ANNOUNCING COLDER!
PAUL TOBIN BRINGS A CHILL TO DARK HORSE COMICS!
APRIL 2, SEATTLE, WA–From Emerald City Comicon: Paul Tobin
announced he’s writing a blend of horror and crime that will appeal to
those who like books such as Locke & Key, Preacher,
or B.P.R.D.!
Colder comes from the creative team
behind the successful Falling Skies comic, writer Paul Tobin (Marvel
Adventures: Fantastic Four, Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man) and
artist Juan Ferreyra (Rex Mundi).
“Horror and mystery are two things that have always
fascinated me, and I wanted to bring those elements together in a story woven
around what I consider one of my strongest tools as a writer, which is
character. One facet of horror that I really wanted to explore is how the
tension of horror is at its peak when it’s still a mystery. But . . .
what if we had a chance to peek behind the curtain and into the darkened
closet, and found that the truth is even worse?” Paul Tobin questioned.
Declan Thomas’s body temperature is dropping. He
checks it every day, and it’s dropped from 98.6 to a current average in the
high fifties. He never gets sick, never feels pain. He’s just an ex-inmate of
an insane asylum that began operation in the 1890s, specializing in those poor
souls deemed too dangerous for society. As to when Declan himself was admitted,
the records were destroyed in a fire. His nurse has found references to him
that go as far back as the 1940s . . . which is odd, since he doesn’t
look a day over thirty.
“Artist Juan Ferreyra and I really felt comfortable working
with each other on our Falling Skies collaborations, so of
course we wanted to team up again, but this time we wanted to
delve into the uncomfortable . . . to jerk the chains of a story’s
comfort level and take some real chances. Because, bottom line, the type of
material I myself like to read is material like Hellboy, or Preacher,
or anything where the creators are both taking chances and having
fun. Juan and I are taking chances, here, and we think it should be fun for
everyone,” said Tobin.
Colder #1 is on sale November 7, 2012!
