EFFIGY (ALL 7 ISSUES) DC/VERTIGO 2015
----------------------
1- After a sex-tape scandal, former Hollywood child star turned Z-lister Chondra Jackson returns to her hometown of Effigy Mound, IL, to find a seemingly impossible crime - a fresh corpse in an ancient Indian burial site. Even weirder, the murder resembles a scene from an episode of her old TV show, Star Cop, a live-action children's show about a kid detective. As Chondra starts to investigate, she stumbles upon a bizarre cult that worships celebrities as eternal effigies. And these cult members aren't just worshiping - they're also ritually sacrificing anyone who defies their veneration of the beautiful and famous. Chondra's probe takes her on a terrifying tour of burial mounds across the world, from Stonehenge to the Nazca Lines of Peru. But what is the link between the cult, Chondra's hometown, and her own bloodline? Will Chondra become the hero detective she played as a child...or is she in fact the cult's unwitting messiah? Written by rising star Tim Seeley (BATMAN ETERNAL, GRAYSON, Revival) and illustrated by Marley Zarcone (Black Circle, MADAME XANADU), EFFIGY is a twisted murder mystery and conspiracy tale that examines celebrity, godhood, and the price of fame.
2- *Homicide Detective Grant Moore teams with neophyte police officer/resident TV kid cop “expert” Chondra Jackson to piece together the clues left when a strange body is unearthed in Effigy Mound, Ohio. What’s even stranger than an eons-old corpse with a bullet hole in the head is the contents of its body. And when the pair meets a witness, they discover a twisted tie to Chondra’s pre-Hollywood fame. Meanwhile, there’s something odd brewing at The Influence Center bookstore. What is its disturbing connection to the mysterious corpse?
3- Officer Chondra Jackson is teamed with a television-hating homicide detective and an obsessed fan to search for a killer at the "Star Cop Fan Corps Con." Plus, Chondra reunites with a former co-star to get a glimpse of the life she left behind.
4- As Chondra Jackson explores the seedy side of convention culture, Grant pursues a murder suspect who doesn't seem quite himself. Meanwhile, Edie descends into the dark and secret history behind her favorite TV show, Star Cops!
5- Chondra and Detective Moore investigate the mystery behind a suicidal teen and his association with a chain of white-collar how-to shops, as Edie discovers the connections between a murdered super fan and the ancient burial mound in Effigy Mound, Ohio.
6- As Chondra and Grant close in on the murderer of Sheila Harmon, agents of the United Faith Organization close in on them! Faith, celebrity and death collide in the exciting conclusion to the first arc!
7- Behind the vast Eternolos conspiracy is one man: Laurence W. Lauritz; a science fiction author turned cosmic messiah. Witness his humble beginnings in this twisted one-issue flashback courtesy of the creators behind Revival.
