Oni Press published the first English edition of Canticle of Lost Souls on November 10. Writer Michele Monteleone translated the dark fantasy graphic novel from Italian, and the 152-page hardcover includes a new illustration by artist Freddie Tanto. When a monster kills her village’s champion, a teenager named Leah is

sent into the swamp carrying what remains of the creature in a lantern. The villagers expect her to drop it into a pit among the ruins of a sunken castle. The journey tests Leah’s ideas about who she owes her loyalty to and what the villagers are asking her to sacrifice. The edition credits Francesco Segala as

colourist and Maria Letizia Mirabella as letterer. Official source. Image credit: Oni Press, official Canticle of Lost Souls cover artwork. Official image source.
