Posted on by Leave a comment

It’s a holiday tradition: Syzygy Publishing and Image Comics are back to put the dread where the merry used to be. Yes, the fan-favorite one-shot Dread the Halls 2026 is bringing another 48 pages of supernatural horror, pitch-black humor, and ultimate seasonal carnage to comic shops!

Series creators and writers Jordan Hart and Chris Ryall are joined by artists Chris Anderson, Drew Rausch, Fabio Veras, and Well-Bee for four new stories that take everything warm, nostalgic, and comforting about Christmas and send it straight down the chimney.

Dread the Halls’ Annual Celebration of Bizarre Holidays Returns!

For the third annual Dreaded holiday anthology, writer Chris Ryall and artists Drew Rausch and Well-Bee pit elves against werewolves and open a new dimension in terror, while Jordan Hart alongside artists Chris Anderson and Fabio Veras unleash a haunted Christmas tree and bring about a massively oversized nutcracker battle, all underneath horrifically gorgeous covers by Maria Wolf, Hart, and painter Joe Jusko, who offers up a bizarre holiday adventure homage to himself!

Dread the Halls 2026 gets the full holiday wrap treatment with six covers—Maria Wolf: Cover A and the 1:50 Toxic Variant; Jordan Hart: the Wrapped Variant; and legendary painter Joe Jusko gets particularly festive with a Bizarre Variant, a 1:25 Unwrapped Variant, and a 1:100 Foil Variant.

Dread the Halls 2026 brings affection for holiday horror to comics, mixing supernatural scares, monsters, absurdity, and enough Christmas carnage to make the annual family gathering seem almost tolerable.

So pour the eggnog, check the chimney, and keep an eye on the tree. Dread the Halls 2026 (Lunar Code: 1026IM0285) goes on sale December 2, 2026.
