Witnessing the bloody murder of his parents, he will discover that, in reality, boogymen do indeed exist, and very precise codes govern their existence. When one of the most powerful boogymen, Father Death, decides to protect him, Elliott finds himself plunged into a terrible conflict at the heart of a universe as terrifying as it is fascinating. On a dark, stormy night, Elliott’s destiny will be fulfilled...

Creators Mathieu Salvia and Djet craft a stylish nightmare world and take you on a non-stop action adventure into the realm of the Boogymen. Collects the hit 6-issue series, along with cover gallery and bonus material.

DISCOVER A BRAND-NEW GRAPHIC NOVEL BASED ON THE HIT VIDEO GAME FRANCHISE!

For Juan Cortez, guerrilla warfare is a profession. Death, a hobby.

Over the years, he’s traveled from countries at war to conflict zones, putting his experience and training at the service of the highest bidder. This time, fate led him to Santa Costa, a South American country that curiously reminds him of Yara, his native land. Because here, as on the island of Antón Castillo, the recent discovery of a rare resource, a mineral called “Tantalum,” has upset the economy of a small nation previously ignored. Three camps now face each other: the military junta recently established in power by Di Stefano, the bourgeois party led by the daughter of the assassinated former leader, and a revolutionary group, defender of labor and indigenous rights. It was the latter, guided by their leader Max Purillo, who called on Juan’s talents. And for him, it’s blessed bread. A nascent guerrilla, a troubled period politically, and above all: money. A lot of money. To save the country, he is asked to strike a blow by assassinating General Di Stefano. But of course, nothing will go as planned...

A prequel to the events of Far Cry 6, this amphetamineboosted comic introduces Juan Cortez, one of the central characters in the newest installment of Ubisoft’s hit video game series. Collection includes the 4-issue series plus cover gallery and bonus material.

From the artist of the hit series The House of Slaughter!

“It is not difficult to be happy under a blue sky. But it takes a lot of courage to be strong even under a black sun.”

But even before all of the elements of what they have in store are revealed, the town’s descent into madness is already taking hold and turning the world on its head.
