Launching in February 2025, Dark Horse Comics presents Jumpscare, a new action-horror superhero comic series from Cullen Bunn and Danny Luckert that ties into the Beyond Mortal universe. This four-issue miniseries, written by Bunn, illustrated by Luckert, and lettered by Jim Campbell, takes place after the events of the cosmic horror graphic novel Beyond Mortal and introduces readers to a new horror superhero, Jumpscare.
Strong, fast, and violent horror fan-turned-vigilante Jumpscare can conjure any gore-soaked weapon from any gore-soaked movie she’s watched. With this power, she’s become a force for good in Empire City, hacking her way through ne’er-do-wells and monsters alike. Now, her enemies want her dead, and a mobster-turned-monster, Grindhouse, will do whatever he can to bring her down.
“Hands down, Jumpscare is some of the most fun I’ve ever had writing a comic,” said Bunn. “I absolutely love this character. She’s everything I love about horror movies, everything I love about superheroes, everything I love about comics, all rolled into one character. If you’re a horror fan, get ready to meet your new favorite superhero.”
“Jumpscare was just an absolute mayhem fueled blast to draw. I can’t wait for people to see her in all her horror fueled glory,” added Luckert.
Jumpscare #1 (of 4) stalks into comic shops on February 26, 2025. Issue #1 is now available for pre-order at your local comic shop for $3.99.
