A Killer Santa, a Vampire, and a Class From Hell

This week alone, one book hits shelves, one order window is about to slam shut, and three fresh nightmares just surfaced on Lunar: a cursed trilogy's final chapter, the vampire that started it all, and a killer Santa with a score to settle. Here is everything you need to know, and everything to tell your shop before the cutoffs lock.

A 176-page illustrated reckoning with F.W. Murnau's 1922 nightmare: the bootleg Dracula that was sued into oblivion, ordered burned, and refused to die.

SEE IT ON LUNAR ›

More than a century ago a silent film taught the world what a vampire looks like, and the image never left. Marco Fontanili, the artist behind The Witchmaster of Norway, drags F.W. Murnau's 1922 nightmare back into the light in a 176-page illustrated reckoning. Count Orlok, the plague ship, the shadow on the stairs. The bootleg Dracula that was sued into oblivion, ordered burned, and refused to die. In stores December 16.

The vampire you picture in the dark has Orlok's face. This is the book about how it got there.

Ho ho horror. A massacre at the North Pole, a framed and furious Santa Claus, and a jailbreak of deranged holiday icons. Only one man can hunt them down.

SEE IT ON LUNAR ›

Ho ho horror. The festive world starts bleeding out when a massacre tears through the North Pole, and a grizzled, jaded Santa Claus takes the fall, locked away in a maximum-security asylum for the mythologically iconic and insane. Then the jailbreak comes, and a pantheon of deranged holiday icons spills onto a defenseless world. Only one man can hunt them down. Shawn Lewis and Ben Perkins kick off a four-issue slay ride, with issue one hitting shelves December 16. Final Order Cutoff is October 26.

Five books, one invasion, and plenty of ways to get caught on the wrong end of it. Keep your orders in ahead of the cutoffs, and tell your local shop which of these belong on your pull.

Don't get left on the shelf.
Ask your local comic shop to add these to your pull list, and join the list for every Sighting first.
