Mad Cave Studios has announced a new miniseries. Dark Pyramid looks to be a brilliant horror series, and there is a preview below.
Announcing DARK PYRAMID, an electrifying 5-issue miniseries from Mad Cave Studios, written by the Eisner Award-winning Paul Tobin (Bandette, Colder, Bunny Mask) featuring illustrations by celebrated Northern Ireland-based comic artist, PJ Holden (Judge Dredd, Fantastic Folklore); with colors by Sara Colella, letters by Taylor Esposito, and jaw-dropping variant covers by comics legend John McCrea (Hitman) with Mike Spicer, and award-winning artist Alison Sampson (Hellboy).
The perfect combination of pulse-pounding adventure, chilling horror, and high-stakes mystery, Dark Pyramid will take readers deep beneath Alaska's Mt. Denali, where secrets as old as time threaten to change the world forever!
Hooky Hidalgo, adventurist and popular live streamer, has gone missing while climbing Mt. Denali in Alaska! When his girlfriend, Becca, arrives at the base of the mountain to retrace his steps, she soon discovers something beyond the dreamy and impressive landscape. There’s a conspiracy deep within the heart of Denali itself—a dark pyramid, silent, waiting. Becca—and the scores of Hooky fans determined to either find him or find some fun—will face death, avalanches….and monsters to find the truth.
“Dark Pyramid is a series about uncovering mysteries, and our whole creation process was an ode to that. Such collaborative fun!” said Paul Tobin. “At each step, the whole creative team saw opportunities to make the story and the characters better. More dynamic. More terrifying. More mysterious. It’s a comic about how comics should be made, and that made it into a series that will be loved."
"Dark Pyramid is a thrilling adventure into the heart of an ancient mystery,” said PJ Holden. “Working with Paul is always an adventure, he asks for the oddest monsters and weirdest creatures and I hope to deliver them! You’re gonna find some of these monsters horrifying and others adorable, it’s great fun to get to draw that kind of range.”
For fans of Raiders of the Lost Ark, The X-Files, and Ancient Aliens—Dark Pyramid drops in shops on March 12th, 2025.
