About the series
Set in an alternate 1930s where the Reformation never happened and magic is real, Rex Mundi is a dark historical mystery from Image Comics. Written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated primarily by Eric J., the series follows a disgraced French doctor investigating a murder that leads him into a labyrinth of occult secrets and a centuries-old conspiracy involving the Holy Grail. Its dense, research-rich world-building and noir atmosphere distinguish it as a thoughtful, adult-oriented take on religious thriller and alternate history.
