Summary: 3-2-1 You’re Dead! Let’s bring in this New Year with a fang! Receiving a New Year’s Eve party invitation to the Janus family mansion was like something out of a dream for Jake and Sylvie. The glitz and glamour of high society was all they thought it would be until they discovered a darker, depraved side to that world and a secret so horrible, so sinister, it was kept locked away, deep inside the bowels of the ancestral home, forgotten, except for that one time of the year, it was allowed to feed. What do you do when people become prey and your only resolution is to survive the night? Don’t let the clock strike dead! Your time just ran out! New Year – New Fears!

In this month’s bountifully bloody issue, join our award-winning team of riotously relentless writers J. Holtham (The Horizon Experiment), Mark Russell (Batman: The Dark Age), and Tim Seeley (Local Man) and delightfully sinful artists Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead) and David Lapham (Stray Bullets) among others as they set out to etch three all-new tales of pain, fright, and retribution into the tombstones that dot the Grave-Digger’s cemetery like so many flies on a moldering corpse. Beware: We’re only six issues in-and the fun is just getting started!
