New York Comic Con week has arrived! IDW Publishing will be at the show with can’t-miss signings and exclusives at booth #4551, plus a panel that’ll have the entire industry talking (Friday morning, 11:15am in room 406.2). To celebrate the big show, IDW has at least one major announcement planned for every single weekday. While they can’t spoil any secrets (yet), they have teased there will be big news for fans of Star Trek, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, horror, and a major reveal they cannot wait to declassify during the panel.

To kick off the week-long celebration, IDW’s infecting its entire publishing line with the ambitious initiative IDW Goes Dark. The best-selling horror print is taking over with a truly sinister selection of new horror comics throughout all of 2027, featuring Hello Kitty, Sonic the Hedgehog, Godzilla, Star Trek, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and new original nightmares from the imprint.

The terrifying takeover with IDW Goes Dark will also feature A Quiet Place: Rising Tides, The Twilight Zone, Any Given Smile, Event Horizon: Pandemonium, as well as the upcoming already-announced originals Fatal Fest and Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: The Summer and the Fall. Fans at NYCC, don’t miss the exclusive ashcans for Fatal Fest #1 and You’ll Never Leave This Place Alive #1 at the IDW booth before they sell out.

More details lurk in the shadows for now, but IDW has teased there will be a spine-tingling surprise for horror fans at the IDW panel this Friday

The Twilight Zone #10

(W) Charles Soule, Rosemary Soule (A) Sean Peacock

Listen closely… but don’t trust all that you hear, or you may fall victim to the same fate as our latest protagonists.

Entering a fraternity basement is risky business on the best of days, but when our two young heroines venture down on a dare, they discover more than the remnants of past hazing rituals. They find a labyrinthine Cold War bunker… and it’s not empty. Whispered secrets and paranoia of a bygone age live on in this forgotten place. Would you set them free? Or trap them forever… in the Twilight Zone?

Written by Charles Soule (Daredevil, Eight Billion Genies, Lucky Devils) and Rosemary Soule (Star Wars) with art by Sean Peacock (Blood Honey, Romeo & Juliet & Godzilla).

Can our protagonist truly leave the Twilight Zone?

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.

Piper can’t take care of herself. She barely eats, and her apartment is a mess. In a last desperate attempt to quick-fix her life, she decides to order a food delivery service. But her first delivery includes an unexpected arrival: an unsettlingly baby-shaped vegetable. Its pudgy plant hands and feet may be too cute to eat, but Piper is about to learn that caring for another is far more complicated than caring for yourself. Especially if you love the other more than yourself…
