Welcome back to Comics FOREVER! I just saw LONGLEGS a couple nights ago (don't worry, absolutely no spoilers ahead!) so I have serial killers on the brain (slightly moreso than I always do, at least). Here's some serial killer themed comics that happen to have sequels coming out right now!
BATMAN: GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT by Brian Augustin & Mike Mignola is all about Batman in the Victorian era tracking down Jack the Ripper! It's fitting that one of the first Elseworlds books DC created should also be about one of the first infamous murderers! The iconic story is available in trade paperback, while the sequel series is coming out NOW in single issues! The first 2 issues of BATMAN GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT: THE KRYPTONIAN AGE by Andy Diggle & Leandro Fernandez are out now, and it's expanding this alternate universe to include the whole pantheon of heroes and villains in the DCU
STRAY DOGS by Tony Fleecs & Trish Forstner is a genre-twisting story about.. well, a bunch of stray dogs! The motley crew of mutts all get taken in by one man, the man who made them strays in the first place: the man who murdered all of their owners! The juxtaposition of Disney-esque art and graphic violence is as twisted as it is beautiful. If you loved Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, this series is definitely for you! Plus! Stray Dogs has a sequel series coming out in single issues too: FERAL! It's all about 3 house cats that get stranded in the woods during a rabies outbreak. It's Homeward Bound in a zombie apocalypse!
