The ‘Hatchet’ Franchise Will Continue With Comic Book Series
Red ink. So much red ink.
Many fans, including myself, have been wondering if we’ll ever again see Adam Green-created monster Victor Crowley slash up the big screen, and though we don’t come bearing news of that sort today, we are very excited to announce that the Hatchet franchise is very much alive and well. Just announced on the Movie Crypt Podcast, a comic book series is soon on the way!
Green revealed the details over on Instagram (@Adam_fn_Green):
Victor Crowley is coming to comics next year! Just in time for HATCHET’s 10 year anniversary, ArieScope and American Mythology have partnered to bring you a SERIES of comics based on the slasher film franchise. That’s a whole lot of new Victor Crowley stories and probably ALL of the red ink the printers can get their hands on. More details and a sneak peek at some of the artwork coming wicked soon!
Yes, you heard right. Brand new Victor Crowley stories!
Fans of the Hatchet franchise may remember that Crowley crossed over with Hack/Slash for the mash-up comic book Hatchet/Slash, which saw the bayou monster do battle with Cassie Hack. The one-off issue, released in 2011, is to date Crowley’s only foray into the world of comic books.
We’ve missed you Victor. We’re glad to have you back.
An ongoing horror anthology series from BOOM! Studios, Hello Darkness is back this summer with Issue #23, and BOOM! has provided Bloody Disgusting with an exclusive sneak peek.
The temperature rises and so does the body count, as the horror anthology series returns for another round of summer slashing in Hello Darkness #23, releasing July 22, 2026.
In “Sunday Pt. II,” Ryan North and Giada Belviso send a Bride of Christ over the deep end into madness.
Then, Rich Douek and Stevan Subic lead you down a bloody path to the old west, where a brash young gunfighter seeks a showdown with “The Man Who Outdrew Death.”
Sink into the cool, briny depths of Kelly Williams’s “Old Wounds” when a grizzled light housekeeper hears the call of the sea one final time.
And finally, serve up a preview platter of erotic thriller “Gastronomique,” as a royal spy, Lady Charlotte, embarks on a cat-and-mouse hunt for the deadly cannibal Tarrare, from Marguerite Bennett and Helena Masellis.
Beat the heat with an all-new pool of fresh nightmares and dive right into horror’s deep end!
Peek inside the bloody pages of Hello Darkness #23 below!
Horror fans rejoice in cadaverous delight, because Hello Darkness is a 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. 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.
