Digital publisher Lion Forge Comics has released the first issue of Night Trap, written by Cullen Bunn, which represents the company’s first foray into the horror genre.
The first issue of Night Trap sets the stage for a suspenseful story stretching across eight issues. In the terrifying comic, a group of co-eds sets out for a relaxing weekend at a beautiful lake house, but the gorgeous backdrop quickly turns grisly when they encounter a murder-hungry madman who has watched a few too many splatter flicks. What follows is a gory maze of blood and pain, with death as the only likely escape.
Cullen Bunn, author of horror comic The Sixth Gun, wrote Night Trap as an homage to 1980s and '90s slasher films. Although it bears the same name as the video game, Bunn created an original story, influenced by the '90s video game Night Trap and...

Do you still miss some of NBC's beloved shows of the 1980s and 1990s? If so, you're in luck. "Saved by the Bell," "Knight Rider," "Miami Vice," "Punky Brewster" and "Airwolf" will all see new life as digital comics later in 2013.
The new stories coming in comic form will be writers from current animated series "Teen Titans," "Jackie Chan Adventures" and "Ben 10," while artists Carl Reed, Jason Johnson and Lorenzo Lizana will provide the artwork. Lion Forge Comics will create and distribute the comics via Amazon's Kindle store, Apple's iBooks and Barnes & Noble.
