Mankind is capable of being more malicious than monsters, as seen in Nightbreed #3, the third issue in BOOM! Studios’ new comic book series from Clive Barker and Marc Andreyko. The latest issue hits comic book store shelves today, and we have a handful of preview pages from the latest issue:
“WHY WE LOVE IT: Comics are full of outcast characters, but this is an outcast story, Clive Barker-style. True to this modern horror master’s other work, NIGHTBREED is full of horrifying creatures that captivated us in the 1990 film and live on in this new story. Plus, writer Marc Andreyko is a HUGE fan of NIGHTBREED!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Before FABLES, before ONCE UPON A TIME, Clive Barker created a secret town of monsters that live among us. Don’t worry if you’ve never seen the film—Barker and writer Marc Andreyko (BATWOMAN, MANHUNTER) have crafted a story that all horror fans can enjoy. Add to the mix Piotr Kowalski’s art (MARVEL KNIGHTS: HULK, SEX) and this is a story that can’t be missed.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: The Nightbreed is a secret society of monsters and misfits that hide away from humans, but have been a part of this world since time immemorial. Explore both the past and the present of this clandestine tribe, unleashing new secrets and horrors as they fight to coexist with mankind.”
Clive Barker’s Nightbreed #3
Writer(s): Clive Barker, Marc Andreyko
Artist(s): Piotr Kowalski
"The evil of mankind corrupts, as holiness is birthed by demon. Chocolat must escape persecution from the local church in an attempt to save her hatchlings. In the time of peace and love, a young Ashberry comes into puberty under the judging of eyes of the Lord. Boone must learn that the monsters you see with your eyes are far less scary than those hidden under the guise of man."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
