Satanic Panic launches a slasher mystery about a town blaming its outsiders

Matt Miner and Clay McCormack’s new horror comic places three teenage misfits at the centre of a murder panic.

Satanic Panic #1 is dated for October 28 by Mad Cave Studios, bringing a new horror mystery from writer Matt Miner and artist Clay McCormack to comic shops. Oliver Mertz provides colours and Matt Krotzer letters the 32-page, Teen+ issue. The story takes place in a small town during the 1980s, where a masked murderer’s

attacks feed an atmosphere of suspicion. Heavy metal records and Dungeons & Dragons become targets for accusations of devil worship, and three local outsiders find themselves blamed for the killings. Naz, Sal and Terry must identify the actual attacker while trying to survive a community turning against them. The

publisher’s listing offers a $4.99 standard issue and digital PDF, alongside several cover treatments. Its premise brings the familiar chase of a slasher story together with the danger of a town mistaking its prejudices for evidence. Source: Official announcement or publisher listing.
