Bingo Wilkin's Encore Will Take Your Breath Away

Greetings, feverish fans of fright! If you were captivated by last year's The Cult of That Wilkin Boy one-shot, then rejoice! Bingo Wilkin is back with another so-good-its-sinful-one-shot from the creative masterminds who brought you last year's title: writer Cullen Bunn, Penciller Dan Schoening, Inker Ben Galvan, Colorist Matt Herms, and Letterer Jack Morelli!

When we last left off, pop star Bingo Wilkin had made the ultimate sacrifice to retain the level of stardom and acclaim he achieved from a deal with the devil. Initiation picks up a few years into the future, and gives readers a glimpse at where Bingo's been since.

We soon learn that Bingo's life hasn't been all glitz and glamor, but instead the tedious work of artist management--including paperwork, devious schemes, and, of course, plenty of meddling demons.
