AAM/Markosia, publishers of the hit series�Kong: King of Skull Island,�Starship Troopers�and the critically acclaimed�The Boy Who Made Silence, announce the launch of its newest series this coming December.�
RITUAL�is penned by acclaimed author and screenwriter Andy Briggs (Kong: King of Skull Island, The Templar Chronicles: Heretic, Hero.com, Villain.net) with atmospheric art from newcomer Shawn McCauley.
When the sleepy Pennsylvanian town of Black Root is hit by a spate of bizarre ritualistic slayings, reminiscent of the Salem Witch Trails. The FBI is drafted in, but they have no idea that the supernatural killer is a long-dead witch hunter with a perverse desire for revenge.�
Publisher Harry Markos explains, �We've been working with Andy Briggs for a while now so when he approached me about the possibility of developing some new properties I jumped at the chance! Andy is incredibly talented and prolific with many ongoing projects at the moment, including movies, TV and as a published author of several books. I figured that he's worth getting involved with now rather than wait until he has the sort of success that I firmly believe will come very quickly. �We managed to secure the services of upcoming artist Shawn McCauley who has captured the mood perfectly with his distinctive style. This is one property which I believe will take us another step closer to achieving our aims as a publisher.��
