The Mummy #2B (Titan Books 2016)

The Mummy #2B (Titan Books, 2016) drops you straight into a gritty, myth‑twisted London where ancient power collides with modern danger. Written by Peter Milligan and brought to vivid life by Ronilson Friere, with a striking John McCrea cover, this 28‑page, full‑color issue deepens the saga of Angel, a Ukrainian immigrant who’s trafficked into the UK and finds herself chosen as the host for Nebetah, an ancient Egyptian high priestess. As Nebetah’s presence begins to transform Angel into a mummy, the stakes intensify in a city that feels just as supernatural as it is brutal.

Angel isn’t alone in her fight. She’s pursued not only by the sinister Sect of Annubis, but also by their sworn enemies, The Pyramid Club and Ammit, a massive demonic hell‑hound intent on returning Nebetah to the Land of the Dead. With the soul‑drama escalating and time running out, Angel must seek sanctuary before Nebetah’s will consumes her own, forcing readers to question what it means to retain autonomy when your body houses an ancient, magnetic power.
