"The Necromancer" is a comic book published by the Top Cow imprint of Image Comics.

The comic is written by science fiction author turned comic writer Joshua Ortega with art on the first series by Francis Manapul.

Overview

The story has been described by some as a 'dark version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' While not an entirely accurate description, it is undeniable that Ortega's writing has some of the same elements -- a teenage girl dealing with destiny and the supernatural -- as Joss Whedon's Buffy did.

"Necromancer" was originally announced back in 2001 with Top Cow president Matt Hawkins as the writer and Brian Ching on art chores.

"Necromancer" returned in the 2007 "Pilot Season" program from Top Cow.
