Dan Brereton‘s Nocturnals: The Sinister Path #1 is this year’s Dark Horse Trick-Or-Read comic! Trick-Or-Read is a yearly event hosted by Penguin Random House where they provide comic shops with free comics to hand out to customers every October. With content ranging from All Ages, Ages 13+, and Mature Readers, comic fans of any age can visit participating comic shops to pick up free comics and support their local stores.

While the town sleeps, evil rises. A war is fought for soul of Pacific City by monsters, human and supernatural. But some of the monsters are on our side. The Nocturnals, led by Doc Horror, his daughter Evening, and their band of misfit vigilantes, are all that stand against an eldritch criminal underworld.

The death of the mysterious Judge Hemlock opens a macabre power vacuum in the eldritch underworld of Pacific City. When The Nocturnals—Doc Horror, Evening, and armed revenant, the Gunwitch—investigate the occult-enshrouded Hemlock house, what they find will lead them down a twisted and deadly sinister path.

Celebrate Halloween early this year when Nocturnals: The Sinister Path #1 (of 4) releases in stores on September 3, 2025. It is now available to preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99. Or pick up Nocturnals: The Sinister Path #1 (Trick-Or-Read) from participating comic shops for free this October.

Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt, Bill Crabtree, and Jim Campbell scream with glee with The Midnite Show

Posted on by

Supernatural horror fans can scream with glee as Dark Horse Comics presents an entirely new taste of terror in The Midnite Show. The four-issue series reunites the creators of The Sixth Gun, Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt, and Bill Crabtree. Joined by letterer Jim Campbell, they tell the tale of a cursed movie production and the horror fans caught in the creepy creature crossover dead set on bringing their nightmares to life.

Basil Saxon is a legend among horror fans. Over fifty years ago, he vanished during a freak accident on the set of the film that would have been his masterpiece. The cursed film–God of Monsters–was never completed and has never been seen. But when a film festival shows footage from the long-lost movie, classic horror monsters manifest to wreak havoc and terror on the unsuspecting populace. A ragtag group of misfits must band together to stop the most famous creatures of all time and send them back to the realm of celluloid nightmares.

Readers get a front row seat to the kind of grindhouse gothic horror that you’d hope would stay firmly in the imagination, as the would-be victims struggle to survive in a world where the dangerous, infamous monsters of the silver screen have found their way into real life. Fans of The Sixth Gun, Harrow County, and Manor Black will enjoy a story that’s the most fun you can have while terrified.

The Midnite Show #1 (of 4) with cover (and interior) artist Brian Hurtt will be in comic shops October 4, 2023 The issue also features variant covers by Dan Brereton and Francesco Francavilla. It is available for pre-order now at your local comic shop for $3.99. Popcorn not included.

The Last Battle

Story by: Tito Faraci Art By: Dan Brereton
Price: $7.99

In 52 BCE, General Caius Rodius, retired hero of Caesar’s Legions, is called back to war. In nearby Gaul, Rome’s combined armies lay siege to the Gallic stronghold of Alesia in a conflict fated to shape history. A third barbarian horde prepares to attack the Romans from without, led by the rebel Cammius, who once fought for Rome. Rising star Julius Caesar dispatches Rodius to track through the wilderness and bring back the rebel’s head. Who better to hunt Cammius than the man who taught him the very skills he now uses to defy Rome? Rodius must choose between duty to Rome and Caesar or the barbarian he raised as his own son.

Story by international comics legend TITO FARACI (Diabolik, Spider-Man: The Secret of Glass, Daredevil and Captain America), art by award winning, multiple Eisner nominee DAN BRERETON (NOCTURNALS, Punisher, Marvel Ultimate Team,-Up, God-Sized Thor, Red Sonja).
