‘Dead by Daylight’ Expands to Comic Books Next March
First, Behaviour Interactive expanded into dating sims with Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim. And now, they’re looking to take Dead by Daylight into comic books next year with the help of Titan Comics.
Scheduled for release in March 2023, and written by Harvey Award winner Nadia Shammas (“Squire”, “Where Black Stars Rise”), with art by Dillon Snook (“Bluefall”), the Dead by Daylight comic book will introduce readers to fan-favourite Killers The Legion. Comprised of a close-knit group of four troubled teenagers including high school dropout Frank, small-town girl Julie, practical joker Joey, and the shy and naive Susie, the story will explore The Legion’s relationship as they navigate the darkness within themselves and the world around them.
“Comic books hold a special place in my heart as with many people on the team,” says Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships for Behaviour Interactive. ” What an awesome time for Dead by Daylight, appearing in this format for the first time. The Legion is quite an interesting set of characters. They are great to dig into since they embody the very universal themes of teen angst, rage and revenge. Seeing our stories and characters coming to life on the page is a wonderful feeling and we hope our fans will appreciate it as much as we do.”
Meanwhile, Dead by Daylight‘s annual Halloween event is still on until November 3.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
