30 Days of Night Deluxe Edition: Book Three

Authors Steve Niles, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Ben Templesmith
Illustrated by Justin Randall and Bill Sienkiewicz; Ben Bishop

In the waning moments of 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, Stella managed to bring her vampire husband Eben back from beyond…only he came back hungry. Now, for the first time, see what happened next in Eben and Stella, which fills in the black gaps between that tale and Return to Barrow. Written by co-creator Steve Niles and Kelly Sue DeConnick with art by Justin Randall.

Then, in Red Snow from co-creator Ben Templesmith, it’s 1941. Hitler’s Operation: Silver Fox has failed, but the war on the Eastern Front drags on as the Russian winter starts to bite. British military attaché Corporal Charlie Keating observes the war from the Soviet side, making sure crucial supplies get through to aid Stalin’s front in the battle against the Nazis. With luck, he too will survive to see the end of the war. But something else is out there, and it’s not the Nazis.

In the third story, Beyond Barrow from Steve Niles and Bill Sienkiewicz, after years of attacks and several without, the citizens of Barrow have become united against random attacks on their city by the undead. Unfortunately, the same does not apply outside the town throughout the rest of the mysterious Arctic Circle. Forget everything you ever thought you knew about 30 Days of Night and return to Barrow.

​During San Diego Comic-Con 2025, IDW Publishing announced the ambitious and fan-focused plans for the future of the acclaimed and best-selling line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) comic books.

After an incredible ongoing series run from Jason Aaron and Juan Ferrerya, the high-quality, heartfelt and exciting storytelling that fans deserve won’t miss a beat with the arrival of an all-star duo: Eisner-winning writer Gene Luen Yang and blockbuster artist Freddie E. Williams II. Also joining the line is Group Editor Jake Thomas, formerly of Marvel. Starting their run with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #13 in December, this all-new story arc will provide fans with a fresh jumping on point as the Heroes in a Half-Shell are back together and hopeful about the future of the city, but there’s a dark and personal danger lurking in the shadows as a deadly new assassin makes their debut.

To celebrate the new era with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #13, there will be a special blind bag variant for collectors, featuring exciting variants by amazing creators like Daniel Warren Johnson, David Nakayama, Clayton Crain, and more. Additionally, an annual issue, from writer Kenny Porter and artists Michael Shelfer and Maria Keane, will be released in October to bridge the gap between both runs. The special annual issue will also kick off the TMNT holiday-themed variant line, with festive and fun covers by Jared Cullum across various TMNT titles, with this first one celebrating Halloween!

Before the Turtles begin their new mission in the ongoing series, they’re stepping into a multidimensional tournament! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Battle Nexus is an action-packed five-week event kicking off in November.

Stomping its way into comic shops this November is a crossover even bigger than the Technodrome itself: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Godzilla! From the innovative minds of writer Tim Seeley and artist Fero Pe comes a jaw-dropping blend of the two pop culture franchises as it’s revealed the Foot Clan exists to stop the onslaught of kaiju attacks, but Shredder and General Krang have different plans to give mutagen a giant upgrade.
