The story of Briar Rose has been told a myriad of ways, but none have been as compelling as the new miniseries Boom! Studios’ Briar. Since 2023, writer Christopher Cantwell has been joined by a stunning stable of talent to bring this version of Briar Rose of Sleeping Beauty fame to life, giving her agency that she’s historically been denied in other retellings. This version has always honored the traditional tale but has spun into ways that has made her nothing short of a force of nature.

And this December, Briar Rose’s journey is coming to an epic conclusion in Briar: Night’s Terror, from the creative team of Cantwell, Alex Lins, and Mar Silvestride, showcasing the final showdown between Briar and Gendrid. Who will prevail? What will either side have to sacrifice? This miniseries is the culmination we’ve been waiting for.

We’ve been fans of Briar since its first miniseries, which is why we’re thrilled to present an exclusive preview of Briar: Night’s Terror #1, on sale this December 3rd from BOOM! Studios! Check out the preview pages below, as well as the press release details about the debut issue!
