A strip mall heist, a satanic cult, and another lousy shift at a minimum wage job—grab a #2 with fries and settle in for a hilarious thrill ride!

Marty Tarantella has been flipping burgers for 15 years. He has no kids, no hobbies, no love interests, and, essentially, no life. But what he does have is a plan to change everything. Years of watching the daily rhythms of the neighbouring stores has given Marty the idea for a perfect heist. However, when he accidentally steals a supernatural weapon from a cult full of violent lunatics, the resulting Satanic panic will be way above his minimum-wage pay grade.

Nothing can prepare you for the coming of Trve Kvlt, a deliciously horrifying and hilarious new series from Scott Bryan Wilson (Batman: Gotham Nights, Pennyworth) and Liana Kangas (Star Wars Adventures, She Said Destroy, Razorblades).

Praised for its spot-on dialogue, excellent artwork, and strong character development, Trve Kvlt is recognised as a thrilling blend of genres with significant depth. Reviewers highlight its compelling offbeat comedy interwoven with serious themes and a relatable storyline about mundane jobs and unfulfilled dreams. Acclaimed sources like The New York Times and Comics Beat commend it as a consummate comic experience, leaving readers eager for more.
