Out NOW: Spectregraph #1 & Blasfamous #2
Today witnesses a sinister treasure trove of blazing-hot comics unleashed both in comic stores and on dstlry.co. First off, psychedelic haunted house sucker punch Spectregraph #1 debuts from the superstar talent team of James Tynion IV (Something Is Killing the Children, The Nice House By the Lake) & Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness).
The plot revolves around a real estate agent, Janie, tasked with selling a sprawling coastline mansion formerly owned by an eccentric, wealthy occultist. The mansion is far from empty, though; within its winding halls sits a infernal machine designed to commit crimes against heaven and science. Also within the mansion: the souls damned by that machine's heretical touch.
A neon body-horror epiphany of flesh and mood, Spectregraph is new canon the top shelf of comic book horror.
We're releasing three new covers today to celebrate the birth of this ghost story:
Spectregraph #1 Cover H by Junko Mizuno, a dstlry.co exclusive in print and digital
Spectregraph #1 Cover I by Jenny Frison (Undressed), a digital ownership benefit cover exclusive to purchase in print or digital for anyone who's bought a previous digital comic
Spectregraph #1 Cover Z by Martin Simmonds (Undressed), a dstlry.co digital exclusive
Hitting a (slightly) more optimistic chord, Mirka Andolfo (Mercy, Sweet Paprika) presents the sophomore chapter of her centuries-spanning horror comedy, Blasfamous. The story features pop stars who strive for divinity, collecting prayers and adulation as their demonic managers pull the puppet strings from the shadows. The first issue introduced a huge plot twist as up-and-coming staduim sensation Clelia encounters a bold and brash new act who threatens her throne—the enigmatic Dorothy.
But Dorothy may not be a stranger...and the sinister demigods in the background may also be put in peril. Andolfo continues her glorious, vivid parody of fame and devotion in this electric fever dream.
