“Horror is everywhere today, in the world and on the shelves,” said IDW’s group editor Maggie Howell in a statement about the new imprint. “There’s an impulse to examine and indulge our deepest fears, and we’ve seen our industry respond with some of the most exciting new genre initiatives in recent memory. So, what sets IDW Dark apart? Horror is in our blood. This imprint is our way of doubling down on the work IDW has been doing throughout our 25-year history as a premier publisher of horror comics.”
She continued by highlighting two of the sequel series that will come out of the new imprint.
“We’re expanding on that tradition with titles like Steve Niles and Rodney Barnes' 30 Days of Night: Falling Sun, and we’ll continue to trailblaze with new original series, including the next chapter of Patrick Horvath’s Eisner-nominated breakout hit Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees and more original stories we can’t wait to announce. On the licensed side, we’re honored that Paramount Consumer Products has expanded our partnership and trusted us with a trove of blockbuster and cult hit franchises – including some of my personal favorite properties. These are dream projects for talent and editors, and we’re all committed to putting our best foot forward as we expand these worlds.”
