TexArcanum, the upcoming comic series from Chris Monfette (writer and producer for Star Trek: Picard, Marvel's Vision, 12 Monkeys) and one of our most anticipated horror comics of the year, hits shelves on July 23 via Dark Horse, and we've got an exclusive preview of the Mid-West horror-noir.
Described as Yellowsto
America is a melting pot for the unknown. Ghosts and gods, angels and demons, horror stories and tall-tales, they’ve traveled from across the globe to collide here in the rural Heartland… and cowboy arcanist Avery Belle has spent a very long lifetime among them. When a centuries-old land feud escalates into the supernatural, when two warring families threaten a low-country apocalypse, only Belle can unearth the truth.
In a previous statement, Monfette further explained his desire to return to a distinctly American style of horror, following a collaboration with Clive Barker on a print reimagining of the iconic Hellraiser series:
“American horror is too often defined by Western European scares — vampires, werewolves, Victorian-style ghosts — and the truth is that this country is made up of communities who’ve brought their own unique folklore along with them […] I created TexArcanum as a way to mash together unfamiliar mythologies in the sandbox of the American heartland.”
