The first outlet summary promises " a ghost chronicle steeped in the radioactive decay of a century of capitalism , " and the decadent art provided in both previews and the released variant covers suggests that this tarradiddle will be just as haunt as the creators ' previous projects — like , most latterly , Ward’sBatman : City of Madnessfrom DC Comics and Tynion ’s ( with Fernando Blanco)W0rldtr33from Image , among many others .

Between Tynion ’s twisted repugnance writing — which is just as culturally incisive as it is horrific — and Ward ’s colored and surrealist style , Spectregraphwill doubtlessly be unlike anything else on the shelves .
