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.

[edit] 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.[1] Ortega provided the script[2] [3] and Jonboy Meyers took over on art, as Manapul was on exclusive contract to DC.[4]
[edit] Collections
The first series was collected into a trade paperback in April 2007 (ISBN 1582406480).[5]
