Following the releases of Ten Thousand Black Feathers and The Passageway, Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino's shared horror universe known as The Bone Orchard Mythos will continue its eerie expansion this summer with the new 10-issue comic book miniseries Tenement.
Centered on seven residents of a high-rise that harbors all kinds of hidden horrors, Tenement #1 will be released on June 21st from Image Comics, and we have preview pages and exclusive quotes from Jeff and Andrea to give Daily Dead readers an idea of what to expect from the new series that's described as "Dario Argento’s Inferno meets Rosemary’s Baby."
You can check out preview pages from Tenement #1 below, and here is what Jeff and Andrea had to say about their new comic book series and how it ties into The Bone Orchard Mythos:

Some Black Hammer books have numbers in the title: those are the main series. Before the book I’ll be complaining about today, there’s been Secret Origins , The Event , Age of Doom 1 , and Age of Doom 2 .
Some Black Hammer books have the words “Black Hammer” in the title, but no number: Streets of Spiral , the Justice League crossover . These are side stories about the whole team.
(Black Hammer ’45 is deeply confusing in this schema, but it actually fits in the next category. The “Black Hammer” referred to in the title is not the same as the other books, for maximum what-the-fuck-age.)
And some Black Hammer books are about other people in the same world, whose stories may intersect the main gang of mopey superheroes or may not obviously do so. (This is superhero comics: all stories intersect in the Grand Summer Crossover eventually.

It has been a year, hasn’t it?
The year started with such tenuous promise, and is ending the same way: slivers of hope among rivers of misery. But even with all the chaos, all the changes forced by the pandemic and that were coming anyway, we still got some incredible comics in 2020.
Let us be abundantly clear: every work of art made in the last year is a small miracle. Every comic creator who put irons in the fire in a year that certainly didn’t lack fires deserves gratitude and commendation. Picking 20 comics doesn’t do justice to the herculean work and dedication that everyone who works in comics demonstrated – from the creators, to the back office folks who kept the trains running on time and let us know they were coming, to the people who actually put the books in our hands, we should be immensely grateful to all of them.

Underwinter #1
Writer & Artist: Ray Fawkes
Publisher: Image Comics
Price: $4
Click Here For Preview
Underwinter is the first time I’ve ever read Ray Fawkes. I’ve had plenty of opportunity: he’s a frequent collaborator with Jeff Lemire, whose titles I read on the regular, yet I’ve never quite intersected with Fawkes’ works. His Image comic Intersect *should’ve* been high on my priorities, as it’s a surreal horror comic with queer perspectives, but Fawkes’ art was a bit of a turn off initially at the time. Now that my appreciation for the sketchier, impressionist styles has grown, I’m glad Fawkes’ has returned to Image with yet more queer-oriented horror in the form of Underwinter.
Where Intersect was body horror with a slightly Lovecraftian angle, Underwinter looks to be eschewing body horror in favor of Giallo-isms. The main character(s) are a quartet of string musicians...

All-Star Batman #8 Gallery 1 of 9

This review contains minor spoilers.
Scott Snyder’s All-Star Batman series, which features the Dark Knight travelling the Us and meeting a revolving door of his worst enemies, has served up seven high-quality issues so far. Issue #8, however, might just be the best one yet.
In ‘Ends of the Earth: Part 3,’ Batman travels to the swamps of Mississippi to confront the Mad Hatter, who he believes might be behind the necrotic plague released by Mr. Freeze back in Part 1. It turns out that the Lewis Carroll-loving weirdo might have a bigger bombshell than that up his sleeve, though. In a trippy, ultra-surreal tale, Jervis Tetch suggests that Bruce Wayne’s life as Batman is all a hallucination brought on by Tetch’s own ‘Looking Glass’ technology.

To do that she pretends to the Lois Lane of New 52 Universe, and as expected things don’t go completely as planned. Jurgens continues to do an excellent job here with how he handles the characters.

Synopsis:
Echoes from Batman's past ripple out into Gotham City's future...
Review:
We got a nice send off from series creative team Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo last issue. This time around to close out the 52 iteration of Batman, James Tynion IV and Riley Rossmo and Brian Level come on for a re-examination of the origins of Batman, as well as some early steps Bruce took to become who he was. The origins of Batman and aspects of Bruce training, and how it ties into an item being stolen in present day Gotham, was well done. In itself, the story is kind of pointless. We have all seen and read a million iterations, and the conflicts that go with them, of the same points: young Bruce’s desire to train and become something more, Alfred’s constant desire for Bruce to be a normal kid, etc.
While no new ground is really explored here,...

Review:
This is it, the end of Scott Snyder and Greg Cappulo’s run on Batman. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the series since its early days at the birth of “New 52”. I remember being amazed Capullo was going to be illustrating Batman, and how excited I was to see it. Scott Snyder writing? That sounded awesome too. Then we got Court of Owls and it was pretty epic. From there it was the hit or miss Death of the Family storyline.

Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher take us on a really wild and trippy adventure as we explore warped moments of Barbara Gordon’s memories. The villain of the arc, Fugue, has managed to get inside Barbara’s head and is stealing her secrets with plans to sell them to her enemies. While there is some fun here with great art by the various contributors (each getting a moment based on the memory), I just wasn’t pulled into this story.

Published by DC Comics
Filler really is a kind of a dirty word to use to refer to a comic, and Batgirl #47 definitely isn’t that. However, with artist Babs Tarr sidelined for this issue and the main plot of discovering what is behind, this issue is a slight drop in quality compared to the spectacular wedding issue and last issue’s battle with gangs and gentrification. We do get to see Batgirl work in a group dynamic with both Spoiler and Bluebird, who she somehow forgot from Batman Eternal as they find out without a shadow of a doubt that it was Batgirl, who hacked her own data and tipped off the police about the kids from Forster Lane being in gangs. This leads to more self-doubt...

Two words could be used to describe comics in 2015: scandal and rebirth. The scandals happened off the pages at both companies large and small, and the rebirth happened in the comics themselves.
Graphic Policy reported that former Dark Horse Comics editor-in-chief Scott Allie bit writer Joe Harris (X-Files Season Ten) at the Boom! Studios party at San Diego Comic Con, and he was demoted to “executive editor” even though an assault of this kind would be grounds for dismissal at almost any other company. There was also another ethical breach at Dark Horse when The Rainbow Hub journalist Emma Houxbois reported that former Bleeding Cool editor Hanna Means-Shannon broke a Dark Horse-related story while it was under embargo and didn’t disclose the fact that she was taking a job with the company.

Published by DC Comics
Once upon a time, James Gordon was a police officer. His story has always been that he was a good cop in a bad city. Sure that city has a superhero in it but Gordon has always been a man with a job and he was always professional about that. So why would you make James Gordon into a superhero? After Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo “killed” Bruce Wayne, someone had to step into the vacuum and wear the proverbial cape and cowl. The logical choice now is probably the same as it was in 2009 when Grant Morrison took his spin on “killing” Wayne and having tried and true Dick Grayson, the first of many Robins, step into the role. And even Grayson wasn’t the first Bat-stand in.

It’s the end of the world one more time. Do you feel fine? If you see Good Times Sloth, you just might as you scream and bleed from your eyes.
At least, that’s the conceit behind Memetic, the three issue miniseries by James Tynion IV and Eryk Donovan about the end of the world being triggered by a meme of a sloth giving a thumbs up. Exploring meme theory and how the dispersion of ideas has sped up in the internet age, the miniseries moves as fast as the image does, but it leads to a rather fresh take on the traditional apocalypse story.
The comic follows two major characters over the course of four days as the world falls down. The first is Aaron,...

Batman is now not a single person, but persons into perpetuity. This feeling of constant change is felt in this issue of Batman. Not only is that cape and cowl supposed to change owners, but Bruce Wayne wants to change the parts of Gotham that get destroyed the worst only to be rebuilt and cleaned last.
Gordon is able to escape from his coffin of fire at the beginning of the issue only to be released of his duties by Powers. She understands that he was just going after Mr. Bloom but reasons with Gordon.

Plutona #2 basically confirms that this miniseries is a coming of age story with just a touch of the superhero genre to create tension in the plot and between the main characters. Jeff Lemire and Emi Lenox’s plot is slow moving, but they allow Mie, Teddy, Diane, and Ray to react naturally to seeing the dead body of what is essentially a famous person. The combination of their youthfulness and the immediate horror of being up close to death creates a compelling narrative while colorist Jordie Bellaire orchestrates the mood of the comic as black seeps into her muted rustic palette.
By the end of Plutona #2, readers will truly get to know the main cast of kids and possibly see themselves in one or more of them.

Plutona #1
Story by Jeff Lemire and Emi Lenox
Script by Jeff Lemire
Art by Emi Lenox
Colors by Jordie Bellaire
Published by Image Comics
If you’ve read many superhero comics or watched many superhero films or cartoons, then you know they are mainly set in cities. Gotham, Metropolis, and occasionally real life ones, like New York, L.A., occasionally Chicago, or big international metropolises like Tokyo or London. But who protects the suburbs? And what do people, particularly kids, think of superheroes in the suburbs? Writer Jeff Lemire, who has done big superhero comics like Green Arrow and All-New Hawkeye as well as more intimate stories like Essex County about life in rural Canada, and artist Emi Lenox of adorable, yet vulnerable diary comic Emitown fame kind of answer these questions while framing them in a coming of age story from four distinct perspectives. In Plutona #1, they manage to integrate normal teenage struggles,...

Starve #1
Written by Brian Wood
Illustrated by Danijel Zezelj
Coloured by Dave Stewart
Lettering by Clayton Cowles and Steve Wands
Starve stands fairly freely amongst other comics that have culinary as a part of their stories. Chew does have the food industry as a major component to its backdrop and the standalone graphic novel Get Jiro proved that you could have a culinary aspect and make a fresh and exciting book. Yet, there aren’t many North American based comic books that have food involved. In Japanese manga and anime, the situation is much more different through the popularity of many titles like What Did You Eat Yesterday?, Oishinbo, Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma, and many more. It makes sense that Starve, especially through its artwork, has this manga-like appeal to it, fueled by a storyline that has a sharp, political edge to it; wouldn’t expect anything less from the brilliant Brian Wood.

Gotham Academy #7
Writers – Becky Cloonan & Brenden Fletcher
Art – Mingjue Helen Chen
Letters – Steve Wands
Publisher – DC Comics
To say that Gotham Academy #7 feels a little disappointing would be completely unfair. That would imply that its quality is somehow deficient, and that is patently not the case. Just like the preceding issues of this series, it’s capital T.N. Top Notch. But the fact that it is so Top Notch leaves the fleeting aspects of the story — say like the presence of a certain major Bat-family character — feeling like they’re gone too soon. Basically, Gotham Academy #7 is like being given a slice of a magnificently delicious pie and having the rest taken away from you. It’s satisfying on its own, but you still have to wonder why it is you can’t have another.
Yes, after the tantalizing teaser at the end of issue #6, Damian Wayne enrolls at Gotham Academy,...

From The Battle of the Alamo to the present-day predicament at the Bellweather Sanatorium, Goners #6 finishes the "We All Fall Down" story arc with a frightening flourish, as brother and sister Josiah and Zoe Latimer go up against the Lovecraftian creatures that have plagued their family for generations. From Image Comics, Jacob Semahn and Jorge Corona's Goners #6 hit comic book shelves last week, but if you still haven't picked up the latest issue, we have a set of preview pages teasing the historical horror prevalent in the series, as well as a look at the cover art for the upcoming trade paperback release of volume one, due out on April 29th.

Descender #1
Writer – Jeff Lemire
Artist – Dustin Nguyen
Letterer and Designer – Steve Wands
Publisher – Image Comics
Jeff Lemire has already proven his worth in the sci-fi comic book genre with last year’s excellent Trillium. Descender appears to be something quite different from the last mini series he produced and is now collaborating with Dustin Nguyen, whose beautiful artwork is already strongly evident in this first issue. With Lemire and Nguyen onboard this very intriguing book, it looks like this will be a great addition to the already stellar lineup of Image released series.
Before this first issue even dropped, there was a lot of hype around Descender. The series was barely even officially announced when Sony Pictures sealed a film deal. Well, it is safe to say, upon reading the first issue, there is a lot of potential for Descender to face the hype head on and warm critics and readers alike.

Many stories start at the beginning, but Goners, a new comic book series from Image Comics, begins at the end… the end of a family tragedy that is the beginning of a hellish time for two siblings hunted by supernatural forces ranging from ferocious phantoms to sharp-beaked Ekeks and many more malevolent monsters and demons.
The first four issues of Jacob Semahn and Jorge Corona's new series feature panels packed with interesting characters and monstrous mayhem aplenty, making for a truly memorable horror-comedy experience that shows no signs of slowing down.
Another strong entry to the series, Goners #5, hits shelves next Wednesday, and we've been provided with a set of preview pages to give you a look at the Lovecraftian horrors awaiting Josiah and Zoe Latimer at the Bellweather Sanatorium.

With issue #4 of this ambitious horror story hitting shelves today, I caught up with Goners co-creator/writer Jacob Semahn in a Q&A feature to discuss the wide-ranging influences (including John F. Kennedy’s assassination and Stephen King’s works) of his series, the often overlooked creatures lurking within the panels of Goners, what lies ahead for characters and readers alike, and much more. We also have a set of preview pages from Goners #4, teasing the carnage brought upon the Massachusetts town of King’s Bluff by a Skin-Walker and his furry friends.

Have you ever been in love? Head-over-heels, pop-songs-on-blast-turnt-down-for-what love? Sure, most have. You’ve probably even had that love turn sour. The bright light of joy that once warmed your heart turned black as coal and threatens every fibre of your being. Hopefully. most of you have never felt that. Though it isn’t as rare as we’d like. But what happens when that newfound hatred manifests itself in your spouse? If you’re the Joker, you plan your endgame and show the world that a lunatic scorned is nothing to be trifled with.

One Week. Seven Days.
My plans for the next seven days are, if I must say, pretty epic. First off, I’m going to be doing a special column for Destroy The Brain, in which I finally watch and review Halloween III and Halloween H20, neither of which I’ve seen, making me a pretty poor horror movie fan. Along with those reviews, I’ll be talking about a pumpkin beer that I’m looking forward to big time as well. But then, at the end of the week, myself and a friend are going down to Saint Genevieve in southern Missouri for a brewery tour and to take in the very old and beautiful city at a time of year when the veil between past and present is thinnest. I even have have a costume all picked out: I’m going to be an executioner.
Get it?
