Outlaws. Demons. A woman branded a witch. From Bloodruth creator Eric July with Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska--The Hellbound Stagecoach rides into the dark history of the Bloodruth family. A western set in the past of the Rippaverse.
The Wild Dogs are wanted men. Jebediah "Jackal" Jones and his gang are wounded, hunted, and out of options after a train robbery goes sideways--until Jebediah stumbles across a job too good to ignore: escort a woman named Charity Bloodruth and her stagecoach across the Endless Desert for $50,000. The townspeople call her a witch. Warning signs cover every wall. But Jebediah doesn't believe in superstition, and $50,000 is $50,000. He should believe. What waits for them on the journey will test everything the Wild Dogs thought they knew about survival, loyalty, and the forces beyond the mortal world. A standalone western-horror entry that expands the Bloodruth mythology into the deep past of the Rippaverse--generations before Sydnee Bloodruth's modern-day story begins. The modern arc collects in The Definitive Bloodruth Vol. 1 (12/15/26). From Eric July, creator of Bloodruth and founder of Rippaverse Publishing, with writers Jen Soska and Sylvia Soska. Interior art by Philip Burnette (USA, RippaFest winner). Colors by James Frank.Author Biography
