On Wednesday, August 27th, BOOM! Studios is releasing BE NOT AFRAID #3 – the breathtaking continuation of the new original series from visionary writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle (Maw, Hello Darkness) and acclaimed artist Lisandro Estherren (Nightmare Country, Redneck), colorist Francesco Segala with assistance by Gloria Martinelli, and letterer Simon Bowland. Equal parts feminist rage and rural folk horror, this descent into Hell itself is a nightmare ride fueled by the underpinnings of American Evangelical tradition and brutal cosmic horror!

Jordy’s life has been painted by death and decay. In his childhood, it disturbed him. Now a young adult, he relishes the chaos that follows him and its horrifying effects on the people of Enoch. Cora is desperate for an end to their suffering. Jordy’s mere existence puts them all in greater danger than Cora could have ever imagined. Mr. Phim has a plan to help her put a stop to all of it, but Cora doesn’t want the responsibility.
