Unforgettable New Horror Series Begins in October 2022<\/p>\n

Skybound today announced the launch of\u00a0Dark Ride, a new horror comic book series from the visionary\u00a0Birthright\u00a0team of Joshua Williamson (Batman,\u00a0Dark Crisis) and Andrei Bressan (Batman and Robin) that introduces readers to The Scariest Place on Earth.\u00a0Dark Ride #1\u00a0will arrive in comic book shops October 5, 2022.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Devil Land has been the world\u2019s premiere horror-themed amusement park for over 50 years, home to the scariest ride ever created \u2013 The Devil\u2019s Due. But when lifelong fan Owen Seasons begins his first day on the job, he will discover the true horrors happening behind the scenes, the truth about the park\u2019s reclusive creator Arthur Dante and that the job of his dreams might just be a living nightmare.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Two of my biggest obsessions have always been HORROR…and AMUSEMENT PARKS. So, I had to find a way to combine them into something new. It\u2019s a dream book I\u2019ve been working on for a LONG time and it\u2019s been awesome to finally pull it together with Andrei and the whole\u00a0Birthright\u00a0team!\u201d said Joshua Williamson. \u201cIt’s great to get back to horror after\u00a0Nailbiter\u00a0ended, and here we dive into some new themes with horror: What is scary in today\u2019s world? How can you create something scary when every day we\u2019re living in a horror show? Those are the themes I wanted to explore with DARK RIDE. Amusement Parks are meant to be a place of FUN…but here we really bring the HORROR.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s safe to say that we\u2019re heading home! I\u2019m really happy to be reunited with the rest of the\u00a0Birthright\u00a0clan once again! Hell! We usually tell people we are a team, but in fact, we are a living, breathing creature! And a hungry one too! At first you had us brandishing swords…but now, this time around…well…horror, right?\u201d said Bressan. \u201cI remember reading something that says \u2018In horror, the surface always lies. Nothing is what it seems to be.\u2019 So, take this and mix it up with an amusement park. You think you\u2019re playing and having fun, but you\u2019re actually flirting with Death. And here, Death blinks back at you!\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In addition to a striking main cover by Bressan and series colorist Adriano Lucas,\u00a0Dark Ride #1\u00a0boasts an impressive variant cover lineup that will kick off an exciting variant cover program continuing through all four issues of\u00a0Dark Ride\u2019s\u00a0first arc. Cover B by Mart\u00edn Morazzo\u00a0(Ice Cream Man)\u00a0spotlights park mascot Danny D. Evill, with additional variant covers to be announced soon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cJoshua and Andrei created one of the iconic modern series in\u00a0Birthright\u00a0and when they approached us about\u00a0Dark Ride, it was clear that lightning struck a second time,\u201d said Amanda LaFranco, Editor, Skybound Entertainment. \u201cThis is everything you love about Joshua and Andrei turned up to eleven, with a thrilling new approach to horror comics that you\u2019ll love whether you\u2019re a die-hard fan of the genre or not.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The world of\u00a0Dark Ride\u00a0makes its first comic book appearance in\u00a0Skybound X #25,\u00a0available in comic shops and at digital providers on July 20, 2022.<\/div>\n
