Author: Justin Madson

Even when our own planet can no longer sustain us, humanity clings to life in this thoughtful dystopia where a single breath of “fresh” air can kill.

Follow the lives of a small cast of survivors as they struggle to keep going in a world where the air carries a fatal virus. A detective must battle his own demons; a pair of siblings question the supposed apocalypse when the impossible happens; a mother and daughter fight tooth and nail to stay together; and a traveling salesman peddles breathing masks, trying to do some good to make up for the sins of his past. In the wake of a growing movement that questions whether the virus in the air is real, they are all survivors—they are all Breathers.

Created, written, and illustrated by Justin Madson, the full nine-issue series and bonus issue #0 are now collected together for the first time, with an afterword by the creator and an extensive cover gallery featuring the Breathers #1 variant cover by Jeff Lemire and Matt Kindt.

The Vineyard : The Complete Series Available September 27

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #TheVineyard – #BrianHawkins – @AfterShockComix –

Author: Brian Hawkins

“THE VINEYARD is a family-owned winery that sows and reaps by the blessing of the great god of wine and revelry, Dionysus. However, the Vines family’s patron god requires complete devo-tion in the form of four sacrificial killings a year before each harvest. This has been done in un-fettered obeisance. But all of that changed when the family’s patriarch, Didache Vines, was in a horrible accident that left him paralyzed and in a wheelchair.

Now, the sacrificial and murderous duties of the Vines family have fallen to wife and matri-arch, Maranatha Vines. With harvest season fast approaching and the family short of their an-nual sacrificial killings, Maranatha’s struggle with her conscience puts all of her family – hus-band, son and daughter – in jeopardy.

Written by Brian Hawkins (Black Cotton, Believe in the Name, Don’t Ever Blink) and illustrated by Sami Kivelä (THE HEATHENS, UNDONE BY BLOOD, Abbott), THE VINEYARD is what happens when family values and otherworldly obligations collide.

This 104-page volume contains the entire series, issues #1-4.

Author: David F. Walker

INTRODUCING BELIAL’ S DEMONIC DAUGHTER — BELILAH!

Victory, Vampirella’s erstwhile lover and inexplicable object of interest to Lilith, is also the not-so-proud owner of the Belial ring. Why does that last part matter? Well, because the ring used to belong to a demon, it draws Victory to evil, and it’s mystically bonded itself to her — permanently. (Lucky her!) On the bright side, it also gives her nifty powers like flying, shooting bolts of mystic energy, and being able to transform that energy into specific shapes like she’s some lost third Wonder Twin. But ever since it landed on her finger, Victory has been wondering why so many demons are trying to kill her to get a ring that she’d just as soon not have. Now she’s going to get an answer, whether she likes it or not, as the ring pulls her into a head-on confrontation with an evil the likes of which she has never known!

Damnation Diaries Available September 5

#horror – #horrorcomics – #comicbooks – #DamnationDiaries – #PeterRostovsky –

Author: Peter Rostovsky

In hell, everyone can hear you scream, but only one person listens.

Hell can get you down. It’s big, hot, often painful, and a hard place to get creative projects done. But something else is bothering inmate PKRx354—something beyond the unrelenting and often absurd torture routines, the demons, or the tormenting trio of his mother, father, and girlfriend also consigned to the Underworld. Luckily there’s help: Fred Greenberg—Hell’s only psychotherapist. With Fred’s stoic and perceptive guidance, the “talking cure” proves productive. That is until a dastardly terrorist act by a mysterious faction threatens the very nature of the Underworld. Will our self-deprecating hero get to the cause of his nagging “ennui?” Will Fred find his own redemption? And will our hero ever find peace, or at least a vacation?

Combining Dante, Douglas Adams, and Freud, Damnation Diaries is equal parts horror comedy and character-driven drama, uniquely converging the look of bronze-age comics with sharp literary satire. The book’s imaginative and surreal landscape serves as a perfect backdrop for caustic social commentary fit for our equally surreal times. The setting may be imaginary, but the urgent issues addressed are not: growing economic inequality, student debt, political crisis, terrorism, and the attempt to find peace under the most hostile of circumstances.
