This Wednesday, November 27th, BOOM! Studios is releasing HELLO DARKNESS #5, the horrifying continuation to the new ongoing anthology series featuring what BOOM! Studios is known for–the best in modern Horror, Fantasy, and Mystery, not to mention the darkest stories yet from a murderer’s row of world class creators!
Everything from primal fears to modern political horrors will be explored, in the classic style of Creepy and Eerie and the contemporary chills of Black Mirror.
This issue, cartoonists take the spotlight with writer-artists bringing forth their most horrible visions, along with a bone-rattling continuation of THE WAR by Garth Ennis and Becky Cloonan in the first 7 issues!
Here’s a look at the covers, the storyline, and preview pages for this week’s new release from BOOM! Studios on New Comic Book Day! #NCBD

The fresh face of modern horror continues with more terror from the industry’s best!
A relationship gets complicated after a photographer takes a picture they shouldn’t have in “Shutter” by Sarah Gailey and Liana Kangas. There’s a double-dose of children’s horror as neighbor girls visit “The Butterfly Field” by Jeremy Bastian and Ziyan Qiu and a long-lost sibling is the subject of “The Search” by Sarah Andersen.
In “The War, Part 5,” by Garth Ennis and Becky Cloonan, David and Nikki take refuge, but quickly learn that there’s more to survival than isolation from the outside world. Meanwhile, Erica Slaughter’s investigation continues in a new Something is Killing the Children adventure, plus hilarious horror from Robert Hack, and more!
