More Modern Horror in Your First Look at HELLO DARKNESS #5
When the lights flicker out, what’s waiting for us in the darkness?
BOOM! Studios today 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 including R.L. Stine, Francesco Francavilla, Garth Ennis, Becky Cloonan, James Tynion IV, Werther Dell’Edera, John Arcudi, Ryan Sook, Cullen Bunn, Daniel Bayliss, Sas Milledge, Sarah Gailey, Liana Kangas, Marguerite Bennett, Luana Vecchio, Michael W. Conrad, Martín Morazzo, Andy Lanning, Trevor Hairsine, Steve Orlando, A.L. Kaplan, Genevieve Valentine, Ming Doyle, Jude Ellison S. Doyle, Letizia Cadonici, Sarah Andersen, Chuck Tingle, Robert Hack, and more! 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!
