St. Mercy, a revenge tale that pits the Incan Empire against the Wild West, begins in August 2021 from Image/Top Cow. The four-issue miniseries is written by John Zuur Platten (Jurassic World: Evolution) with art by Atilio Rojo.

St. Mercy is a story of vengeance and retribution, featuring Mercedes Oro, one of the surviving Incan descendants who has been tasked with protecting cursed gold that was used in their child sacrifice rituals. When an outlaw steals the gold he inadvertently unleashes an angry god who will travel through centuries to find what he wants.

“I’ve always been fascinated by mythical stories of characters facing impossible odds, and in St. Mercy, I was able to explore this for two young heroines connected through time,” Platten said. “Each must find the willpower to defy the evil and the powerful in the face of personal tragedy. And while St. Mercy has its roots in the tradition of classic westerns, things take a violent, bloody, and unexpected turn once the demonic children appear.”

St. Mercy #1 (Diamond Code JUN210074) will be in comic shops on Wednesday, August 25.
