RETURN OF 30 DAYS OF NIGHT
Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith team again on 30 Days of Night: Return to Barrow, a 32-page, full color comic book with a retail price of $3.99, debuting in March from IDW Publishing.
Here's how IDW describes the book:
"30 Days Of Night: Return To Barrow will expose deep secrets that no one expected. The trail of blood and deception left by the vampires has only begun. With the return to Barrow to learn what happened to his brother, Wayne Kitka will be racing not only to find the truth, but to also beat the oncoming thirty days of darkness."
"I think readers will be pleasantly horrified by Return," Niles said. "It's a sequel much like Dark Days was, in that it follows certain characters in the aftermath of the vampire massacre. In Return to Barrow it's the town itself that's the lead character."
