The Necromancer (3rd Series)

    (Top Cow, 2005-2006)
™ and © Top Cow Productions, Inc.

Abigail Van Alstine was one of Manitou High’s popular girls right up until she inadvertently summoned a demon that ripped the heads off half the cheerleading squad. At Bible study.

So goes the debut of Top Cow Productions’ resident mage, the Necromancer. Alstine quickly learns there’s no going back and finds herself drawn into a centuries-old conflict between competing supernatural factions, the Hierarchy and the Dark Agents. Forced to grow up quickly, Alstine must come to grips with her gift for powerful magic.

Written by Joshua Ortega (Frequencies) and penciled by Francis Manapul (Witchblade), The Necromancer features well-crafted writing and lavish, vibrantly colored art.
