Crimson Flower Jill Thompson FOC Variant Announced!

12/16/2020 1:31pm

Dark Horse Comics has announced a special FOC variant cover for Crimson Flower #1, drawn by Jill Thompson!

From New York Times–bestselling Mind MGMT creator Matt Kindt and Matt Lesniewski (The Freak) comes a brand-new, mind-altering journey through Russian folk tales, trained assassins, and government conspiracies. 

After losing her family in a violent home invasion, a woman uses folk tales to cope. In a blood-soaked journey toward revenge, she tracks down the man responsible for her family's deaths, only to discover a startling government plot—to weaponize folk tales and use them to raise children into super assassins. 

"'Cold blooded Russian assassins?' We've seen that before. But assassins trained using Slavic folktales as a brainwashing device? That's something new that really needed a unique visual style. When I saw Matt Lesniewski's book The Freak [nominated for an Eisner] I knew he was going to do something like we've never seen before. Our collaboration was alchemy – turning this book into a brutal, heartbreaking, psychedelic journey of a woman intent on revenge-killing every assassin that ruined her life." –Matt Kindt

"When I first read Matt's idea for Crimson Flower, the entire concept seemed genius. What locked it in for me more was how drawn I was to the character and struggle of Rodion. The whole thing read like it was made for me to draw." –Matt Lesniewski 

Talk with your local comics retailer for more information about the Crimson Flower #1 FOC variant cover, drawn by Jill Thompson on sale January 20th!
