APRIL 25, 2025, (PORTLAND, OR) — What lurks in the shadows? Terrible, broken things that writhe in the space between worlds… and they’re after one person: Shane Beck.
Launching next week, BETWEENERS is a supernatural horror story soaked in crime, redemption, and dark humor from CBC News reporter and comics creator Adam Carter. Featuring art by Armin Ozdic (The Living Finger), atmospheric colors by Gui Sabino (Starfell, The Wombat), and letters by Héctor Negrete (Joker: The World), this chilling new series reinvents the exorcism genre with a brutal twist: this time, the exorcist is the one who’s possessed.
Betweeners isn’t just a horror story. It’s a deep dive into identity, morality, and the heavy, inescapable weight of past sins. Stripping away the usual religious iconography, Carter flips the classic possession narrative on its head—creating a story that’s as thought-provoking as it is terrifying.
Exorcist Shane Beck has a secret: He’s not really Shane Beck. His body is possessed by the soul of Mike Baxter, a grifter who died in the 1980s and spent decades suffering in Hell—until he found a way out. Now, using Beck’s body, Baxter performs exorcisms while staying one step ahead of the demons that hunt him. But when Beck’s estranged son, James, shows up desperate for help, Baxter finds himself in an unfamiliar role: pretending to be a father.
When an elite agent from hell tracks them down, Baxter and James are forced into a deadly fight for survival. The battle that follows will push Baxter to his limits, forcing him to face the question he’s been avoiding: Can redemption be earned? Or is he doomed to the fate he tried to outrun?
A character-driven supernatural thriller, Betweeners is a must-read for horror and fantasy fans who crave dark storytelling with emotional depth, delivering a fresh twist on the exorcism genre. Fans of Dexter, Hellblazer, and Lucifer will be drawn in.
Betweeners drops on GlobalComix, as well as print and Kindle versions on Amazon, April 30th!
