This March DC Comics will, for the first time, collect together the first six issues of James Tynion IV’s critically acclaimed The Nice House on the Lake. The collected edition arrives perfectly in time for fans to catch up as the first issue of the series’ second arc arrives the same day.
The series features artwork from Alvaro Martinez Bueno, colours by Jordie Bellaire and letters by Andworld Design.
Everyone who was invited to the house knows Walter—well, they know him a little, anyway. Some met him in childhood; some met him months ago. And Walter’s always been a little…off. But after the hardest year of their lives, nobody was going to turn down Walter’s invitation to an astonishingly beautiful house in the woods, overlooking an enormous sylvan lake. It’s beautiful, it’s opulent, it’s private—so a week of putting up with Walter’s weird little schemes and nicknames in exchange for the vacation of a lifetime? Why not? All of them were at that moment in their lives when they could feel themselves pulling away from their other friends; wouldn’t a chance to reconnect be…nice?
Take a look at the collected edition cover art and preview pages in the gallery below:
“I’ve always thought of myself as a horror writer…I like taking the things that I’m afraid about and turning them into monsters for my characters to grapple with,” says Tynion IV. “In superhero comics, you can always turn away at the last minute, and boil that conflict down into people in fun costumes punching each other. The Nice House On The Lake is trying to hit at deeper nerve, and the goal is to reach that final last moment and sit with the horror rather than turning away.”
The Nice House on the Lake is a 12-issue maxiseries which hails from DC’s Black Label imprint. Pre-order your copy of Volume 1 now.
