One year out of high school -- and one year into sobriety -- she's working with her father as assistant groundskeeper at Athanasia Cemetery, the final resting place of fallen members of the Dynamic Guild, Venture City's resident superheroes. At her lowest point, Forrest discovers Athanasia's darkest secret. At night, the cemetery soil bleeds a substance created from the spectacular substances that ooze from rotting superheroes. This ooze becomes Forrest's new drug -- and she's intent on using her unpredictable new powers to be judge, jury, and executioner of Venture City's evil citizens. But as she loses her mind to her new addiction, she inches closer to becoming the most evil of all. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eATHANASIA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is a superhero story seen through the darkest lens. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrom \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Daniel Kraus (\u003ci\u003eThe Autumnal, Angel Down, Whalefall, The Shape of Water\u003c\/i\u003e) and rising star artist Dani!\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For fans of the graphic novels \u003ci\u003eBlack Hammer \u003c\/i\u003e(Jeff LeMire\/Dean Ormston\u003ci\u003e), Watchmen \u003c\/i\u003e(Alan Moore\/Dave Gibbons), \u003ci\u003eThe Crow \u003c\/i\u003e(James O'Barr +Film\u003ci\u003e), Kingdom Come \u003c\/i\u003e(Mark Waid\/Alex Ross), \u003ci\u003e Batman: The Killing Joke \u003c\/i\u003e(Alan Moore\/Brian Bolland), \u003ci\u003e The Boys \u003c\/i\u003e(Garth Ennis\/Darick Roberson), \u003ci\u003e The Authority \u003c\/i\u003e(Warren Ellis\/Bryan Hitch); \u003ci\u003ethe films Darkman, Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eUnbreakable\u003c\/i\u003e and the novels \u003ci\u003eAlter Ego\u003c\/i\u003e (Alex Segura), \u003ci\u003eSecret Identity \u003c\/i\u003e(Alex Segura), V.E.
