling adventure into the heart of an ancient mystery,” added Holden. “Working with Paul is always an adventure, he asks for the oddest monsters and weirdest creatures and I hope to deliver them! You’re gonna find some of these monsters horrifying and others adorable, it’s great fun to get to draw that kind of range.”
