Curse the Darkness and Stay Alive in Borealis

Posted on by

Dark Horse Comics invites readers to the icy, dark winters of wild Alaska where the temperatures can drop to seventy below zero, and somewhere in the frozen wilderness, unearthly horrors are emerging. Screen and comics writer Mark Verheiden and writer/actor Aaron Douglas join forces with artist Cliff Richards and colorist Guy Major to face the haunting legends of Alaska and tell the bloodcurdling tale of Borealis.

Welcome to remote Qinu, Alaska, home to four thousand isolated residents and a world of bad memories for Alaska State Trooper Silaluk Osha, aka Sil. A series of horrific murders has pulled her back to Qinu after thirteen years to face her dark past and discover her own frightening connections to mysterious and deadly legends.

For fans of the crime and horror genres, and for readers brave enough to enter a world most of us will never experience, see it all through the eyes of Sil when Borealis #1 (of 3) arrives in your local comic shop on December 20, 2023 for $3.99. Pre-order today!
