Preview of Comic Book – Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy #1
DC's new Vertigo series, Black Tower: The Raven Conspiracy, debuts this Wednesday. You can check out the official preview of the first issue below for an advance look...
OCCULT WARFARE IS A FANTASY… OR IS THAT JUST WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE? Twenty-three-year-old Darren Burroughs from Audubon, PA, is a talented newcomer posing as a diplomatic aide to train with Division Nine — a little-known, outdated branch of British intelligence that focuses on paranormal events. In certain spy circles, they are known by a more notorious title… Black Tower.
Set in 2026, during an era of cyber warfare and drone attacks, a scheme is underway to steal the head of a giant king in order to dismantle a centuries-old barrier that has prevented invading forces from entering Britain. As magic and espionage converge, the Black Tower’s diverse group of misfits, under the leadership of the mysterious Alistair Romeo, navigates a tumultuous world of spells and suppressors, racing against time and operating in the shadows to confront the hidden battles that lie beneath the surface of our overt conflicts.
Eisner Award winner Ram V (Detective Comics, The Swamp Thing) and renowned artist Mike Perkins (The Swamp Thing, The Bat-Man: First Knight) reunite to deliver a modern spy thriller infused with the unique essence of Vertigo magic… straight from His Majesty with love.
