DC Comics is releasing a new horror comic, The Conjuring: The Lover, which serves as a prelude to the new film, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. The Conjuring: The Lover is a five-issue monthly limited series c-written by Daniel Johnson-McGoldrick (screenwriter, The Conjuring 2, Orphan) and Rex Ogle.
Here’s your first look at some interior pages from issue #1 by series artist Garry Brown.
Synopsis:
Jessica, a college freshman returning to campus after winter break, bringing with her the anxieties of last semester’s poor grades, the awkwardness of facing a boy she wishes she’d never slept with, and an undeniably unnerving feeling of being watched.
Jessica soon comes to realize that something evil has made her its target, and it will not rest until it has her in its unholy grip. But why did this sinister presence set its sights on a seemingly normal college freshman?
The Conjuring: The Lover will also feature backup stories that further explore the mysteries of the dreaded artifact room of Ed and Lorraine Warren from The Conjuring Universe. Issue #1 contains a bloodcurdling story exploring the frightening origin of one of the items from the Warrens’ haunted artifact room, written by comics superstar and Dark Nights: Death Metal mastermind Scott Snyder, with art by Denys Cowan (Hardware, The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage).
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is set for release on June 4th, 2021 in both theatres and on HBO Max Friday.
