CUL-DE-SAC is a modern horror masterpiece and we’re going all out to promote the launch of issue #1 on August 6th!

The much-anticipated series marks the long-awaited return to comic books of New York Times bestselling writer and master of the macabre, Mike Carey(LUCIFER, X-MEN), who is combining his powers with groundbreaking fine art illustrator Jonathan Wayshak(SPAWN: VIOLATOR) to deliver a nightmarish new vision for the horror genre.

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.
