"As spine-chilling creatures create chaos around the globe and slaughter anything that makes a sound, a small island town in the midwest will struggle to survive in silence as the ferocious and seemingly unstoppable extraterrestrial terrors lurk all around them."

From legendary comic book creators Phil Hester (Green Arrow, Swamp Thing) and Ryan Kelly (Lucifer, Local), A Quiet Place: Storm Warning invites readers to experience "an untold chapter of fear, family, and sacrifice set in the terrifying world of the blockbuster films." Ahead of the second issue's release on April 29th from IDW Dark, we have an exclusive preview just for Daily Dead readers:

“As a franchise, I think A Quiet Place stands out for two reasons. Each movie is a relentless torrent of suspenseful action, but with a genuinely moving drama at its core. Secondly, it's an innovative formal exercise in visual storytelling without dialogue,” commented Hester. “With A QUIET PLACE: STORM WARNING, I feel Ryan Kelly and I have replicated those qualities, but in an entirely different medium. We're both midwesterners living along the Mississippi, so the tiny, creature-besieged island town of Pearl, Iowa in this series is in our blood. Also, as creators, the challenge of largely silent storytelling has inspired us to stretch our skills in new and exciting ways, resulting in a horror series unlike any other book on the stands. Just remember to flip those pages quietly. Something unwanted might be listening.”

A QUIET PLACE: STORM WARNING #2: "Fire Chief Fry’s pleas went unheard in the last hours of Pearl, Iowa — but in the present, his sister, wingnut mayor Phair, is finally heeding his warning. As she desperately defends what’s left of her town and Fry’s daughter from the invading creatures, Phair wishes more than anything she had listened to her brother when she had the chance. But now... her brother is nowhere to be found."
