Image Comics has announced Ain’t No Grave, a “macabre Western/Fantasy tale” pitting a former outlaw against Death himself.
Per Image, Ain’t No Grave launches early this coming May. The five-issue limited series hails from writer Skottie Young and artist Jorge Corona — the same creative team behind the Bram Stoker Award-nominated The Me You Love in the Dark. Image describes Young and Corona’s new comic as “an Unforgiven-style journey through a Guillermo Del Toro-esque lens.”

What is Ain’t No Grave about?
An official synopsis for the series reads as follows: “Ryder put her violent past behind her when she fell in love and became a mother. But that was before she learned it was all going to be taken away. Now she’ll have to pick up her guns once again and ride to kill the one behind the threat. Who just happens to be Death.”
“Jorge and I are back at it again and I can’t wait for people to get their hands on this genre bending western tale we’ve been weaving,” Young said.
“Without spoiling too much of the plot, Ain’t No Grave takes some of my favorite elements from our previous books and merges them into a dark fantasy story wrapped in all the violence of a classic western,” Corona added. “It feels good to be back working with Skottie and the team.”
Ain’t No Grave #1 goes on sale Wednesday, May 8 from Image Comics.
