Story: El Torres / Art: Juan Jose Ryp & Malaka Studios
The hit, mature-readers, gore-fest that's the story of a girl gone to Hell is now collected together in one volume, with a gorgeous new Ryp cover and a never before published short story.
Nancy was a cheerleader with a great life: captain of the football team for a boyfriend, good friends, and some occasional habits that didn't really hurt anyone, even if they weren't strictly legal. But that all ended after an ill-fated camping trip that started as the best weekend of her life, and turned out to be the last weekend of her life. Now she's in Hell, and whether deserved or not...she's getting out!

Writer: El Torres / Art: Gaby Hernández / Edits: C. Edward Sellner
Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan
which is also the most famous suicide spot in the entire world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaminghaunting deep in those ancient woods.
This series from the creators of the acclaimed The Veil examines the lives of Alan, an average worker from Tokyo and his rather unhealthy relationship with Masami, and Ryoko, a forest ranger who recovers the suicide victims bodies from the woods. We discover that behind Ryokos unconcerned surface lies a secret, and these three lives will be forever changed by the darkness waiting for them in the Suicide Forest.
