BOOM! Studios have been on a roll recently. From major hits with existing franchises like Power Rangers to original series like the mega-hit horror series Something is Killing the Children, BOOM! has been a major force of creative energy in the comics industry. Now, BOOM! is releasing the definitive edition of their horror-tinged dark fantasy series Faithless, and it already looks incredible.
Created by acclaimed comic writer Brian Azzarello and artist María Llovet, Faithless began in 2019 and ran for six issues. That initial run was followed up by a pair of sequels, the appropriately titled Faithless II and Faithless III, in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The series follows a young woman named Faith who dabbles in magic with some potentially dark consequences. What follows is a journey tinged with elements of eroticism and the occult as Faith finds herself.
Power Rangers Reveal First Look at Their New Ranger in Upcoming Series
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team is returning in a huge way this summer thanks to the arrival of a brand-new Ranger. First look here!
Taking a horror-fantasy approach popularized in works like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and adding a deeply personal element, Faithless has been nothing less than a hit, earning Azzarello and Llovet critical acclaim.
For horror and fantasy fans who missed out on Faithless, now is the perfect time to get interested, as BOOM! Studios is releasing Faithless Complete Collection on August 25th. The massive 448-page tome contains the entire Faithless story, meaning it’s perfect for both longtime fans and those coming to the series with fresh eyes.
To celebrate the upcoming release, BOOM! have shared a series of preview pages with ScreenRant that depict the fun writing by Azzarello and the beautiful art by Llovet.
Faithless Is Destined To Become The Next Dark Urban Fantasy Obsession
Though the preview pages are short, they provide an excellent glimpse at what Faithless is offering. Fun, a little flirty, and with an edge of danger, these pages are a great showcase of what the series does well. It’s also great proof of why Azzarello and Llovet make such a great team.
Azzarello is nothing short of a legend in the comics industry. Azzarello’s run on comics like Hellblazer and 100 Bullets is nothing short of iconic, with the latter even earning him an Esiner for Best Serialized story. The writer’s work often combines a noir edge with clever wordplay and witty dialogue, more than earning Azzarello his place among the all-time greats.
For her part, María Llovet is no slouch either. Her art has such an expressive and human element to it, selling Faith’s journey of self-discovery throughout the comic. Llovet’s use of eroticism also helps elevate the work rather than coming across as exploitative. Her depictions of steamy situations feel very deliberate, enhancing the story rather than detracting.
Faithless Continues BOOM!’s Stellar Lineup Of Comics
Faithless Complete Collection is another clear win for BOOM! Studios. While BOOM!’s work on rebooting Power Rangers might be capturing a great deal of attention, the studio’s work on creating new franchises has also been stellar.
Something Has Been Killing the Children is nothing short of a sensation, while the Keanu Reeves-led BRZRKR has proved popular enough to earn a 2026 comeback. BOOM! has clearly become a welcoming home for creatives across the industry, giving artists and writers a chance to stretch their artistic capabilities.
The results have always been interesting, and Faithless is no exception. With incredible artwork, a fascinating premise, and great writing, Faithless Complete Collection will be a must-own for fans of horror and urban fantasy. Look forward to the book when it drops on August 25th!
