EC’S BLOODY NEW ONGOING SERIES TWISTS THE KNIFE AS THE SUMMER OF FEAR CONTINUES!
Welcome back to the Tormentor’s lair . . . where each crank of the rack tightens your shackled limbs and brings even more taut tales of mayhem and murder spilling forth like so much viscera! This month: Full-blooded writers Matt Bors (Toxic Avenger), Evan Dorkin (Beasts of Burden), and Jeremy Lambert (Doom Patrol) join steel-nerved artists Kano (Action Comics), Lukas Ketner (Count Crowley), and Fabiana Mascolo (Catwoman) to navigate the catacombs by torchlight. . . . We hope they can find their way back out, hehehe!
