On a nondescript ship sailing for Sri Lanka, a dubious businessman will do anything to protect a most incredible and horrific cargo hidden below deck. But it is that cargo which has drawn the attention of the United States military, and the small team of Navy SEALS which has secretly boarded the vessel now find themselves facing not only the vicious black marketers who control the ship, but the supernatural creatures which have been unshackled from slave-like bondage to exact bloody revenge on those who would seek to steal their secret… The secret of the Stitched!

Garth Ennis originally developed Stitched, his horrific modern take on the classic supernatural mummy story, to be a movie. His partner on the comic series, artist Mike Wolfer, helped develop a first arc which ended last issue with an unforgettable battle. But, how did the curse of the Stitched begin?

With Stitched #8, Wolfer switches hats and takes on the writing chores to bring you a story arc that will finally reveal the ungodly origin of the Stitched! Joined by new series artist Fernando Furukawa, Wolfer explores the curse of the Stitched and extends its reach beyond the arid desert of Afghanistan. On a Sri Lanka-bound cargo ship, businessman Rashid Salid and his crew of black market cut-throats is overseeing the delivery of a very secret and very deadly payload. But Salid’s payday may never come, as a team of American Navy SEALS are on a black ops mission to secure that cargo for themselves. It’s an all-new continuation of Garth Ennis’ tale of modern warfare and ancient horrors!

Stitched #8 arrives in stores this Wednesday, 9/26, and is available with a Regular cover, Wraparound cover, Gore cover, and a special Ancient Evil retailer incentive cover by Fernando Furukawa.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION : Garth Ennis continues the epic story begun in his film, Stitched! Deep behind enemy lines in war-torn Afghanistan, the surviving crew members of a downed American Blackhawk helicopter faced certain death until the arrival of the three British SAS soldiers who the chopper crew was to extract from unfriendly territory. Death could find them in a dozen different ways, but it’s not enemy fire, dehydration or exposure to the elements which the refuge-seeking group fears most- It’s the “Stitches,” the fearsome, corpse-like dead men who hunt the desert wastes, ripping apart both Taliban fighters and coalition forces alike. With precious little water and limited ammo, the six embark on a flight for survival across a desert littered with the corpses of the mutilated and enforced by the supernaturally-animated “Stitches.” This new on-going series is certain to appeal to Ennis’ legions of fans as it pushes the envelope of horror beyond the boundaries of sanity and into fresh nightmares. Stitched #2 is available with a Regular cover, Wraparound cover, and Gore cover by series artist Mike Wolfer, and a special Stitched Movie Photo cover retailer incentive cover.
