Watchmen meets Unbreakable in the darkly disturbing supernatural tale, ATHANASIA, where the heroic dead bleed power into the ground … only to be unearthed by a down-on-her-luck young woman to unforeseeable consequences.

Some secrets are best left buried.

Forrest Molson is going nowhere. One year out of high school -- and one year into sobriety -- she's working with her father as assistant groundskeeper at Athanasia Cemetery, the final resting place of fallen members of the Dynamic Guild, Venture City's resident superheroes. At her lowest point, Forrest discovers Athanasia's darkest secret. At night, the cemetery soil bleeds a substance created from the spectacular substances that ooze from rotting superheroes. This ooze becomes Forrest's new drug -- and she's intent on using her unpredictable new powers to be judge, jury, and executioner of Venture City's evil citizens. But as she loses her mind to her new addiction, she inches closer to becoming the most evil of all. ATHANASIA is a superhero story seen through the darkest lens.

From Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Kraus (The Autumnal, Angel Down, Whalefall, The Shape of Water) and rising star artist Dani!
