We are now just weeks away from the release of Halloween: The Game, a brand new video game based on John Carpenter’s original classic that releases digitally on September 8.
While you wait, Halloween: The Game is taking a new shape with a comic book series.
Daily Dead has exclusively announced the upcoming comic book series this afternoon, with Halloween: The Game Comic headed our way from Illfonic and PANICK Entertainment.
The comic book “takes readers back to the terrifying events surrounding Halloween 1978, offering a new story featuring Michael Myers at his most relentless.”
Here’s the official synopsis: “On the night before Halloween 1978, Michael Myers orchestrates a brutal escape from Smith’s Grove Sanitarium, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. As Dr. Loomis realizes pure evil is loose, Michael begins his relentless journey home toward Haddonfield, slaughtering anyone unfortunate enough to cross his path.”
“The new comic series expands upon the world and characters of the new Halloween video game while delivering a standalone horror story inspired by the mythology and atmosphere that made the original 1978 film a landmark of the genre.”
Halloween: The Game Comic is written by Hans Rodionoff and Adam F. Goldberg, featuring art by Eamon Winkle, Robert Nelson, Ivan Dedov and Sean O’Toole.
The team previews, “This is classic Michael Myers unleashed, and we think fans are going to love getting a glimpse of some truly spine-tingling moments that were not seen in Carpenter’s original film.”
Halloween: The Game Comic #1 will release November 4, 2026.
The first issue of the comic book series will also be included digitally with the Digital Deluxe Edition and physically with the Limited Collector’s Editions of Halloween: The Game.
