James Harren unleashes ‘The Demon’ in DC’s latest Next Level series

Jason Blood wrestles with the Demon Etrigan bound to his soul as Hell’s monsters feast on humanity in the shadows.

And here’s another Next Level series that joins DC’s growing line: Ultramega creator James Harren will give us all hell in The Demon, which he will both write and draw. He’ll be joined by colorist Dave Stewart and letterer Clayton Cowles.

It joins other recent Next Level launches like Batwoman, Lobo, Deathstroke: The Terminator, The Fury of Firestorm and Jonah Hex and the Shadow of Death, which I just finished posting about.

And like the Jonah Hex title, this one will also bring some horror to DC Next Level:

The world is infested with a darkness its people cannot see. Beasts from Hell feast on humanity’s soul, sucking it dry and leaving nothing but a shell behind.

Only one person can see these monsters and cast them back to Hell: Jason Blood! But he is a shadow of the man he once was, wandering the world following the face of a wizard long gone and hearing a voice in his head demanding to be let out. 

How can Jason Blood help protect the world from demons when he himself is not sure how to work with the one bound to his soul? Will the Demon Etrigan ever rise again? 

Here’s a look inside:

The Demon #1 arrives in comic shops Oct. 7.
