Dwellings #3 sees the series return to the scene of the crime for one FINAL scare as readers are welcomed back to Elwich—where murderous and horrifying secrets sleep just below the pristine surface, slithering in the shadows of this otherwise quiet and idyllic small town.

Readers with coulrophobia beware: in this issue, creepy clowns are quite the scare! See for yourself the shock, terror, and fun (?!) that is . . . Jay Stephens’ DWELLINGS.

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.

Battle Action #1 (Rebellion/2000AD) – Garth Ennis doing more war comics, nuff said.

Children of the Vault #1 (Marvel) – The Children of the Vault want to be humanity’s salvation but what’s their motivation? The Fall of X continues!

Comic Books Kill #1 (Scout Comics) – Comics creator Jack Levi places his life and career on the line when he begins an affair with the femme fatale lover of his mafia boss publisher. An intriguing concept and idea.

Con & On #2 (AHOY Comics) – The first issue had you guessing what real life event/person everything was based on and we’re excited for more of that in the second issue!

Dwellings #1 (Oni Press) – Jay Stephens has a hit with this as it’s already allocated and getting multiple printings.

The Enfield Gang Massacre #1 (Image Comics) – Montgomery Enfield and his gang of outlaws find themselves in the crosshairs of an aging Texas Ranger and a newborn county that’s hungry for law. Always cool to check out a new modern Western.

Knight Terrors #3 (DC Comics) – The event has been intriguing and we’re wondering where it’s all going.

The Madness #1 (AWA) – Government sponsored superheroes are sent to assassinate a thief but take out her family instead. Now, she’s out for revenge.

Scarlett Couture: The Munich File #1 (Titan Comics) – We’re big fans of Des Taylor’s art style and excited for this series.

WildC.A.T.s #10 (DC Comics) – Wildstorm’s characters are brought into the DCU and it works! The series has been a hell of a lot of fun so far mixing up classic characters.

You’ve Been Cancelled #3 (Mad Cave Studios) – The series has been full of action and laughs. It’s just kinetic insanity and we’re here for it.

Black Eye Books Kickstarts Jay Stephens’ First Comic Series in Over 20 Years

Posted on by
Dwellings

Black Eye Books has launched Harvey and Eisner-Award nominated cartoonist Jay Stephens first ongoing comic book series in over twenty years. The first issue is currently available on Kickstarter. The project has already passed its goal and ends on October 31.

Blending retro cuteness with classic small-town horror, Dwellings will feature one complete and self-contained story each issue. The first issue features a tale of murder and crows entitled They Know.

Set in southern Ontario, Dwellings is a series of horror tales, lovingly drawn in a vintage comics style to most perfectly invoke those half-remembered terrors of youth. The true meaning of the word nostalgia is, ‘to return home in pain’. So lets get nostalgic, shall we?

Dwellings will be printed for a December release as a 36 page, full-color, stapled comic book, and is being offered to readers as a pre-order via crowdfunding. The digital edition starts at $5 Canadian (about $4 in US dollars) with a print copy being $10 Canadian (about $8 in US dollars) plus shipping. Also available are signed copies, previous releases from Stephens, inked blue-line production art, and more.
