Welcome to The Pull! Each week we pick a few comics to feature as comic book picks of the week. This week we feature Dark Seas #1, Darkland #1, Something Is Killing The Children #27 and more.
We purchase most of our comics at Galactic Comic and Collectibles in Bangor, Maine.
Dead Seas #1
Writer: Cavan Scott
Artist: Nick Brokenshire
Publisher: IDW Publishing
Ghosts are real and dangerous. But they’re also valuable, their ectoplasm capable of curing countless diseases. There’s only one problem: harvesting the wonder drug can be just as deadly. Prisoner Gus Ortiz is willing to take the risk in return for a reduced sentence-anything to see his daughter again. All it will take is a few months at sea scraping ectoplasm off the walls of the Perdition, a floating prison containing the most vicious ghosts on Earth. Surrounded by dark waters, Gus soon realizes that angry spirits are the least of his worries.
The Poseidon Adventure meets The Haunting of Hill House in this supernatural thriller.
Cavan Scott and Nick Brokenshire will join the Capes and Tights Podcast for Episode 78 in early February 2023.
