IDW and Hunters Entertainment announce a Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees Tabletop Game

Posted on by

IDW and Hunters Entertainment have announced a new partnership, starting with a brand-new storytelling board game based on the acclaimed, Harvey Award-winning comic series Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees created by Patrick Horvath, published by IDW Publishing.

The game places players in the heart of a seemingly idyllic small town, where every character harbors hidden, dark secrets. When a murder shakes the community, players must work together to unravel the mystery of the crime while simultaneously protecting the skeletons in their own closets. Unlike traditional role-playing games, this experience doesn’t require a gamemaster. Instead, it blends exploration-style board game mechanics with rich storytelling elements, ensuring that every play session feels unique, tense, and deeply immersive.

The Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees – A Storytelling Mystery Game launched on Kickstarter this week. Fans eager to explore the secrets, solve the mystery, and keep their own lies hidden.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees collected edition sells out and gets a second printing

Posted on by

The cozy horror hit of the year went back to the printer.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees – the Eisner-nominated tale from Patrick Horvath and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou about an adorable anamorphic town that hides not one but two serial killers – took the comic book industry by storm. Praise and attention from fans, retailers, and press rose with every chapter in the six issue limited series, and then the collected edition was reported as the top-selling non-big two graphic novel when it debuted in September.  You can catch our glowing review.

The acclaimed collection sold 20k copies, immediately generating a reprint to ensure there’s no gap in availability for readers.

IDW Publishing’s horror imprint, IDW DARK will feature the eagerly anticipated sequel Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring. More details about the sequel will be announced in the months to come.

Is Oni Press teasing Patrick Horvath’s Free For All?

Posted on by

Patrick Horvath is a hot creator with Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees getting praised and receiving award recognition. That series will be getting a follow up through IDW Publishing’s horror imprint IDW Dark, but today Oni Press has teased something else from Horvath.

Coming March 2025 and with the text “In the future, the only thing left to fight for is yourself,” Oni released the below image. Could this be Horvath’s recently crowdfunded Free For All?

Funded through Zoop, that graphic novella’s description:

Welcome to the future. The world is at peace and thriving. Housing, food, education, healthcare… all of the basic requirements for living are now provided for by the World Finance League, and it’s all funded by a lottery. Wealthy citizens of the world are picked at random and given the choice to either donate half of their assets for the greater good of the world, or fight to the death to keep it all. Among these trillionaire gladiators, two former lovers square off in this global arena to settle their differences once and for all.

Regardless of who lives or dies, we all win.

Both mention the “future,” so good chance it’s the same comic… That would make another comic funded through Zoop coming to a major publisher and would also mean the Zoop edition could be extra sought after by collectors.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is a hell of a debut and murder mystery

Posted on by

Don’t. Murder. The locals. This is small-town serial killer, upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong’s cardinal rule. After all, there’s a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you’ve worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm décor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Energon Universe Special #1

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

Ain’t No Grave #1 (Image Comics) – Skottie Young and Jorge Corona teaming for a Western/fantasy? Yeah, we’re down for this.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees #6 (IDW Publishing) – Great art and great concept of taking cute art and mixing it with the serial killer genre have resulted in a hell of a series.

Blood Hunters #1/Dracula: Blood Hunt #1 (Marvel) – Blood Hunt’s debut issue was fantastic and hooked us on Marvel’s summer event involving vampires finally making their move to take over the Earth.

The Boy Wonder #1 (DC Comics/DC Black Label) – Juni Ba makes his mark on Damian Wayne!

Crocodile Black #1 (BOOM! Studios) – A murder during the pandemic, the first issue is an intriguing one setting up a mystery as to what exactly is going on.

Deadweights #2 (Ahoy Comics) – The story about henchmen trying to find their way got us intrigued with the first issue and we want to see where this comedic take goes.

The Deviant #5 (Image Comics) – The series has been fantastic with a Silence of the Lambs vibe that we have no idea where it’s going.

The Devil That Wears My Face #6 (Mad Cave Studios) – Face/Off meets The Exorcist and it has been awesome with every issue. We have no idea how it’s going to conclude and we’re excited to find out.

Energon Universe Special #1 (Skybound) – Released on Free Comic Book Day, the comic gets new covers and if you didn’t grab a copy and reading the Energon Universe comics, this is one you can’t miss!

Faith Returns #1 (Alien Books/Valiant) – We’re excited to see what Faith’s return is all about! Such a great character and we’re hoping for some classic fun.

Mugshots #1 (Mad Cave Studios) – The kidnapping of a young woman sets in motion a chain of events that will set con artists, gangsters, killers and corrupt police on a collision course. Sounds like the type of film we’d sit down to watch and enjoy.

The One Hand #4 (Image Comics) – A great mystery involving a serial killer. If you like that genre, this is one you can’t miss!

Transformers #8 (Skybound) – The second arc has been solid so far and this issue is packed with drama, action, and surprises. It takes some classic concepts and brings them into this new take on the classic Transformers!

The Valiants #1 (Alien Books/Valiant) – There’s a big event coming in the Valiant Universe and we’re diving in to check it all out!
