The Goddamned: Virgin Brides #1 begins the long-awaited second chapter of this biblical-noir epic from writer Jason Aaron and artist r.m.Guéra.

The perfect jumping on point for readers new to The Goddamned series, The Goddamned: Virgin Brides #1 is now being rushed back to print by Image Comics in order to keep up with demand.

Bonds of matrimony

The stark and brutal world of The Goddamned is set in the time before the Great Flood, when the world of man is a place of wanton violence and unbridled depravity.

But hidden high atop a mountain, there is a very different sort of world. One without men.

Here, in The Goddamned: Virgin Brides, the holy sisters at a secret nunnery live in paradise, a new Eden, rearing their flock of orphaned girls to embrace their future as blessed Brides of the Sons of God.

But when Sharri and Jael, two girls on the cusp of flowering, uncover what it truly means to become a Bride, they realize there’s only one way to escape the bonds of matrimony: run like hell.

The second printing (Diamond Code JUN208564) will be available at comic book shops on Aug. 19.

The Goddamned: Virgin Brides #1 will also be available for purchase across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.
