From the press release:

THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS
New Miniseries Challenges Fans to Take Part in the Upcoming Horror

Berkeley, CA – April 19, 2021 – Crazed serial killers often claim to be doing God’s work, but what if one really was? MYSTERIOUS WAYS, a six-issue miniseries from Image Comics’ Top Cow Productions proposes an answer to that disturbing question. This July, video game industry titan Jason Rubin (The Iron Saint) joins forces with artist Tyler Kirkham (Green Lantern Corps, Amazing Spider-Man) to introduce this dark and action-packed thriller that will have you questioning everything you believe.

MYSTERIOUS WAYS takes a number of archetypes from classic crime suspense stories and turns them on their head over the course of the story. Sam, the down on his luck, alcoholic ex-cop is not what he seems. Neither is the sharp-tongued, gothic bar waitress. Certainly not the by-the-book FBI agent with a perfect arrest record!

“MYSTERIOUS WAYS has been in my head for the better part of a decade, so it’s great to see it come to fruition with style,” said Rubin. “Tyler and our inker, Sal Regla, are at the top of their game, and I can’t thank Top Cow and Image enough for their commitment to bringing out books of the highest quality.”

“Jason shows how diverse a story teller he is,” added Kirkham. “MYSTERIOUS WAYS is as far from Crash Bandicoot as you could possibly go. It’s a sick thrill ride from start to finish!”

Not only will MYSTERIOUS WAYS provide a disturbing new story for horror fans, but beginning the last week of April, readers will also be asked to predict how MYSTERIOUS WAYS plays out, and most importantly how it ends, with a contest in which the reader that submits the closest description of the storyline through the Website by the day the second issue hits stores will receive every Top Cow comic released over the next 12 months, absolutely free! Participants must submit their entries through Top Cow’s new community Website, The Barn at www.topcow.com/barn. The winner will be announced after the last issue ships.

MYSTERIOUS WAYS #1 (MAY110428), a 32-page full color comic priced at $3.99, will be available for order in the May issue of Diamond Previews and goes on sale July 6.
