More Modern Horror in Your First Look at Hello Darkness #5

BOOM! Studios has revealed a spooky first look at Hello Darkness #5, the horrifying continuation to the new ongoing anthology series featuring what BOOM! Studios is known for–the best in modern Horror, Fantasy, and Mystery, not to mention the darkest stories yet from a murderer’s row of world class creators! Everything from primal fears to modern political horrors will be explored, in the classic style of Creepy and Eerie and the contemporary chills of Black Mirror.

The fresh face of modern horror continues with more terror from the industry’s best! A relationship gets complicated after a photographer takes a picture they shouldn’t have in “Shutter” by Sarah Gailey and Liana Kangas. There’s a double-dose of children’s horror as neighbor girls visit “The Butterfly Field” by Jeremy Bastian and Ziyan Qiu and a long-lost sibling is the subject of “The Search” by Sarah Andersen.

In “The War, Part 5,” by Garth Ennis and Becky Cloonan, David and Nikki take refuge, but quickly learn that there’s more to survival than isolation from the outside world. Meanwhile, Erica Slaughter’s investigation continues in a new Something is Killing the Children adventure, plus hilarious horror from Robert Hack, and more!

NCT 127 Reveals the NINE Variant Covers for Limitless

Z2 ComicsSM Entertainment, and Universal Music Group present Limitless, the new graphic novel from K-Pop megastars NCT 127, and the very first officially licensed K-Pop print graphic novel. The comic introduces a brand new fictional chapter into the lives of all nine members of the global phenomenon. Limitless is available in standard hardcover and deluxe hardcover editions, set to release in summer 2024. The graphic novel is co-written by Reiko Scott with art by Ziyan Qiu and Ana Jimenez. Kayla Felty and colorist Megan Huang are the cover artists. The standard hardcover will come with nine variant covers, each featuring members of NCT 127. The deluxe hardcover will come with nine art prints illustrated by Kayla Felty and a certificate of authenticity.

Presented in the manhwa (South Korean comic) format, Limitless follows NCT 127 in the midst of their world tour, as the group rehearses for its biggest performance in America to date: a sold-out stadium show in New York City. The night before the concert, however, the group encounters mysterious dreams, putting Mar, Johnny, Taeyong, Jungwoo, and Doyoung in otherworldly scenarios. This ultimately creates a reality-crossing mystery that the five—alongside Taeil, Yuta, Jaehyun, and Haechan—will unite to solve. As NCT 127 grapples with this enigma, they must overcome their fear in both the real world and this new, surreal dreamscape.
