Writer/artist Maria Llovet returns this February with an all-new series called Luna - and Newsarama has the first look at what's inside. This Midsommar-esque five-issue series follows a young woman in the '60s becoming involved in a hippie cult that's not all 'peace and love' like you might think.
"In this darkly erotic series, an innocent young woman finds herself drawn to a mysterious commune where the search for immortality collides with the true power of enduring love," reads Boom!'s description of the first issue.
"When Teresa fatefully crosses paths with the Family of the Sun, she believes them to be exactly what anyone else in the late '60s would expect - a hippie cult whose leader claims to have met the divine. But secret blood rituals, powerful drugs and sex runneth amok will bring Teresa face-to-face with the truth about the Family, herself and the dark secret behind her dreams."
