SCOTT SNYDER & JOCK’S HORROR MASTERPIECE GETS EXPANDED, REMASTERED WYTCHES, VOL. 1: PLEDGED EDITION THIS FALL AHEAD OF TV SHOW ADAPTATION

The wildly successful Wytches, Vol. 1 by The New York Times bestselling writer Scott Snyder (Absolute Batman) and critically-acclaimed artist Jock (Batman, The Losers) will be expanded and remastered in the upcoming Wytches, Vol. 1: Pledged Edition trade paperback slated to hit shelves this Fall from Image Comics ahead of the forthcoming Amazon/MGM Studios adaptation.

This new Wytches, Vol. 1: Pledged Edition will collect Wytches #1-6, Wytches: Bad Egg Halloween Special, material from issue #7 of the Image! anthology, and feature a significant portion recolored to match the upcoming animated TV series.

“Wytches was a deeply personal book, born out of the real fears I had as an anxious parent. It’s one of my favorite projects, and creating it with Jock made it all the better,” said Snyder. “So I’m incredibly excited to present it again in this new, souped-up edition with all the stories we’ve told over the years collected in one volume. Plus the new colors by Matt Hollingsworth make this the definitive version Jock and I meant to tell. This is a must-buy for any Litchfield fans and those waiting for the TV show!”

Wytches first launched in 2014 as a tentpole announcement at Image Expo and went on to become one the top selling comics of the year with multiple sell-outs and reprints and fervent fan support. It garnered coverage from such outlets as USA Today, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, and more, and went on to become one of the most beloved horror comics of the decade.

Jock added: “I’m thrilled to see this new expanded edition released—getting the chance to pull together the rarer stories alongside our first major arc will give readers the full Wytches experience as we head into a new, exciting new era of our beloved story!”

For centuries men and women have been persecuted and executed for witchcraft. Yet none of them were witches. They suffered to protect a terrible secret: witches, real witches, are out there. They are ancient, deadly creatures… Creatures rarely seen and even more rarely survived.

When the grieving Rooks family moves to the remote town of Litchfield seeking a fresh start… little do they know that something waits in the woods to greet them. Something ancient. Something evil. And it’s hungry.

Wytches, Vol. 1: Pledged Edition trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534342095) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, October 21 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 17.
