Exclusive Preview of New Horror Comic Book DID YOU HEAR ABOUT MIMI GREEN? #1, From Connor Goldsmith, Josh Cornillon, Ariana Maher, and Dark Horse Comics

Starting this week with the release of issue #1, Dark Horse Comics presents Did You Hear About Mimi Green?, a new horror comic book series with "a surreal and grisly take on the wellness industry, 'cancel culture', body dysmorphia, and the complex power dynamics of show business." A four-issue miniseries written by Connor Goldsmith (in his comic book debut), illustrated by Josh Cornillon, and lettered by Ariana Maher, the first issue arrives in comic book shops on May 27th, but we have an exclusive preview that Daily Dead readers can check out right now!

Series Synopsis: "Tastemaker Mimi Green is a popular essayist with a perfectly curated social media presence—until a blog post she wrote a decade ago, cruelly mocking fat people, resurfaces and sparks a viral furor. Mimi checks into an isolated mental health facility in Topanga to ride out the scandal, but as sound baths and crystal healings by day give way to restless nights, she’s pulled into another version of the building. There, the halls are old and gluttonous and gilded, and the vainglorious like Mimi and her fellow patients are punished again and again. Only local bartender Natalie, the lesbian lover Mimi hid from the public, stands a chance of tracking her down before it’s too late."

“Developing my first comic with Josh has been a joy, and Ariana's lettering has pushed his gorgeous art even further,” said Goldsmith. “Did You Hear About Mimi Green? is a very personal story, and I'm so grateful Dark Horse understands what I'm trying to accomplish with this book. I am so proud of what we've made, and so excited we can finally talk about it!"

"Working on this story, from its first early germination years ago, to the full-fledged surreal dream that it has become, has been an absolute pleasure, and the chance to build this world from the ground up with Connor has been one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences I've had in my career,” added Cornillon. “I'm so excited that everyone who has had the chance to influence the book, from our brilliant editors, our stunning letterer Ariana, my color assistant Alex Buckland, and our community of supporters, has been able to understand our freaky and twisted vision for this world. I can't wait for readers to meet Mimi, I hope she survives the experience!"
