Titan Comics has announced that it is teaming with video game publisher Behaviour Interactive for a brand new comic book series based upon the global phenomenon Dead by Daylight, which will launch in March 2023.
Written by Nadia Shammas (Squire, Where Black Stars Rise) with art by Dillon Snook (Bluefall), Titan’s Dead By Daylight series “will introduce readers to the beloved DbD Killers The Legion – comprised of 4 distinct troubled teenagers: high school dropout Frank, small-town girl Julie, practical joker Joey, and the shy and naive Susie – as they navigate their way through their troubled world.”
“Comic books hold a special place in my heart as with many people on the team. What an awesome time for Dead by Daylight, appearing in this format for the first time. The Legion is quite an interesting set of characters. They are great to dig into since they embody the very universal themes of teen angst, rage and revenge.”, says Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships for Behaviour Interactive. “Seeing our stories and characters coming to life on the page is a wonderful feeling and we hope our fans will appreciate it as much as we do. Stay tuned!”
“The Legion are the perfect Killers to kick off the Dead by Daylight comics. The group is an innately recognisable and pervasive evil, which can be much scarier than the gory or grotesque. Nadia and Dillon give a real nuance to The Legion’s descent into darkness.” says Titan Comics Editor, Phoebe Hedges. “It’s so exciting to be bringing Dead by Daylight to the comic page. We’re truly bringing the tension from the game and turning it into a thrilling story.”
Launching in 2016, Dead by Daylight is a 4v1 multiplayer horror survival game which pits teams of four Survivors against a Killer, including iconic licensed characters such as Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Ghostface, and Pinhead.
