BRIAR #4 FOC Cover Reveal

FIRST LOOK AT THE BRIAR #4 FOC COVER

Briar’s Safety is at Risk in Briar #4, Hitting Shelves April 2023

Toni Infante’s (Sons of the Devil) variant cover of issue #4 of Christopher Cantwell and Germán García’s dark retelling of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ has been revealed by BOOM! Studios today just ahead of Final Order Cutoff. BRIAR #4 is the penultimate issue of the brand new four-issue limited comic book series from Eisner Award-nominated writer, producer, and director Christopher Cantwell (Regarding the Matter of Oswald’s Body, Iron Man, Halt and Catch Fire), rising star artist Germán García (Ka-Zar: Lord of the Savage Land), colorist Matheus Lopes (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow), and letterer AndWorld Design (The Many Deaths of Laila Starr) that reimagines the classic fairy tale as an epic dark fantasy adventure.

Grendrid, the only surviving remnant of the sleeping beauty’s past, seeks Briar’s blood! Even the seemingly impenetrable city of Windcross and its king Rodion can’t protect our hero and her companions, Spider and Roop. The relentless Deadcrawl and his nine assassins hunt at Grendrid’s behest, and it will take everything Briar and her allies have to survive.
