James Tynion IV and Steve Foxe, have announced the second issue of the anthology “Razorblades: The Horror Magazine,” slated for November 2020. The creators are also giving horror fans another stab at the anthology through a brand-new subscription program, so readers don’t have to fear missing out on future issues.
“Razorblades” #2, featuring a cover by Eisner-winning “Little Bird” artist Ian Bertram and “Something is Killing the Children” colorist Miquel Muerto, is an almost 80-page collection of comics, prose, interviews, and illustrations, with creators like Zac Thompson & Jen Hickman (“Lonely Receiver”), Josh Simmons (“Flayed Corpse and Other Stories”), Jen Bartel (“Blackbird”), Gou Tanabe (“At the Mountains of Madness”), Tini Howard (“Excalibur”), Joshua Hixson (“The Plot”), Marie Enger (“Regression”), Matthew Rosenberg & Tyler Boss (“4 Kids Walk Into a Bank”), and more.
Fans only have between reading this and Halloween at midnight Eastern Standard Time to secure “Razorblades” #2 in print from ReadRazorblades.com for $15 USD (plus shipping). Tiny Onion Studios is also offering a way for fans to guarantee their possession of future issues; a limited-time $60 USD (plus shipping) subscription that includes print copies of “Razorblades” #2 through “Razorblades” #5, as well as a special reprint of “Razorblades” #1 featuring a new cover from “Sirenhead” creator Trevor Henderson. Tiny Onion also offers fans a Premium Subscription for $80 USD (plus shipping), which includes postcard-size prints with each issue, a collector’s box, and exclusive “Razorblades” enamel pins.
Future issues of “Razorblades” will have similar print-order windows, while the digital edition of each “Razorblades” issue will remain available through ReadRazorblades.com, for whatever price readers would like to pay.
“This all started as a simple dream of how to best create a platform to spotlight all of the incredible creators in the world of horror comics and horror illustrations, and let them loose,” Tynion IV said in the press release.
“I know it’s cliché to say, but ‘Razorblades’ #1 really was a labor of (exceptionally gory) love. And it does feel especially appropriate, of course, that this second issue comes out right in the shadow of Halloween, at a time when almost all of us could use a frightening escape from too-terrifying real life,” Foxe added.
“Razorblades” #1 and #2 print and ship in November, with future issues following every three months through summer 2021.
