Colorist: Guy Major
Letters: Jim Campbell

From writer of comics and screen Mark Verheiden (The American, Aliens, Timecop, Falling Skies), writer/actor AaronDouglas (Battlestar Galactica, The Bridge), and artist CliffRichards (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Justice League) comes Borealis, a freezing nightmare of paranormal terror!

Alaska State Trooper Silaluk “Sil” Osha’s investigation into a series of gruesome slayings draws her deeper into darkness, as a shipment of illegal liquor lies shattered on the snow–along with its mobster smugglers, victims of a deadly force beyond understanding. With no clear suspect at hand, the local underworld arms up for retaliation, but while Sil’s case evidence holds no keys to the murderous mystery, there may be only one place Sil needs to look–into a mirror!

Issue #1 of the comic book BOREALIS, written by Mark Verheiden & Aaron Douglas is out today (December 20, 2023). Attached images are of the cover of the comic and the first 5 pages. There are 3 comic books in the series. #2 is out on Jan 17, 2024 and #3 on Feb 21, 2024. Then all 3 comics will be put together in a hardcover book coming out in July 2024. Look for Issue #1 at your local comic book store (or ask them to order it in for you). Aaron went to two comic book stores today and they were sold out. They had one copy left at the third store he went to. It is also available on Kindle (links at the bottom of this post). I also found it on Apple Books and Google Play Books.

I know that some of you were asking if Aaron would be selling signed copies on his website store. And we assumed that would be a thing. But Dark Horse never sent him or Mark copies of the comic. Even Mark had to go to his local comic book store like Aaron and buy one. So we were thinking that once the hardcover (with all 3 comics) comes out in July 2024, Aaron will get copies of that and both Mark and Aaron will sign them and that’s what we’ll sell on Aaron’s website store.

I am so excited for this to come out from @DarkHorseComics. What a treat to write something with my BSG buddy Mark, who is just a genius with storytelling. This is the first of a three book series. Cliff and Guy really bring it all to life.

 

Exclusive: “Curse the Darkness and Stay Alive” in BOREALIS Comic Book Series from Mark Verheiden, Aaron Douglas, Cliff Richards, and Guy Major

This December, Dark Horse Comics invites readers to the “icy, dark winters of wild Alaska where the temperatures can drop to seventy below zero, and somewhere in the frozen wilderness, unearthly horrors are emerging.” Screen and comics writer Mark Verheiden (The Mask movie, Daredevil TV series, Aliens and Predator comics) and writer/actor Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica, The Bridge) join forces with artist Cliff Richards (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Wonder Woman) and colorist Guy Major (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Blue Beetle) to face the “haunting legends of Alaska and tell the bloodcurdling tale of Borealis.” We are excited to share with Daily Dead readers exclusive details, official cover art, and quotes from the creative team!

Official Synopsis: “Welcome to remote Qinu, Alaska, home to four thousand isolated residents and a world of bad memories for Alaska State Trooper Silaluk Osha, aka Sil. A series of horrific murders has pulled her back to Qinu after thirteen years to face her dark past and discover her own frightening connections to mysterious and deadly legends.”

Mark Verheiden, Aaron Douglas, and Cliff Richards talk about coming together to bring Borealis to life, combining a gritty crime story with the supernatural:

“Aaron and I have wanted to collaborate for years, and when he suggested the idea for Borealis, we had a blast combining a gritty crime story and supernatural horror with the emotional journey of a woman confronting the figurative and literal monsters haunting her. We can’t wait for readers to see how Cliff Richards and Guy Major have brought our madness to life!” —Mark Verheiden

“I am so excited to bring this story to the world with one of the best writers out there who just happens to be a Battlestar Galactica alum and one of my closest friends. From the moment I pitched my idea of Borealis to Mark the fuse was lit, and bringing on Guy and Cliff to draw and color added fuel to the fire.”—Aaron Douglas

“When Aaron and Mark came to me with Borealis, the idea felt like a real gift for me. I love the supernatural / horror / crime story they bring, and then Guy joined to make it an exciting experience to work on. Hope readers have as much fun as I had working on the pages.” —Cliff Richards

“For fans of the crime and horror genres, and for readers brave enough to enter a world most of us will never experience, see it all through the eyes of Sil when Borealis #1 (of 3) arrives in your local comic shop on December 20, 2023 for $3.99.”
