The Twilight Zone #7

(W) Tony Fleecs (A) Andy Price

The Twilight Zone anthology continues with a new standalone issue! Comic book greats bring us fresh stories in chilling black and white, just like the original television show.

This issue: A lonely taxidermist struggles to find solace in his grotesque work. Despite his solitary days, he’s lived a full life. His mother loves him, he runs a successful business, and he’s the local hero who saved his remote village from a recent wildfire. However, his heart still wishes for a companion who won’t be disgusted with his taxidermy obsession. No sooner does he wish it… than the Twilight Zone delivers the girl of his dreams.

Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs, Feral, Uncanny Valley) and Andy Price (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic) guide us to this rustic outpost of the dimension beyond. Don’t stray from the path, dear readers. Anything could lurk in the shadows of the Twilight Zone.

The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #3

(W) Hannah Rose May (A) Kelsey Ramsay

Death is coming for Theo Belmont. As the heir to the throne, all of England has its eyes on him, and the pressure is enough to drive any sober man to the bottle. But it’s not the drink Theo is drowning in — it’s the shadow of something far more evil, something that’s about to take full control of the crown, and then, the world.

That is, until Buckingham Palace calls in a favor. Father Reid has come to London to end the Belmont Curse!

Event Horizon: Inferno #2

(W) Christian Ward (A) Robert Carey

Two centuries ago, after vanishing for seven years, the starship Event Horizon reappeared near Neptune. Possessed by a demonic entity, the ship murdered most of its rescue crew before it was blown in two. One half fell into a portal to Hell and the other stayed in our solar system.

Today, a billionaire, Daniel Durante, leads a crew of private space marines to the wreckage of the Event Horizon to investigate the ship. Durante is dead set on bringing his brother back from the afterlife and the means to do it lies aboard the Event Horizon! But his crew may have something to say about that…

Christian Ward (Event Horizon: Dark Descent, Batman: City of Madness) and Rob Carey (Aliens: Resistance, Outsiders) continue the most anticipated sci-fi horror comic of the year!

SDCC 2026: IDW Dark’s Fatal Fest blends Survival Horror with Hollywood Satire from Hannah Rose May and Andrea Scalmazzi

Posted on by Leave a comment

How far would you go to achieve your dream? Would you kill for it? Creator and writer Hannah Rose May and IDW Dark ready to unleash a first tease at Fatal Fest, her next nail-biting and bold original terror with IDW Publishing‘s horror imprint.

When six emerging horror filmmakers are invited to compete at Fatal Fest, the mysterious festival run by reclusive horror maestro Frank Finch and his legendary production empire, Fatal Films, they discover this is no ordinary film festival. Frank has one simple rule: to create true fear, you must experience it. If they want to win the Fatal Fest, they need to be willing to kill for it. 

Featuring artwork by Andrea Scalmazzi, Fatal Fest is a harrowing and twisted exploration of obsession with IP, the thirst for fame and Hollywood’s ruthless commodification of art. Survival horror collides with culturally relevant satire and readers won’t be able to look away from the brutal ride.

IDW Dark and May will unveil more details about Fatal Fest at San Diego Comic Con in July.

A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #3

(W) Phil Hester (A) Ryan Kelly

Separated by a raging flood and stalked by the last surviving creature on the island, Phair and young Mia fight to stay alive as the storm becomes both their greatest enemy and their only shield. But as the thunder fades, so does their cover — leaving them exposed at the very moment Mia’s brother’s cries give the monster its next target.

Meanwhile, Chief Fry faces the impossible: a ruined bridge, a stranded family, and monsters massing just across the gap. His desperate mission to protect what’s left of civilization ignites a chain of events that will echo straight into Phair’s fight for survival.

Dracula will have to battle his way through the train, confronting his past sins and facing off against the wicked Hazel and Ivy, who are calling the shots for the Nazis…and who have a vested interest in Dracula’s failures.

Seven Wives #1 delivers an interesting premise in a unique setting showing off potential

Posted on by Leave a comment

Forty-nine witnesses, seven wives, one dead husband. On Monday, April 17, at 9:04 a.m., two police detectives are dispatched to investigate a death on a Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints compound in remote Arizona. Matthew Dunn, the patriarch of the Dunn family, has been found stabbed on the pulpit of his temple, basking in the blood-soaked gaze of his savior. Detectives Aguilar and Halwell begin the arduous task of questioning each of Matthew’s seven wives and quickly encounter a brick wall of memorized Scripture, canned platitudes, and locked lips. It becomes clear that the women’s intricately braided hair, voices with sweet affectations, and modest clothing aren’t just signs of Matthew’s brainwashing but armor they use to protect their family. But with each interrogation, the cracks begin to show—the abuse, the truth of living and surviving in this cult—and the detectives uncover the unholy gospel of Matthew Dunn.

Smile: For the Camera #3

(W) Hannah Rose May (A) Miriana Puglia

The party ended with a slash.

A series of tragedies have spread throughout the fashion world, but those in power have been quick to cover them up, leaving Lena and her fellow models to do whatever they can to survive. While Lena tries to run from the disaster, Ivy finds that it’s not so easy. The powerful figures in her industry are hell-bent on profiting off the models — trapping Ivy in this dazzling world that’s set on turning her into another statistic. Is there anyone she can trust? Or will Ivy be trapped in this gilded cage with the Entity on a killing spree?

The modeling industry is full of monsters, not all of them supernatural.

Continue the horrifying journey into glamorous madness with Smile: For the Camera #3, brought to you by horror star Hannah Rose May (The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery), as the Entity reveals the darkness hiding under the blinding lights.

Sleepy Hollow: The Witches of the Western Wood #1

(W) Delilah S. Dawson (A) Jose Jaro

Revisit the world of Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow in this prequel, The Witches of the Western Wood!

Before Mary Van Tassel terrorized the town of Sleepy Hollow with the devilish Headless Horseman, she was Sarah Archer — a young girl trying to survive her witch of a mother. Sarah and her twin are raised in the wild Western Wood, taught the ways of witchcraft, and forced to endure abuse and neglect. But a chance encounter with the hellish Hessian at the moment of his beheading lights a fire in Sarah, giving her the power to overcome those who have wronged her and grow into a fearsome witch.

From Delilah Dawson and Jose Jaro comes the tale of Sarah Archer’s corruption and the Headless Horseman’s first ride.

A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #2 continues the action but also the tragedy of the situation

A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #2

Fire Chief Fry’s pleas went unheard in the last hours of Pearl, Iowa—but in the present, his sister, wingnut mayor Phair, is finally heeding his warning. As she desperately defends what’s left of her town and Fry’s daughter from the invading creatures, Phair wishes more than anything she had listened to her brother when she had the chance. But now…her brother is nowhere to be found. A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #2 is an interesting second issue jumping between two time periods and delivering action, tension, and tragedy.

Written by Phil Hester, A Quiet Place: Storm Warning is a spinoff from the popular film series but thankfully you need no knowledge of the movies to enjoy. Instead, Hester keeps things focused on a small town that could weather the storm and strange creatures but due to incompetence in its leadership, won’t. Hester gives us a sci-fi tragedy in that this is an alien invasion and we’re given a community built to withstand it but chooses not to. Hester’s jumping between times sees the tragedy unfold while also showing off the aftermath of poor decisions.

Hester also provides the layouts while Ryan Kelly handles the pencils and ink along with Lee Loughridge on color and lettering by Nathan Widick. The art does well to match the tone of the story with a gray overcast to it all, matching the tone of the rather sad and frustrating actions within. The action feels tense and the art helps also keeps things focused staying away from broad, grand, views, and instead of framing the action so that the art is right close to what’s going on. You also get a good sense of the emotion of the individuals involved as they celebrate their victories or show their fear.

A Quiet Place: Storm Warning #2 is a solid second issue continuing the story and keeping it accessible for new readers. It delivers a mix of tense action and frustrating tragedy as it an unfolds. It’s enough that it has me wanting to check out the films and see what I’ve missed.
