The Conjuring: The Lover is a five-issue prequel series that will set up the events that will unravel in the upcoming movie, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It which will be released on HBO Max on June 4. The comics have been co-written by the movie series screenwriter David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and author Rex Ogle.
The series will explore the tragic backstory of Jessica, a college freshman who returns home anxious about her love life and poor grades. “Jessica soon comes to realize that something evil has made her its target, and it will not rest until it has her in its unholy grip.
