Oni Press, with all its Eisner and Harvey Awards, will publish the first instalment of Zac Thompson and Daniel Irizarri’s Cemetery Kids Don’t Die in February.
The genre-bending horror is set in the 21st century, where the most popular gaming console is one you use in your sleep.
Millions enter the Dreamwave every night, but the Cemetery Kids are four friends who roam the most brutal horror game together.
Against the Cemetery Kids is the King of Sleep, the Dreamwave’s most terrifying foe, but it’s only a game. Until one of the Cemetery Kids wakes up. With one friend trapped in the game, the remaining three Cemetery Kids set out to explore the forbidden corners of the Dreamscape and attempt a rescue.
