Boom Studios’ Grim, the hit series from writer Stephanie Phillips, artist Flaviano, colorist Rico Renzi, and letterer Tom Napolitano, continues going strong, following the adventures and tribulations of Jessica Harrow, a newly-dead human and newly-recruited Reaper who’s having issues adjusting to her new status quo. And why wouldn’t she? She doesn’t know what killed her, she’s roped into a life she didn’t ask for, and she doesn’t know who she’s actually working for. The entire creative team mixes mystery, pathos, and the supernatural for a fast-paced tale that folds you in to the tale and leaves you with lingering questions about sense of self and the afterlife.
On Wednesday, February 8th, Grim #8 goes on sale, with Jess wrestling with the unintended consequences of her work:
What happens when people are on the brink of dying–need to die–but can’t? Jess feels at fault due to the sequence of events surrounding her, but far from it; she’s the only one that can help. But she’s not the only contender for the Throne of Death!
