BOOM! Studios has revealed our first look at the February issue of Hello Darkness, 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.
Return to the darkness with the final chapter of Garth Ennis and Becky Cloonan’s The War, James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera’s Something is Killing the Children: A Monster Hunter Walks into a Bar, and Robert Hack’s I Can’t Take You Anywhere. Marguerite Bennett and Luana Vecchio team up for a story about a woman’s vengeance in Stealth, and Jordan Thomas and Shaky Kane prove there are no shortcuts to perfection in You Can’t Cheat 10,000 Hours.
The latest issue features a main cover by Miguel Mercado (The Amazing Spider-Man), and variant covers by Jenny Frison (Something is Killing the Children) and Jeremy Bastian (Cursed Pirate Girl), and a special BOOM! Studios 20th Anniversary variant by Dan Mora (Once & Future).
