Studio 407 a new creator driven comic company is proud to announce their release of the new horror comic Night & Fog.
Night & Fog is a six-issue miniseries that takes its cue from classic horror literature and turns it on its head, reinventing the monster comic for a new generation. On an island off the coast of Canada, a military science experiment, linked to a terrible secret from the past, infects a nearby village, turning the inhabitants into bloodthirsty, rampaging creatures. Even armed with the state-of-the-art weaponry, the military personnel on the island are helpless against creatures who are almost impossible to destroy and can adapt under almost any attack. They’ve created the perfect killing machine that can survive under any conditions, but they no longer have the means to control them. For the small band of survivors, it’s one terrible, endless night, which they must somehow survive until an elite rescue team can arrive to save them.
Written by Alex Leung and Matthew Bradford, with artwork by Argentine artist Roberto Castro Night & Fog will be hitting comic book shelves in late May.

I’ve waited a long time to read this book. I remember seeing Ascend on the shelves a few years back, just amazed by the beauty of an angel spreading transparent wings in a sea of green. I’m fascinated with angels, which probably explains why Marvel’s Archangel is my favorite character. (That and the fact I could probably write Warren better than anyone who has tried.) Anyway, I read through some of Ascend at the store, and was immediately lost. There was no hook in the writing, and I couldn’t concentrate with the angels looking so life-like and dreamy. Also, I couldn’t read it all because the guy at the counter had an iron claw in getting folks to buy the book or leave the store…

Joss Whedon loves lesbians! We all love lesbians, lesbians love lesbians, so why shouldn’t Buffy Summers find out what all the fuss is about? In the Buffy Season 8 comic I was afraid Buffy was going to bang Xander, which would have been gross because it would have been like her banging her brother, but I should have known better. If you have been following the Buffy comic then you know that the character Satsu developed a crush on our slayer and in the newest issue Buffy decides to switch sides and I’m not talking the evil side.
Our last day ends on 30 Days of Night, the graphic novel that has spawned many sequels, a short film series, and the major motion picture. This is Steve Niles most successful piece of literature, and has set the new standard in telling the tale of the vampire. Special Thanks to Steve Niles, IDW Publishing, and Dark Horse Comics for their help in bringing this Horror Yearbook special, 5 Days of Steve Niles, to life. And now for our Comic Book Spotlight:
The world as we know it has changed. Vampires are no longer hiding underground thanks to a book written about them. Humanity is on the brink of being swallowed into the shadows as the feeders of flesh make their presence known in a small town known as Barrow, Alaska. Hope is now a dream and the day falls short as a savior. Welcome to the longest of nights…
THURSDAY THIRST – STEVE NILES - Day 4. Steve Niles is probably the busiest horror writer these days with comic books coming out almost weekly. This Thursday Thirst showcases some of the current books Steve has coming out monthly on comic book shelves now.
Day 3. After 30 Days of Night, Steve Niles had an itch he needed to scratch. That itch had a name, and it was Cal McDonald, and ever since then, Steve has been itching Cal like a bad case of chicken pox. Guy needs to see a doctor, right? Nope. Criminal Macabre features Cal McDonald in a series of supernatural detective stories, trying to figure out why every ghoul, ghost, vampire, and evil monster wants to mess around with humanity. It’s a hard job, and Cal appears to struggle throughout, handling a nice drug addiction, countless beatings, and defining the term “alcoholic” to new heights. Or maybe depths? I don’t know. What I do know is Steve Niles has a muse, and Cal McDonald is his name. Welcome to Criminal Macabre.
