DC COMICS' THE NICE HOUSE ON THE LAKE
DC Comics has revealed images and details from The Nice House on The Lake, a horror series by James Tynion IV and Alvaro Martinez Bueno, lanunching on June 1.
Here's how DC describes the book:
"Everyone who was invited to the house knows Walter. Some met him in childhood; some met him months ago. And Walter's always been a little ... off. But after the hardest year of their lives, nobody was going to turn down Walter's invitation to an astonishingly beautiful house in the woods, overlooking an enormous sylvan lake. It's beautiful, it's opulent, it's private -- also a week of putting up with Walter's weird little schemes and nicknames in exchange for the vacation of a lifetime? Why not?"
The first season will be 12 issues.
"I've always thought of myself as a horror writer. I like taking the things that I'm afraid about and turning them into monsters for my characters to grapple with," Tynion said. "In superhero comics, you can always turn away at the last minute, and boil that conflict down into people in fun costumes punching each other. The Nice House On The Lake is trying to hit at deeper nerve, and the goal is to reach that final last moment and sit with the horror rather than turning away.
"This isn't an action comic book. This is a character-driven story where people need to grapple with living in a seeming paradise that they know is not a paradise. It's about the cognitive dissonance of trying to relax in comfort when you know that the world around you is falling apart. It's also a story about how friendship evolves as you enter adulthood, and how you can't recapture the bonds of youth in your adult life."
The first issue features covers by Bueno, Martin Simmonds, Werther Dell'Edera and Giovanna Niro, with exclusive retailer covers from Carla Cohen, Richard Luong, Francesco Francavilla, Megan Hutchinson-Cates, David Romero, John Gian, Ken Lashley and Chris Sotomayor, Robert Hack and John Gallagher.
