Hell To Pay: Hellboy Meets Indiana Jones Action In New Image Series

Image Comics has announced a new supernatural series titled Hell to Pay. The new series comes from bestselling author Charles Soule who will team up with artist Will Sliney. The series is described as Hellboy meets Indiana Jones as a married couple who as a result of a deal they made when younger, have the power of magic, but it came at a cost. The series will feature a main cover by artist Dave Johnson with a variant cover by Sliney.

Image Comics‘ description of Hell to Pay reads:

“In Hell to Pay, readers meet married young couple Maia and Sebastian Stone. Years ago, they made a deal with the mysterious Shrouded College to give them magic… but they incurred a debt. Until it’s paid, their lives are not their own. Maia and Sebastian have worked for the College ever since, using their new abilities to track down 666 cursed coins: qurrakh…aka, the Devil’s Dollar. Only a few remain. The Stones are almost free…but the devil’s in the details.”

Soule shares his love of horror stories, saying:

“I love horror stories, especially gnarly, supernaturally-tinged tales—but I haven’t been able to play with that kind of storytelling much since my run on Swamp Thing almost a decade ago. I’ve been meaning to tell a really big story with Will Sliney for ages too—we’ve known each other since the early days of our careers. I feel very lucky that Hell to Pay gives me a chance to do both.

“The story here is high-concept and thrilling—basically, you can get magic… but on credit, and your soul is the collateral. Clearing that debt… easier said than done. I think this story will be very relatable to anyone living in today’s world.

Sliney adds their feelings of the beginning of something special with the series, saying:

“This is the beginning of something really special, that Charles and I have been planning for a long time. It’s a the debut of a giant new world, built around a very relatable story.”

Hell to Pay #1 will be available at your favorite local comic shop and digitally on November 2nd, 2022. Check out the preview below:
