THE BOOK OF NEKRO is a dark urban-supernatural comic series that blends street realism, hoodoo mysticism, and modern superhero mythology. Set in Grimwood, a city built on a spiritual wound, the story follows Quinn Graves, a 17-year-old who should’ve died in the street—but didn’t. When Quinn is brought back through a deal he never agreed to, he awakens as Nekro, a living conduit to the Vein River, an ancient current of green, death-charged energy flowing beneath the city. The same force fuels Deadlight, gangs, rituals, and spirits that stalk Grimwood from the shadows. Caught between worlds, Quinn is guided—and manipulated—by Papa Legba, the trickster gatekeeper of the crossroads, while protected by Big Mama Angie, his hoodoo-practicing grandmother who knows the cost of surviving death. As rival powers rise—Slimeball, a flashy Atlanta-styled crime boss feeding off Deadlight, and Veve Marc (Malikai Crowe), a modern voodoo undertaker wielding decay magic—Grimwood becomes a battleground of money, spirits, and forgotten bargains. Nekro isn’t a hero chosen for purity or destiny. He’s chosen because he survived. Each issue explores identity, grief, legacy, and power through a gritty lens—where neighborhoods hum with memory, spirits listen to prayers they weren’t meant to hear, and the city itself feels alive. With a tone that mixes Marvel-level cinematic action, Southern gothic horror, and street-level mythology, The Book of Nekro asks one question: What happens when a city’s hunger finally gets a body? Grimwood didn’t curse Quinn Graves. It fed him. And now, the debt is coming due.
