SDCC 2026: Patrick Horvath’s Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees gets one more Bloody Act in 2027

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: The Summer and Fall

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is delivering a trilogy when the third volume of the hit horror series kicks off in February 2027. Patrick Horvath returns to the award winning series with Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: The Summer and Fall which will be released by IDW Publishing‘s horror imprint, IDW Dark.

The series has followed Samantha Strong, who lives in a small town running the local hardware store. She’s also a serial killer. The first volume focused on her crimes almost being revealed while the second leaped ahead a few years to the dawn of the internet and bulletin boards where Sam connected with the sister of one of her victims.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: The Summer and Fall jumps ahead to 2004 where small-town America has died, there’s a forever war in the Middle East and Strong, who was once the most wanted person in the country, has now faded into obscurity. Now in her 60s, she’s attempting to live a quiet life off the grid and kills when there’s an opportunity. Will she be recognized and her peace broken?

Before that series kicks off, an Artist’s Edition of Horvath’s original painted work is on sale July 28 and an anthology Halloween Special featuring different creators releases in October.

Fashions fade, but a smile is eternal.

With each runway, the Entity has claimed the life of a new model. But a mind-altering, otherworldly creature isn’t the only parasitic force that Ivy is up against—it’s the entire modeling industry, including the famous predator Perry Rickens.

Now, only Ivy remains, and as she approaches her end, she’s hell-bent on bringing down those who have escaped justice their whole lives. Through increasingly disturbing hallucinations, Ivy works with Alana to break the story of the corrupt modeling world wide open.

Will Ivy Monroe get justice for herself and all of her friends before succumbing to the Entity’s power? Find out in the savage final issue of Smile: For the Camera #5, brought to you by horror star Hannah Rose May (The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery).

Event Horizon: Inferno #3 Answers a Lot of Questions as it Continues its Action Focus

Event Horizon: Inferno #3

Two hundred years have passed since anyone boarded the Event Horizon. Built to advance the human race beyond the known limits of space, the vessel is now a microcosm of Hell. Those trapped there have been experiencing their deaths over and over for two centuries. And you’re about to discover…Hell is a loop to be experienced again and again. Event Horizon: Inferno #3 focuses on the relationship between Starck and the Event Horizon as we learn of the horrors she has endured.

Event Horizon: Inferno #3 continues an intriguing pivot of the series. The film, as well as its prequel series, were squarely in the horror genre with visuals meant to cause unease and scare readers. Event Horizon: Inferno is the Aliens to those other’s Alien. It feels more action oriented forgoing the usual scares and instead delivering a survival narrative as a group must figure out how to escape the ship to safety. This isn’t a bad thing, it delivers something new and different for the series instead of its twisted un-funhouse of hell and horrors.

Written by Christian Ward, Event Horizon: Inferno #3 focuses on Starck and Cooper (mostly) as they endure a Groundhog Day of terror as the Event Horizon attempts to mine the two for the fuel it needs to function. It answers some questions for fans of the property and gives us a Starck that’s battle-tested and ready to break the cycle of terror.

The comic isn’t all roses and bees. Rob Carey‘s art continues with the unease we expect from the property and series. With color by Xenon Honchar and lettering by Alex Ray, Starck and her new found allies must deal with monsters and demons… there’s blood, gore, and a body count. While the comic feels more action oriented, the visuals still leave you enough to remind you this is a ship of hell we’re dealing with. But, overall, it feels a bit dialed back from previous outings.

Event Horizon: Inferno #3 fills in some gaps while it sets up the battle to come as the victims begin to fight their way to safety off the ship. Where it all goes should be interesting and we’re expecting far more twists and turns before it’s over but so far, Event Horizon: Inferno is a worthy sequel.

Haunting Mystery You’ll Never Leave This Place Alive Arrives October from IDW Dark

Five friends. Four houses. One seemingly perfect life… But no one who discovers the truth will leave it alive.

IDW Publishing’s hit horror imprint IDW Dark presents readers with an all-new nightmare on October 14: You’ll Never Leave This Place Alive, wickedly crafted by the Eisner-nominated co-writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing and rising horror artist Heather Vaughan.

Phoebe Joplin has never questioned the world her parents built: a secluded community where she and her friends were raised to be smarter, stronger, and better than anyone else. No distractions. No dangers. No secrets. Until the night of their graduation…

When one of them dies under impossible circumstances, Phee starts to pull at the edges of her perfect life — and finds something far more terrifying than she ever imagined. Because this place isn’t a sanctuary. It’s a cage. And no one who finds out survives.

The paranoia-laced, socially conscious horror mystery will leave readers questioning reality… and reveal this crafted world is more of a nightmare than the idealistic dream its residents were expecting.
