The Deep Dark
From Molly Knox Ostertag, writer-illustrator of the New York Times and ABA Indie bestselling The Witch Boy trilogy and The Girl from the Sea, comes a darkly beautiful story of identity, family, love, loss, and magic.
Everyone has secrets. Mags's has teeth.
Magdalena Herrera is about to graduate high school, but she already feels like an adult with serious responsibilities: caring for her ailing grandmother; working a part-time job; clandestine makeouts with a girl who has a boyfriend. And then there's her secret, which pulls her into the basement each night, drains her of energy, and leaves her bleeding. A secret that could hurt and even kill if it ever got out -- like it did once before.
So Mags keeps her head down, isolated in her small desert community. That is, until her childhood friend Nessa comes back to town, bringing vivid memories of the past, an intoxicating glimpse of the future, and a secret of her own. Mags won't get attached, of course. She's always been strong enough to survive without anyone's help.
But when the darkness starts to close in on them both, Mags will have to drag her secret into the daylight, and choose between risking everything... or having nothing left to lose.

Pre-Orders & Final Order Cutoff
Pre-ordering is the best way to guarantee the comics and collectibles you don't want to miss.
Comic books available during the open-order period are typically offered at 25% off cover price. Pre-orders must be placed before the applicable Final Order Cutoff (FOC) deadline to receive available pre-order pricing.
Once a comic book passes FOC, the sale is final and the order cannot be canceled. At that point, State of Comics has committed to purchasing inventory from our distributors based on customer orders.
Release dates, cover artwork, creative teams, product descriptions, variants and other information are supplied by publishers and distributors and may change without notice.
Orders containing multiple products will generally ship once all items in the order are available.
Publisher cancellations, distributor allocations, shortages and other circumstances outside our control can occasionally prevent us from fulfilling a pre-order. If this occurs, we will communicate any changes and issue applicable refunds. State of Comics
