- 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.- Collects Effigy #1-6.
