Upstairs-downstairs drama meets existential horror in this Edwardian-inspired comics tale of high society and creeping dread.

In a world warped by a strange and corrosive force known as the Ruin, nothing is what it seems, and allies may become abominations in the blink of an eye.


In “Horror at Crane Mansion,” investigator for hire Elizabeth Ranseur finds herself in deep when a simple job vetting a wealthy woman’s suitors becomes a death trap. Who is a tragic victim, and who is the ruthless hunter?

Created in collaboration with Studio Hermitage and in association with the TTRPG of the same name, Our Brilliant Ruin explores a gilded Edwardian setting where intricate social ties of allegiance and conflict are threatened by the presence of the Ruin—a mysterious force that turns creatures and people into horrific monsters.

Featuring writing by Cullen Bunn, art by Christopher Mitten, colors by Piky Hamilton, letters by Frank Cvetkovic, and covers by Helen Mask.

Collects Our Brilliant Ruin: Horror at Crane Mansion #1–#3.
