*The Lycan* is inspired by a story from Thomas Jane and screenwriter David James Kelly (known for *Logan*), with a script penned by the acclaimed Mike Carey (famous for *Lucifer* and *The Unwritten*). The stunning artwork comes from Diego Yapur, with vibrant coloring by D.C. Alonso, and meticulous lettering by AndWorld Design.

Here's the official synopsis from Comixology for *The Lycan #1*:
