A new Image Comics horror series that's set to be released this summer is quite possibly the most perfectly titled series ever. In a time where self-aware horror is becoming more common to poke fun at common tropes, this new horror series will join Jordan Peele's new film Nope for genius titling in the genre for 2022. Taking place in a «cabin in the woods» type scenario, the series will be called exactly what someone should be thinking when something even slightly spook starts to happen: F*ck This Place.
The new comic series is set to be written by Kyle Starks, an Eisner Award nominee whose previous works include Sexcastle and Rock Candy Mountain. Primarily known for comedy, this will be his first attempt at horror as he explains in a press release written by Image Comics to announce the series. "[...]Comedy and horror are very similar beasts," says Starks. "They both rely on tone, set up and pacing. If you enjoyed my comedy works, I think you'll really love this adventure." Joining him to bring his story to life will be artist Artyom Topilin, who brings experience in the horror genre to help Stark's vision become fully realized. Previously working on the popular anthology series Ice Cream Man with the special «Quarantine» edition, Topilin is sure to bring out the terror of the story that Starks has in mind through their artwork.
