A new week coming and a new set of releases from Dark Horse Comics.

B.P.R.D.: 1948 #1

The Nazi occult bureau threatened to destroy the peace that followed the end of World War II. One year after the war, Professor Bruttenholm, guardian of the child Hellboy, enlisted a special task force to connect the dots between a series of massacres and a mad vampire nobleman. Now the B.P.R.D. launches an investigation of an atomic-fueled space-travel experiment that’s apparently unleashed horrific monsters in the Utah desert.

* Dark Horse Horror gets under your skin.

The end of the secret origins trilogy!

Praise for B.P.R.D.: 1947:

“It has aspects of pulp, horror (of course), and historical fiction. All while maintaining the same tone and mood. The continuity maintained over years now of stories is very impressive, and “1947” never wavers in that execution.” —Comic Book Resources

BILLY THE KID’S OLD TIMEY ODDITIES AND THE ORM OF LOCH NESS #1

The world believes the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid was killed by Pat Garrett, the Kid is very much alive, the hired gun of a traveling spectacle of biological curiosities—or “freaks,” as Billy calls them. Billy and crew head to Loch Ness to rescue their lizard-skinned comrade from Count Dracula.

* From the Eisner Award-winning creator of The Goon!

* See the cast of Billy the Kid in this month’s issue of The Goon!

“At last, a lit-and-history riff to rival The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” —Entertainment Weekly

EX SANGUINE #1

One’s a natural born killer—a remorseless hunter restlessly prowling the night for victims to quench an unnatural bloodlust. The other’s a vampire. A bored vampire. His centuries of existence have left him world weary and detached, until one day his thirst is reinvigorated when the deadly and intricate work of the Sanguine Killer catches his eyes.

* From Hack/Slash’s Tim Seeley!

* Dark Horse Horror gets under your skin.

* Buffy and Angel meet Natural Born Killers!

* Hard-hitting psychological horror!

“Seeley delivers the goods.”—IGN

MIND MGMT #6
