Ghost have announced a new four-part comic series based on Sister Imperator. The first issue is set to be released on March 5 through Dark Horse Comics. Frontman Tobias Forge co-wrote the series with Corinna Bechko (“Avatar: Adapt or Die”) and it will also include contributions from artist Puste (“The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries”), colorist Thiago Rocha (“Kill All Immortals”), and Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt (“Ghostbusters: Back in Town”).

Bechko commented:

“As a fan of Ghost, working with Tobias to bring his vision of Sister Imperator‘s story to life was a dream come true. Her history is rich, tragic and brutal in ways that transcend what people might think they know about her character… I’ve had the honor of writing a lot of amazing women, from Vampirella to Wonder Woman, but I’ve never written a character more kickass than Sister Imperator.”

Puste continued:

“Sister Imperator herself is such a fascinating and terrifying character, and I know fans are going to love her. With the support of an amazing team, a killer script, and the backing of Dark Horse and Ghost, this has truly been a dream project. I can’t wait for fans of the band and comics alike to dive into this dark, atmospheric and thrilling story!”

The following was also added on darkhorse.com:

“A figure shrouded in mystery, Sister Imperator didn’t begin her life as the revered representative of the Clergy and behind the scenes overseer of Ghost’s dark machinations. The gruesome events that led her to become loved and feared by so many began in small-town New England, leading her down a winding path of violence and vindication, are finally revealed.”
