The Thing Returns to Dark Horse Comics! Free Digitally, now! 09/21/2011 11:10am
A FREE DIGITAL COMIC THAT SERVES AS A PREQUEL TO THE NEW THRILLER IN THEATERS OCTOBER 14!
Dark Horse Comics is pleased to announce that it has created an exclusive digital comic to serve as a prequel to the thriller "The Thing," in theaters October 14. Starting today, the comic will be released in three parts on September 21, September 28 and October 5 and is available FREE online and via the free Dark Horse Comics mobile app. The Thing: The Northman Nightmare tells the origin story of pioneering Norsemen who discover a shape-shifting creature that is hiding in a desolate village with few human survivors.
In December 1991, Dark Horse Comics first published The Thing From Another World #1. In the style of Aliens, Predator and Terminator, Dark Horse Comics picked up where John Carpenter’s classic 1982 film left off. Now, 20 years later, Dark Horse shares a much earlier story about this creature from beneath the ice.
Taking us into frigid Greenland, the comic introduces us to a group of Norsemen who find themselves caught in a game of survival when they discover a terrifying creature. The shape-shifting monster has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman. And it hides somewhere in a desolate village with few human survivors, among them a strange group of women...
The Thing: The Northman Nightmare is written by Steve Niles (Criminal Macabre), with art by Patric Reynolds (Serenity), colors by Dave Stewart (Hellboy) and a cover by Menton3 (Silent Hill). The Thing: The Northman Nightmare comes to readers as a prequel to Universal Pictures' upcoming prelude to John Carpenter's classic 1982 film of the same name.
