Cosmic Horrors Unleashed: Meet Jumpscare, Your New Favorite Superhero
Earlier this year, Dark Horse Comics introduced "Beyond Mortal." A cosmic escapade, it thrilled fans with spine-chilling supernatural adventures. Inspired by the lore of elder gods, writer Cullen Bunn and artist Danny Luckert captured imaginations with this thrilling narrative. Now, this dynamic duo prepares to mesmerize once again.
Jumpscare: A Horror Fan’s Dream
This thrilling new series, "Jumpscare," marks their bold return. Prepare to meet the titular vigilante, a powerhouse fueled by horror films. With a fantastical ability to summon any weapon from any horror movie, Jumpscare dominates Empire City. Strong, fast, and fearsome, she takes on nefarious foes, wielding terror as her weapon. From criminals to monstrous beings, nothing stands in her gore-soaked path of justice.
But with fame comes danger. Now, a nefarious mobster-turned-monster, Grindhouse, sets his sights on her. As Grindhouse battles to extinguish her fearsome light, the stakes couldn’t be higher. However, for Bunn, this chaos translates into pure joy. "Hands down, Jumpscare is some of the most fun I’ve ever had writing a comic," he enthuses. This thrill, he says, comes from blending horror cinema with superhero narratives.
Artistry in Mayhem
Danny Luckert’s artwork channels the thrilling chaos Bunn envisions. Luckert, whose artistic prowess previously dazzled us in titles like Regression and The Red Mother, now plunges into this horror-fueled world. "Jumpscare was just an absolute mayhem-fueled blast to draw," he reveals, eager for audiences to unravel the visual splendor of horror comic alchemy.
