CEMETERY KIDS RUN RABID (2025) #1 CVR C GEGE SCHALL

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THIS GAME, EVEN IN YOUR DREAMS. Acclaimed creators Zac Thompson (Into the Unbeing—Parts 1 & 2) and Daniel Irrizari (Judge Dredd, XINO) enter an synapse-shredding new level of the groundbreaking science-horror hybrid that began with CEMETERY KIDS DON'T DIE!

One year ago, four friends barely escaped the unrelenting terror of the video game called Nightmare Cemetery. After spending endless hours locked into the innovative Dreamwave—the first gaming console played entirely while you sleep—in order to save one of their own from the game’s all-too-real consequences, they survived . . . barely. But after their harrowing rescue, they’ve decided they’ve had enough of Nightmare Cemetery and its enigmatic final boss, the King of Sleep. That is, until the newest DLC, The Blighted Sprawl, suddenly appears online with a promise to reveal the truth of what actually lurks at the heart of Nightmare Cemetery’s digital darkness . . . and why its effects are now bleeding out into the real world in an array of bizarre and disturbing new ways.

The sold-out series that AiPT! called “compelling sci-fi horror . . . that feels closer to home than it should” returns with a perfect new jumping-on point for the series that challenges Stephen King, Clive Barker, and David Cronenberg to a three-way PVP deathmatch in a cyberpunk haunted house!
