Description

SERIES PREMIERE FIFTEEN YEARS AFTER THE DEVIL OF WOODSBURGH VANISHED, EVIL RETURNS TO TOWN… Having rid itself of the terrible Devil of Woodsburgh, the thriving former mining town has seen the sun shine again for fifteen years… until the arrival of a new Lady Hellaine. Rory, accompanied by Joel, is all grown up now, and ready to open her factory. But her arrival hides a secret: Electric Sumac is spreading through the streets, a strange drug that makes humans unusually strong and dangerous… something Rory and Joel are determined to stop at any cost, knowing all too well that its mysterious origins are decidedly not of this world. Meanwhile, Sheriff Bancroft seems to have returned as well, to settle the scores his father left behind. Could Rory end up caught in the middle…? The long-awaited sequel to the international hit MERCY is finally here! Acclaimed creator MIRKA ANDOLFO (UNNATURAL, SWEET PAPRIKA) returns to her most celebrated world with artist LIDIA BOLOGNINI (SWEET PAPRIKA: BLACK, WHITE & PINK) for a Gothic horror of inheritance, addiction, and appetite, perfect for fans of Penny Dreadful, Dark Shadows, and… MERCY, of course!
