Black Ritual: The Book of Nyx (2025), published by Image Comics, unravels the long-guarded secrets of one of Spawn’s most compelling characters. Written by Thomas Healy and brought to life by the dark, atmospheric art of Nat Jones, this tale traces the mysterious journey of Nyx—a figure who has been Al Simmons’ enemy, ally, and even savior.
Once the first to claim the mantle of She-Spawn, Nyx fought side-by-side with Al to rescue Wanda and Cyan, only to vanish without explanation. Now she rules as the Queen of Hell, but her rise to power hides years of shadowy deeds and hard choices. This series pulls back the curtain on those missing years, exploring the trials, betrayals, and alliances that shaped her destiny. As Nyx confronts the consequences of her past and navigates the treacherous politics of Hell, her path becomes intertwined with the mysterious Lost Coven—setting the stage for a dark, magical reckoning.
