TEMPE, Ariz. 04/17/2025 — Image Comics/Todd McFarlane Productions is excited to announce that Black Ritual: The Book of NYX #1—the dark new miniseries from writer Thomas Healy and artist Nat Jones—has sold out completely at the distributor level and will return to comic shops this May. The highly anticipated second printing will feature all-new cover art by acclaimed Spawn artist Jason Shawn Alexander.
“When I heard that Black Ritual: The Book of Nyx #1 was going to get a second print, my first thought was how awesome the Spawn Universe fans were,” said Healey. “Getting to help create the corner of the Universe where magick and witchcraft thrive is a dream come true. And truth be told, this whole journey started due to Nat wanting to revisit the character of Nyx. We are just so grateful to the fans for supporting the book.”
Jones added: “We are so thankful and beyond thrilled with the support and positive reactions that the first issue of Black Ritual: The Book of Nyx is receiving. Thomas Healy and I are putting a lot of love into this story, and to see it resonate with Spawn fans and readers new to the Spawn Universe is absolutely amazing. We can’t wait for everyone to see what we have in store!”
The haunting debut issue of Black Ritual dives deep into the untold history of Nyx—witch, warrior, and current Queen of Hell. Long shrouded in mystery, Nyx finally takes center stage in this seven-issue miniseries as she confronts the sins of her past and the dangers of her future.
Black Ritual: The Book of NYX delivers 24 pages of captivating storytelling and stunning artwork, all for just $3.99. This standalone miniseries provides longtime fans with fresh insights into one of Spawn Universe’s most under-explored characters.
