SOMETHING NEW

NEW COMICS

WEDNESDAY 9^TH OCTOBER

So many new series arriving this week, where to begin! How about with a truly unexpected Halloween treat, Afterlife with Archie - the buzz surrounding this series has been amazing, who would have thought Archie could lend itself  to horror? It's a match made in Hell, apparently.  ;-) Speaking of horror, new Vertigo series Coffin Hill looks like it could be another winner for the revitalized DC imprint, and of course the big news of the week belongs to zombilicious The Walking Dead - the 10th anniversary special edition of issue #1 you've all been anxiously waiting for is finally here, along with plenty of variant covers for #115, and a spotlight issue for prominent tv character Tyreese! 

I've been eagerly anticipating the release of Kieron Gillen's new Ancient Greek epic Three, told from a very different perspective of the Spartans than Frank Miller's 300, and Rocket Girl, which looks to be a beautifully illustrated and fun science fiction mystery series. There's also a double sized issue of Batman and new Forever Evil, lots of action over at Marvel with the Infinity event and its many crossovers, the finale of America's Got Powers, and the next issue of all-ages favourite Hero Bear and the Kid.  What are you excited to read this week? Talk to us on Twitter @DavesComics!

Gasp in horror as Riverdale faces an impending zombie Arch-pocalypse in this brand-new, spine-tingling ongoing series -- but be warned, kiddies, this one's not for the faint of heart!

COFFIN HILL #1 

 COFFIN HILL stars Eve Coffin, a rebellious, teenage lowlife from a high-society family with a curse that goes back to the Salem Witch trials. Following a night of sex, drugs and witchcraft in the woods, Eve wakes up naked, covered in blood and unable to remember how she got there. One friend is missing, one is in a mental ward-and one knows that Eve is responsible.  After a stint as a Boston cop that ends in a bullet wound and unintended celebrity, Eve returns to Coffin Hill, only to discover the darkness that she unleashed ten years ago in the woods was never contained. It continues to seep through the town, cursing the soul of this sleepy Massachusetts hollow, spilling secrets and enacting its revenge.
Set against the haunted backdrop of New England, COFFIN HILL explores what people will do for power and retribution. Noted novelist Caitlin Kittredge, author of the Black London series, brings a smart, mesmerizing style to comics. Artist Inaki Miranda (FABLES) brings his dynamic storytelling to COFFIN HILL, following an acclaimed run on FAIREST.
