Dark Horse is thrilled to present the most terrifying team-up of talent to hit the comics scene in years, as fan-favorite horror scribe Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, Dark Days, Criminal Macabre) joins artist Kelley Jones (Deadman, Batman, The Hammer) to bring you Last Train to Deadsville, the follow-up to last yearÂ’s hit miniseries Criminal Macabre! Last Train to Deadsville takes supernatural private dick Cal McDonald and his ghoulish partner MoÂ’Lock on their weirdest adventure yet. Things start per usual with Cal and MoÂ’Lock engaged in battle against a very nasty and recently resurrected mummy. After a close call in which MoÂ’Lock proves his loyalty to Cal in an eye-popping manner, the two leave a destroyed museum and lifeless mummy behind. Unknown to Cal he is about to face his most menacing foe to date, the girlfriend he forgot to get a gift for on ValentineÂ’s Day! Before Cal can dodge that proverbial bullet, he is faced with an even more immediate menace. A bizarre family straight out of the film Deliverance is standing in his front door with what appears to be a possessed teenager in their arms! Cal lets the clan inside but soon realizes there is more to this family and the possessed teen than first meets the eye.
In addition to the immediate dangers Cal will face, Last Train to Deadsville takes Cal and MoÂ’Lock on a road trip that will reveal shocking events about CalÂ’s past you wonÂ’t want to miss!
“I love writing Cal McDonald more than I can say,” enthused writer Steve Niles. “Kelley Jones’ art really brings Cal’s world of ghouls to life. It’s dark, scary, and gritty as hell. I couldn’t be more excited!”
