Image Comics announced that the tattooed witches of The Marked series return in October in a new Halloween special.
David Hine and Brian Haberlin reunite in this one-shot that sets up a deadly game for the title characters.
Once every hundred years The Marked are challenged to a game called Rogue’s Night. It’s a game, like Russian Roulette is a game, like Christians vs. Lions was a game. The stakes are high and if The Marked lose, we all lose.
Here’s how it works: Rogue was a powerful witch who was kicked out of The Markedfour hundred years ago for using Dark Magic. Every century she takes her revenge by choosing a location to unleash her mischief demons. This time her target is Holy Mountain, Texas, where a radical evangelist called Pastor Jonah is burning books and banning Halloween. According to the pastor, leftists and liberals are literally Satan’s demons in human form. As night falls on Halloween, it looks like he was right. The demons are here and it’s all tricks with no treats for the God-fearing citizens of Holy Mountain.
Their only hope of survival lies with the “witchy freaks” known as The Marked, the very people they tried to kick out of town.
Did we mention, that if The Marked fail to send the mischief demons back to Hell before midnight, they get to wreak havoc across the world for the next hundred years?!
The Marked: Halloween Special arrives on October 12, 2022.
