Amber Benson and Christopher Golden are reuniting for The Heir, a five-issue Irish folk horror comic from Mad Cave Studios. The publisher's October 20 announcement dates the first issue for January 13, 2027, with retailer orders due November 30. Gavin Fullerton draws the series, with colours by Juancho! and lettering
by Becca Carey. The story follows Dani and her fiance Conor to Ireland, where a family funeral replaces their planned engagement announcement. Family secrets, an abduction and ancient folklore turn the visit into a struggle to save someone Dani loves. Benson and Golden previously worked together on the Slayers: A
Buffyverse Story audio drama. The new comic is an original project, with Jamie McKelvie providing the first issue's main cover. Mad Cave also lists variant-cover artists Mike Mignola, Rebekah Isaacs and Chuma Hill, and plans digital availability alongside comic-shop release. Official announcement. Image: Jamie McKelvie
