Unlocking the Mystique of ‘Nights’: A Dive into Season Two
Whether you’re a devoted follower of the "Nights" comic series by Wyatt Kennedy or you’re just discovering it, take note. This tale captures the hearts of "Dandadan" fans and resonates with Studio Ghibli’s spirit. It’s a fantasy-horror concoction with plenty of heart and humor. Superb illustrations by Luigi Formisano enhance this unique narrative. Looking for a new comic to devour in 2025? Nights wraps up its first arc in January, paving the way for "season two" on February 26.
A Glimpse into the Shadows
To stir your curiosity, we’ve got exclusive previews of "Nights" season two, or issue #13, paired with insightful creator commentary. Let’s explore what’s in store. The series shines with diverse, queer characters, and this inclusivity persists in Nights #13. These tantalizing promo images beckon us to dive in. From quirky creature designs to captivating characters, anticipation is high.
Assisting in this revelation are creators, writer Wyatt Kennedy, and artist Luigi Formisano.
"The plan," Kennedy reveals, "is to explore varying storytelling styles, genres, and tones each season. Season One was breezy and episodic. However, Season Two will embrace a gritty serialized drama. Stakes rise with a darker and more intense approach, departing from Santo Pedro. The core essence of heart and humor remains, yet this chapter takes a darker turn."
Expect consequences from the blood-soaked finale of Season One. Meet new characters like demon conquistador Eda and Gray’s ex-fiancé, the Witch Erik. At its heart, this remains a story about Vince’s dysfunctional found family and his compelling romance with Gray. Secrets loom, threatening even the tightest bonds.
Unveiling New Facets
A demon conquistador, ex-fiancé witch–it just gets juicier. Our sneak peek at Nights issue #13 offers a closer look at Erik. We gladly welcome higher stakes, as nothing beats the drama of a dysfunctional family. Let’s hope the truth surfaces sooner rather than later. Check out its cover and the upcoming issue’s synopsis below.
After last season’s violent climax, we travel back to the 1970s. Rookie CHIMERA agent Tsukumari explores magical oddities from Estonia’s cold to Las Vegas’s decadence. His quest collides with a vampire girl, influencing decades to come. Before we advance, we revisit the past. A dark path awaits. Welcome to Season 2.
Meanwhile, artist Luigi Formisano teases, "Season Two brings change, and I’m not holding back. Visually, Nights will push even more boundaries. Inspiration comes from horror giants like Cronenberg, Bava, Fulci, del Toro, along with masters like Junji Ito and Yukinobu Tatsu. Expect concept art and character designs that unveil new layers of beloved characters, challenging and shocking readers. We’re weirdos, and Nights is a weird book. Readers should brace for a raw style and frantic pace unmatched elsewhere. Buckle up for a wild Season Two."
