BOOM! Studios Announces New Changeling Horror Series ‘The Neighbors’
by Brendan M. Allen
BOOM! Studios has announced The Neighbors, a brand new five-issue limited series from writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle, artist Letizia Cadonici, and colorist Alessandro Santoro.
When Janet and Oliver Gowdie move to a quaint mountain town, their daughter Casey becomes part of a horrific chain of events revealing that their neighbors are anything but what they seem. Soon, an unsettling old woman named Agnes Early fixates on Janet and Oliver’s other daughter–2-year-old Isobel.
It becomes clear that it’s impossible to know who to trust… or who is even still human…
“I am so excited for The Neighbors. It’s a story about what scared me as a kid, what scares me as a parent, and the terror that shadows queer and trans people who are raising families in 2022,” said Doyle. “Letizia Cadonici’s witchy, haunted art provides such a beautiful portal into this other world. I sincerely hope you’ll walk through and see what’s inside.”
“I am a huge fan of horror and mystery stories so when I read the script for The Neighbors that Jude had written I really thought it was tailor-made for me,” added Cadonici. “Jude has created such a wonderful and terrifying world, full of so many intriguing symbols and monstrous creatures, that I’m seriously having the time of my life drawing every little detail!”
Featuring cover art by artists Miguel Mercado, Rámon K. Perez, Frany, Fábio Moon, Ariela Kristantina, and more, The Neighbors #1 is due in March 2023.
