Dark Horse Books presents the Where Monsters Lie Omnibus, a new paperback edition collecting Volume 1, Volume 2, and the final chapter from the wildly successful Kickstarter of the hit meta-horror-comedy. Written by Kyle Starks, illustrated by Piotr Kowalski, colored by Vladimir Popov, and lettered by Josh Reed.
Haven’t you always wondered what slasher monsters—the masked home-invasion family, the mindless unkillable monster, the serial killer trapped in a doll—do for those couple of years in-between their murder sprees? They’re at Wilmhurst—a gated community in the middle of nowhere where they relax—or try to—until they get the call to go out and kill again.
Connor Hayes survived his first slasher in summer camp. A handful of years later, he barely escaped a psychopath who built torture puzzles for his victims. Since then, he has been training and planning to run into these creatures again. He’s a respected special agent. And now that he knows where the monsters lie, he’s planning for war.
Where Monsters Lie Omnibus(paperback, 280 pages, 6.625” x 10.1875”) arrives in comic shops and bookstores on January 19, 2027. It is now available for preorder from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore for $29.99.
Where Monsters Lie: Dead End is a 52 page, full color comic with EIGHT pages of backmatter — a 60 page comic — that tells the tale of Special Agent Connor Hayes, a final girl turned monster hunter as he tries to finally end the monster menace on Earth. And that means, among other places, taking his fight straight to Hell itself.
A time-traveling fixer chasing an unpublished feminist classic, a servant girl transformed by a mysterious book, and a killer in Gilded Age New York…All bound by one impossible thread.
When Aubrey Street arrives in 1891 looking for a feminist masterpiece that won’t be published for almost 100 years, she worries that 1981 might be rejecting her. Aubrey is a Liquidator—her job is to fix glitches in time. She just wishes she could fix the glitches in her life. In another part of Gilded Age New York, John Hawksmore plans to kill a servant girl whose life has been turned upside down by the book she found in her employer’s library. Somehow, all their lives are connected. They just don’t know it yet…
In the middle of his 2025 solo tour of North America, Bruce Dickinson was simultaneously hard at work crafting the next volume in his graphic novel saga, The Mandrake Project. This next installment is sure to send readers reeling, as everything they thought they knew about the world of Necropolis and Dr. Lazarus is turned on its head as the second book descends deeper into a world of surreal and mystical madness.
Z2 has announced the impending release of The Mandrake Project: Year Two as the war between magic and science for the control of immortality reaches a hallucinatory fever pitch. Starting with a near-death experience that propels Necropolis into a parallel world where he learns the dark secrets of his twisted family tree, he’s exposed to revelations that leave him shocked, wondering if he can escape the family legacy of self-destruction in the name of ambition, or if he is simply a cog in a greater cosmic machine, controlled by supernatural forces?
The Mandrake Project: Year Two is written by Dickinson and Tony Lee, art by Staz Johnson and Piotr Kowalski, a cover by Bill Sienkiewicz, and edited by Rantz A. Hoseley.
The 184 page volume also includes an extensive series of interviews and essays recounting Dickinson’s life on tour supporting The Mandrake Project album in 2025, as well as insight with the creative team into the development of this next terrifying chapter of the Mandrake Saga. With an introduction by Avil director Sacha Gervasi, the 12”x12” Deluxe and Platinum Editions are housed in an elegant die-cut slipcase and are bound with a sealing ribbon and gilt paper edging. The oversized Deluxe and Platinum Editions also include a holder inside the back cover that contains four new foil collectors cards and a new edition of the antiqued metal Mandrake Project medallion held by Dr. Lazarus in the comic. This book is the must have item for all lovers of Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, and supernatural tales!
Continuing the tradition of heralding the influences contained within the saga of The Mandrake Project, Year Two also contains an extensive article on Wilhelm Reich, the sociologist and mystic whose controversial work led to him being imprisoned by the FBI, where he died in jail in the 1954.
The Bruce Dickinson-signed oversized 12”x12” Deluxe editions and signed platinum editions both come with collector cards and Mandrake Coin in a die-cut slipcase with foil page edging, and will be available directly from Z2 at Z2Comics.com, while a 9”x9” smaller hardcover edition without slipcase will be available via Z2’s retail partners Amazon and Barnes and Noble in the United States, and at HMV UK, as well as many independent comic and music shops worldwide.
