Top Cow Productions, the company behind The Darkness and CyberForce, will celebrate Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead 20-year milestone anniversary with collectible variants by artist Giuseppe Cafaro and colorist John Starr. Together, these three virgin variant covers will connect to create a panoramic masterpiece featuring Top Cow characters from Destiny Gate #1, Antarctica #4, and Haunt You to the End #5, fighting side-by-side with The Walking Dead iconic horror series heroes and villains this October.
Haunt You To The End
A GHOST STORY FOR THE END OF THE WORLD! In a not-so-far future rife with climate disasters and worldwide instability an eccentric billionaire and his crew-a disgraced journalist a radical doctor a TV demonologist and a squad of hard-bitten military contractors-set out to prove the existence of life after death. But even if their mission is a success the truth behind the "most haunted place on earth" may not be the comforting revelation the world is hoping for.
Los Angeles, California – March 24th, 2023 – Top Cow Productions, Inc., the company behind THE DARKNESS and CYBERFORCE, reunites INFINITE DARK team Ryan Cady (BATMAN: URBAN LEGENDS, GREEN LANTERN) and Andrea Mutti (BATMAN ETERNAL, PORT OF EARTH) to develop a new sci-fi, horror series, HAUNT YOU TO THE END, which debuts on June 14th, 2023. “This five-issue journey will intrigue even the greatest paranormal skeptics like myself,” says Top Cow President Matt Hawkins.
Writer Ryan Cady says, “Andrea Mutti and I have been dying to work together again for a few years now, and when this idea popped into my head, everything was already in his style: moody, washed out watercolors and appropriately dreary scenes of doom and gloom.”
With the series set in the last days of the most haunted place on earth ravaged by a climate apocalypse, artist Andrea Mutti says, “I knew immediately that I wanted to contrast the warm and cold colors on the same page to reflect Ryan’s dynamic world. There is action, suspense, horror and evocative and extremely visual and powerful environments and characters!”
Within this A DAY AFTER TOMORROW and A HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE world that Cady and Mutti created, readers will go on an expedition with a motley crew of characters, from a tech billionaire, a catholic priest, a Sarah Connor-like military contractor turned explorer, uniformed military contractors, and one washed up journalist, to prove that there is life after death. But together, the reader will discover with the characters that there are deeper horrors.
“If you enjoyed our collision of science fiction and supernatural chills in INFINITE DARK, I think you’ll really dig what we’re up to here. There’s plenty of characters to love – and some you’ll love to hate – going on this eccentric ghost-hunting expedition; I really hope some of them survive, but you’ll have to pick up the book to find out!”
Top Cow celebrates The Walking Dead 20-year milestone
Haunt You to the End #5, features the tough-as-nails mercenary Gersh, as she struggles in the foreground while behind her, The Walking Dead’s Maggie fights for her life against ravenous walkers, tears in her eyes in shock and surprise, as next to her she sees the mangled, broken, ghost corpse of the love of her life, Glenn.
Cady, writer of Destiny Gate and Haunt You to the End, said: “Giuseppe and John have masterfully merged the worlds of Haunt You to the End and Destiny Gate with the post-apocalyptic nightmare of The Walking Dead.” Collectors will want to pick up all three to create what Antarctica’s creator called: “zombie multiverse heaven.” Antarctica letterer Lyndon White added: “This feels surreal.”
“Seeing Negan on the cover of Destiny Gate and Gersh paired with ghost Glenn makes this Halloween season an extra special one,” said Cady.
