PORTLAND, Ore. 08/20/2026 — From the twisted minds of Eisner Award winning writer Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher) and long-time artist collaborator Eisner Award winning John McCrea (Hitman, The Demon, Dead Eyes) comes a disturbing, psychedelic tale in the upcoming, The Snail. This one-shot story full of lust, power, and possession will hit shelves this November from Image Comics.
When you are offered your heart’s desire, what (and who) are you willing to sacrifice to achieve it? And should you really be making that deal with a… talking snail? The Snail is an all-new, standalone horror tale from top talent out of the Ninth Circle line of comics.
“It might be said that a talking snail is not the best source of life guidance, but given the scum and villainy people are taking advice from nowadays, perhaps it’s no worse than any of the other options? Find out in The Snail, by myself and the good Mr. McCrea,” said Ennis. “If I was a talking snail I’d definitely be telling you to buy it.”
McCrea added: “When Garth asks you to work on a horror title with him you have to be ready for some disturbing shit. I said yes and wasn’t ready. This is some disturbing shit.”
The Snail (UPC: 70985304936400111) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 11.
The Snail will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Google Play, Apple’s iBooks, Barnes & Noble’s Nook, Scribd’s Everand, Kobo, Overdrive, Hoopla, Sweet app, Comic Plus, and more.
