Welcome back to Woodbrook.

After the thrilling conclusion of issue #1, it’s finally time to rejoin Samantha Strong inside the cozy confines of small-town life. The years have passed, and she’s slowed down a bit…but she’ll still get her paws dirty to protect the life she’s built for herself, no matter what it takes.

As we’re reintroduced to Samantha in the ’90s, we’ll also get a sinister peek into years long gone, filling in the gaps between her first kill and the first comic page.
