Returned concludes with an all-new 40-page FINALE issue! The FINAL act of a four-part saga written and drawn by Jason Strutz (Returned Parts One, Two, & Three, The House of Montresor, Fobia Anthology, Full Moon Comix, and many more).
Vale was fighting an army of the dead, up until the moment she died herself. As a new member of the growing horde, Vale herself ravaged humanity until ending up where she started. Her home in Drevdalen, and into the arms of the family she fought to protect.
Vale has been not only violently reunited with her partner Hel and son Ragno, but also with her own undead body. With her spirit back in control, she must get Hel and Ragno out of Drevdalen and on to safety if there is any to find in this world.
Part Three finds Vale again separated from her family, this time by her own choice. Determined not to be a danger to them, she has left on her own path to try and do what only she can. While they have been left in relative safety, Hel and Ragno, are forced back into action on their own path fighting the all but complete eradication of humanity.
This is the end! Vale is dead and while that’s nothing new, she seems extra dead now. Meanwhile, Ragno is on his way back into Drevdalen, the epicenter of the mad god intent on ending everything. Vale must find a way to… return.
