Posted on by Leave a comment

This summer, Gerard Way and Shaun Simon, the writing team behind Tales from The Umbrella Academy: You Look Like Death and The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem, are back and bringing eerie vibes to a brand-new, surreal comic series, Paranoid Gardens. This six-issue comic will be written by Way and Simon with art by Chris Weston, colors by Dave Stewart, and letters by Nate Piekos. Issue #1 will feature a die-cut cover with art by Weston and a variant cover by renowned illustrator Motohiro Hayakawa. Successive issue variants will feature artwork by Glenn Fabry, James Stokoe, Tradd Moore, Alice Darrow, and David Mack.

Loo is a nurse at the most bizarre care center around. The staff are not entirely human, and the cases downright unearthly. Aliens, ghosts, superheroes, and more creatures plague its hallways as both doctors and patients and the hospital itself seems to be somewhat self-aware. Loo believes that despite a recent failure at her job she’s been given some sort of higher calling in this mysterious place, and decides to rise to the challenge. Along the way, she must fight her way through corrupt staff members, powerful theme park cults, and her own personal demons and trauma to meet this challenge and discover what secrets the gardens hold.

Paranoid Gardens #1 (of 6) arrives in comic shops on July 17, 2024. It is now available to pre-order at your local comic shop for $4.99.

Neil Gaiman, Marc Bernardin, and Shawn Martinbrough team to adapt Anansi Boys to comics

Posted on by

Neil Gaiman’s award-winning novel, Anansi Boys, is getting a comic adaptation from Dark Horse Comics. Adapted by writer Marc Bernardin, the series will also feature art by Shawn Martinbrough, colors by Chris Sotomayor, and letters by Jim Campbell. The first issue will have a main cover illustrated by David Mack and two variants by Martinbrough and Denys Cowan, respectively.

“Fat” Charlie Nancy leads a boring life as a boring Londoner until he discovers two things: That his recently deceased father was, in fact, Anansi, the trickster god of African folklore, and that he has a twin brother he’s never met. All of this kicks off a reality-spanning odyssey of sibling rivalry, jealous deities, and one poor soul who’ll realize that being a god is more trouble than it’s worth.

Anansi Boys #1 (of 8) arrives in comic shops on June 26, 2024. It is now available to pre-order at your local comic shop for $3.99.

From the outside, Darla Lang looks like a normal college student—save for the peculiar voluminous black cloak she wears everywhere. Her peers and professors chalk this up to Darla’s eccentric, introverted, slightly creepy persona, but Darla is a young woman with a secret… and a mission. Darla’s cloak is actually a mystical artifact that she can use as a melee weapon, trapping her enemies inside and teleporting them away. Darla’s power and connection to the supernatural world have always been a curse, and now she’s enrolled in Ivy Hollow University which harbors some dark secrets of its own. Will Darla find within its hallowed halls the answers to the questions about herself and her powers that she’s been seeking? Darkling mixes superheroics with dark academia from writer Sarah Kuhn (Shadow of the Batgirl, Girl Taking Over: A Lois Lane Story) and artist Carola Borelli (Spider-Woman).
