Doc Horror, Halloween Girl, and the Gunwitch are back in Nocturnals: The Sinister Path from Dan Brereton.
A war is being fought for the soul of Pacific City. It’s a war fought by monsters, both human and supernatural. But luckily, some of the monsters are on our side. The Nocturnals—a band of misfit vigilantes led by Doc Horror, his supernaturally-gifted daughter Evening (aka Halloween Girl), and an armed revenant known as the Gunwitch—are all that stand against the eldritch criminal underworld of Pacific City.
The death of the mysterious Judge Hemlock opens a macabre power vacuum in the eldritch underworld. But when the Nocturnals investigate the occult-enshrouded Hemlock house, what they find will lead them down a twisted and deadly sinister path.
“Someone recently described Nocturnals as being like a really good dream,” said Brereton in a press release from Dark Horse Comics. “That’s pretty close to how I feel about it—a good dream you’re completely immersed in, you don’t want it to end—and when you wake up you want back in. Being able to go back again and again over the last three decades is the best feeling.”
Nocturnals: The Sinister Path #1 (of 4) arrives on September 3, 2025, with a $4.99 cover price.
