"In 1891 a mine collapsed into itself. What was the dark substance found 666 feet underground? Blending modern horror, historical fact, and Western lore, Scott Snyder and Dan Panosian have created a uniquely terrifying thriller with Canary."
Following the series' recent digital release, Scott Snyder and Dan Panosian's Canary has been heading to print in "stunning" 56-page oversized issues from Dark Horse Comics. Canary #2 heads to comic book shops on December 20th, but we have a preview that Daily Dead readers can check out right now!
"During the final days of the Gold Rush, one mining company in Colorado pulled up radioactive uranium–and then the mine collapsed in on itself. Legends sprang up about the mine being cursed or even haunted. Now, the Frontier is closed, the gold and silver mines have dried up, the country is becoming “civilized,” and yet, in one stretch of the Rocky Mountains, a terrifying, new kind of violence is suddenly emerging: random killings as people go mad and murder neighbors or classmates without real cause. When a schoolboy kills his teacher with a hatchet, a famous federal marshal named Azrael William Holt is called in to investigate the killings. What he and a brilliant young geologist uncover is stranger and more horrifying than anything they could have ever imagined."
Canary TPB (152 pages, $19.99) is available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local comic shop and bookstore, and will be released to bookstores on June 11, 2024 and in comic shops on June 12, 2024.
