From the cult-hit team of Adam McGovern and Paolo Leandri comes an all-new series this August that mixes horror, love, and comedy. “Nightworld” follows the tragic tale of the demon Plenilunio rules a castle with his sleepwalking lover Lidia. His only desire is to wake her from her slumber, so he strikes a deal with the evil Empyre. The book looks great with plenty of Jack Kirby influence, and you can check out the preview below with all the details.
Cult-hit creators Adam McGovern and Paolo Leandri (THE NEXT ISSUE PROJECT, Project: Romantic) team up for an all-new series that brings humor, horror, tragic romance, and blockbuster monster fights together in NIGHTWORLD, coming this August from Image Comics.
Sad demon Plenilunio rules a haunted castle with his sleepwalking lover Lidia, and unwisely bargains with the evil Empyre to wake her. He’s in a race for the mystic Soul Key with teen-from-Hades Hotspot and the ruthless Hellena—agents of the Empyre with secret agendas. A four-part thrill ride to hell starts here.
“We couldn’t be happier that our pop-art horror-show saga is at home with Image,” said McGovern. “It’s grindhouse humor and blockbuster visuals like you always wanted comics to be!”
In describing the feel of the art in NIGHTWORLD, Leandri said, “we tried to mix (in real authentic brushstrokes) a cocktail of gothic-horror mood, adrenalized action and personal drama, then garnish with a bit of humor; hope it tastes good!”
NIGHTWORLD #1 arrives in stores on 8/6, and will be available for $3.99. It can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code JUN140485.
