Scott Snyder Announces A New Chilling Anthology Series, ‘Dark Spaces’ With IDW Publishing

The ever busy writer Scott Snyder, has announced yet another new comic book series with another new publisher, IDW Publishing. Dark Spaces, will be a chilling new anthology series coming in July and featuring art by Hayden Sherman and colours by Ronda Pattison on the first story-arc.

Here’s the full synopsis:

“Desperate people, desperate situations. In Dark Spaces, Snyder explores the decisions made — and irreversible actions taken — when the walls are closing in, when knuckles are white and teeth are bared. Each character-driven entry in the Dark Spaces anthology series is a fully contained, standalone story written by Scott Snyder. Championing the new generation of comic creators, Snyder will curate additional future projects fitting the Dark Spaces theme from promising young writers and artists.”

And here’s what Snyder had to say about this new project and how it differs from other comics he has produced of a similar nature:

“With Dark Spaces, I wanted to do something different. This is a chance to tell dark, grounded, character-driven stories that are totally unique. Plus, I wanted this to be a book where I could collaborate with a terrific up-and-coming talent like Hayden. It was also important to me to be able to hold the door open for even more new writers and artists. That’s why Dark Spaces: Wildfire is its own story, but will also mark the beginning of a line of new books featuring other writers and artists curated by me. Mark Doyle and IDW saw the vision and have been amazing partners in helping me build this space.”

The first series will debut with a five-part heist story entitled Dark Spaces: Wildfire.

More on this first arc:

“Dark Spaces: Wildfire is set six weeks into the slow burn of the historic Arroyo fire and introduces a crew of women from an inmate firefighting program risking everything on the frontlines.Their newest recruit—a white-collar convict with a deep network of shady dealers—discovers that they’re mere miles from a former associate’s abandoned mansion and proposes a plan to abandon their duties and hunt for riches under the cover of smoke and ash. The team must decide if they’re ready to jeopardize their one sure path back to normalcy for a score that would truly change their lives… But is this a flicker of fortune or a deadly trap?”

Dark Spaces: Wildfire will be published monthly from July through November, with subsequent to-be-announced Dark Spaces storylines debuting in 2023.
