Gideon Falls perfectly meshed themes of horror with a deeply personal narrative and The Passageway improves on this, crafting a story of quietly building menace that works to unnerve the reader. Since their first collaboration nearly a decade ago, Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino have wowed audiences with books such as Gideon Falls and fans of that title will find plenty to love in The Passageway. As tension mounts with Sally, Reed learns of an ancient evil at the bottom of the hole, one that is stirring, ready to be unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Soon plagued by horrifying visions, Reed deepens his investigation, plunging into a downward spiral of terror. The island is rugged and its sole inhabitant, Sally, is hiding something she knows more about the hole than she is letting on. Geologist John Reed arrives at a remote island off the Canadian coast, sent to investigate a large, gaping hole near a lighthouse.

Lemire, who is now exclusive to Image Comics, has reunited with Sorrentino to create a new shared universe, called The Bone Orchard Mythos.

The two came together again for the creator-owned Gideon Falls, a mind-bending, and award-winning, horror comic which they followed up with the science fiction title Primordial. Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino first collaborated on Green Arrow during The New 52 era, injecting it with a gritty aesthetic hearkening back to Mike Grell’s classic run.
