Described by the publisher as “True Detective meets The Ring,” the comic centers around the titular briefcase, which has repeatedly appeared wherever tragedy strikes: it must be passed on within three days of someone taking possession of it, or else disaster will strike. Two secret agents trying to track down the case soon find themselves contending with a cult dedicated to the omen’s existence.
“I’ve never written a story in the horror genre before. Real life is already so full of it,” Kindt said in a statement. “This is the most grounded thing I’ve ever written. And as a result, it’s definitely the most horrific. I apologize in advance.”
Tyler Jenkins said, “Once again, working with Matt is exactly as it should be between collaborators. The projects we build are a pure joy to work on.” Tyler and Hilary Jenkins previously collaborated with Kindt on the rural mystery “Grass Kings,” and the offbeat scout adventure series “Black Badge,” at BOOM! Studios.
“Fear Case” #1 will be released on February 3, 2021, with covers by Jenkins, Francesco Francavilla, and Duncan Fegredo, which can be seen at The Hollywood Reporter.
