The Mummy: Palimpsest

In this 2016–2017 Titan Comics miniseries, writer Peter Milligan and artists John McCrea and Ronilson Freire resurrect the Mummy for a modern horror-adventure that peels back layers of ancient secrets. The story follows a cursed archaeologist who becomes entangled with a mysterious woman whose past lives hold the key to a dark conspiracy spanning centuries. With Milligan’s trademark psychological depth and McCrea’s gritty, expressive linework, Palimpsest reimagines the classic monster as a vehicle for exploring identity, memory, and the weight of history. It stands as a thoughtful, character-driven take on the Mummy mythos, blending supernatural thrills with a noir-tinged sensibility.
