CUL-DE-SAC IS COMING!! — Don’t Miss The Jaw-Dropping Issue #1 Lettered Preview & Stunning Issue #2 Cover Inside!

CUL-DE-SAC #2 cover by Jonathan Wayshak
The biggest, boldest, most ambitious slate of BAD IDEA comics is almost upon us!

The titanic barrage that begins with PLANET DEATH #1 on July 9th is immediately followed by the long-awaited, much-demanded, wildly anticipated return to comics of the legendary Mike Carey with CUL-DE-SAC #1 on August 6th.

Mike exploded onto the scene with seminal runs on LUCIFER, HELLBLAZER and X-MEN, before leaving comics behind to find massive success in prose and screenwriting. Now, Mike is returning to the medium that started it all. And he’s built a genuine horror masterpiece.

What if your parents—and your family’s best friends, your neighbors—turned out to be vampires?
And what if you found out at the same time their kids did?
And what if, that very night, vampire hunters came and killed them all?

That’s how CUL-DE-SAC begins.

From there, Mike unleashes the most chilling new addition to vampire mythology since Bram Stoker dreamed up Dracula. Brace yourself, for you will soon meet the NECURATIL.

Joining Mike is fine artist-turned-comics phenomenon, Jonathan Wayshak delivering a textured, tactical rawness to CUL-DE-SAC that has to be seen to be believed. Somehow, Wayshak has conjured a beautiful mutant hybrid, combining the raw intensity of Todd McFarlane with the kinetic chaos of Bill Sienkiewicz into one jaw-dropping fusion

Behold that primal fusion in full effect in Wayshak’s striking new cover for CUL-DE-SAC #2, revealed in full color for the first time today. Brace yourself, because you’ll see that same explosive energy drip from every single page.

Now prepare for your first terrifying taste of CUL-DE-SAC #1 with the spine-chilling lettered preview below. Then it’s time to pick up the phone and dial up your local comic shop to reserve your copy of CUL-DE-SAC #1 today!

What lurking evil lies hidden at the end of the cul-de-sac?

Nestled in a tucked-away corner of sleepy suburbia, the Kingsley, Herriman and Ortega families seemed like any other close-knit neighbors. So nothing seems amiss when Mrs. Kingsley piles all the neighborhood kids into the family RV for their annual summer camp-out. But in the dark of the woods, she unleashes a grisly, bloodcurdling display, revealing their families’ shocking secret—their parents are vampires and they’re eager to pass on their legacy.

Now the children must choose—to join them and revel in their awesome dark powers or live out their lives as mortals. But when they return home, they confront a gruesome scene—their parents dead on the floor, brutally murdered by an elite squad of vampire hunters. And the hunters? They’re looking to finish the job. Now the kids are on the run, chased by vampire hunters, the police, and even a shadowy cabal of their fellow vampires as they search for answers to unlock the secret of what they really are before their fates are sealed forever.
