Ghost Announce New Sister Imperator Comic Book Series

Ghost has many creative irons in the fire, and they’re gonna add another one with this latest announcement. Little miss Mistress of the Ministry herself Sister Imperator will have her origin story told in an official comic book series.

The series was co-written by Ghost vocalist Tobias Forge and Corinna Bechko (Avatar: Adapt or Die), and will feature artwork from Puste (The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries), Thiago Rocha (Kill All Immortals), and Jimmy Betancourt of Comicraft, who worked on Ghostbusters: Back in Town.

Bechko commented on how excited she was to work with the band:

“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 shared a similar statement:

“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!

“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.”

The first issue of the comic is set to come out March 5 via Dark Horse Comics.
