JULY 14, 2025 (PORTLAND, OR) — Coming this Wedneday from the twisted minds of Jordan Hart (Ripple Effects) and Chris Ryall (Zombies vs Robots) is DREAD THE HALL H, a horror anthology from Image Comics’ imprint Syzygy Publishing that rips open the madness of comic conventions and unleashes the terrors lurking within.
This terrifying, hilarious, and all-too-relatable convention horror anthology boasts a powerhouse lineup of artists—including Nelson Dániel (Dying is Easy), Piotr Kowalski (Creepshow), Jimmy Kucaj (Come Find Me), and Chris Anderson (Heavy Metal). In this extended issue, readers are thrust into the deepest, darkest corners of convention culture—where fandom reaches feverish extremes. From the desperate overnight line camps where die-hard fans trade sleep for a chance at all the gory glory, to the ruthless frenzy of exclusive merch hunts, to the shadowy forces controlling the ultimate backstage access, no part of the con is safe. And at the heart of it all lies the most infamous room in history… Hall H, where the real horrors wait in the dark.
It’s comic convention season! And what better way to celebrate comic cons than this extra-length anthology filled with con-related horror stories! Last year, they skewered all things Christmas on the pages of DREAD THE HALLS, and now writers CHRIS RYALL and JORDAN HART, alongside artists NELSON DANIEL, PIOTR KOWALSKI, JIMMY KUCAJ, and CHRIS ANDERSON, bring terrifying convention tales to life! Covers by MARIA WOLF, a convention-line wraparound by NELSON DANIEL, and a “con-badge” incentive cover by JORDAN HART! The perfect and perfectly terrifying comic to read while waiting to get into that massive convention hall!
With covers by Maria Wolf (Cosmic Ghost), a convention-line wraparound by Nelson Dániel, and a “con-badge” incentive cover by Jordan Hart, Dread The Hall H is the perfect, terrifying read to keep you entertained while you wait to get into that highly-anticipated and massive convention.
