The Cursed Pt. 1 - by Jen Soska (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Where advanced robotics meets an ancient curse. The Cursed Pt. 1 opens Lilian Ronashi's descent into a supernatural mystery--from Jen Soska, created by Eric July.

After the murder of her husband, renowned robotics engineer Ryuu Ishii, Lilian is pulled into a mystery that blurs the line between advanced technology and ancient curses. As she searches for the truth, she uncovers dark forces tied to her own life--and a fate that has been closing around her since before she understood it.

The first part of Lilian Ronashi's origin establishes the Rippaverse's supernatural-noir lane: a grounded, character-first horror story with a curse at its center and a woman who refuses to be its victim.

The first chapter of The Cursed, created by Eric July and written by Jen Soska, with art by Crizam Zamora--setting up the conclusion in The Cursed Pt. 2 and the character's place across the line's horror corner. For collectors, the first appearance of a recurring Rippaverse villain in her own series.

For readers of the line's horror corner, Pt. 1 is the ground floor of Lilian Ronashi's story--the setup that pays off across Pt. 2 and her later crossover appearances.

Created by Eric July and written by Jen Soska--Canadian filmmaker and comic creator known for fearless horror storytelling. Art by Crizam Zamora.
