COURT OF THE DEAD: GRAVE TALES: A Comics Omnibus

An omnibus of grave tales. Heaven and Hell are at war. Fuelled by human souls, this never-ending battle threatens to embroil all of existence in its pointless destruction. Death - arbiter of mortal souls and leader of the Underworld - is the unlikely hero who endeavours to restore balance to all the realms. Death and his Court of the Dead plan to rise up and defeat the celestial overlords. Get to know this grim, noble and improbably cast of heroes in this comics omnibus. Follow Malavestros, the impassioned, unhinged (and often fourth-wall-breaking) Jester of Death's Court, on a guided tour through the Land of the Dead. Malavestro explains that once you die you don't go to Heaven or Hell but go to a world between the two and Death basically decides where you end up. Learn the origins of the unlikely band of heroes who must ultimately overcome their dark and destructive natures to fight the myopic armies of Heaven and Hell. Bear witness as Queen Gethsemoni struggles with the burdens associated with wearing the crown. Watch as Kier, the Valkyrie of the Dead, hunts for angels, only to find a much more savage adversary. These and the other gripping epics will prepare you for your journey into the afterlife. 144 pages, nine original stories, as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes content.
