Cannibal cults and filmmakers
Image Comics is releasing a new entry in the survival horror genre called “Fade to Black” from writer Jeff Mariotte and illustrator Danielle Serra.
What at first appears to be five young people on a wilderness trek experience turns out to be something very different. On their own, with no specialized training or skills, our five heroes need to figure out how to survive…or not.
“The characters of Fade to Black are actors, shooting a film on location. They’re young, wealthy, beautiful and spoiled, and everything they know about the wilderness comes from a script until they run into the Children of the Radiant Night, a cannibal cult using the desert for reasons of their own, and the script is out the window,” Mariotte says. “Danielle’s use of shape, line and light took the story down a darker and scarier path than I ever imagined when I wrote it. While there are moments of humor, when the suspense ratchets up, it’s really terrifying and itâs all thanks to Dani’s special vision.”
Fade to Black #1, a 32-page full color comic with a cover price of $3.50, goes on sale March 17th.
