LOS ANGELES, CA (August 27, 2024) – BOOM! Studios today revealed a terrifying first look at HELLO DARKNESS #3, the horrifying continuation to the brand 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.
Try and prepare yourself for another unsettling issue of the nightmarish modern horror anthology everyone is talking about. James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera return for Part 2 of “A Monster Hunter Walks Into a Bar”! And it gets gnarly gross with gruesome gluttony in “Mukbang” from Michael W. Conrad (Wonder Woman) and Martín Morazzo (Ice Cream Man).
The horror of war shows its disturbing face in “Kampfgeist” from Andy Lanning (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Trevor Hairsine (DCeased), while Robert Hack brings more laughs that are just plain wrong with “I Can’t Take You Anywhere”. And the world will never look the same after you read Part 3 of “The War” from the celebrated team of Garth Ennis and Becky Cloonan.
