He explores the kind of world that allows these rooms to exist, the rivalry between streamers, how groups recruit new "stars," the fandom that follows streamers like Poker Face, and how they procure their victims. I feel a little apprehensive about adding a series that is only a few issues into its run, but Red Room is something unique. It would be easy for a story like this to veer into campiness as a way of not looking the horror right in the eyes, but Piskor doesn't flinch. In Red Room, Ed Piskor has crafted a meandering story that almost functions as a series of one-shots centered around "red rooms." Those are dark web live streams where people pay exorbitant amounts of money to watch people be creatively murdered, live. Nonetheless, here are some great horror comics that make a great jumping-off point for those who want their horror fix all year long. You can make a list of worthy comics made by a single creator, like Joe Hill or Eric Powell or Mike Mignola. There are more great horror comics out there than a single list could hope to highlight. There are plenty of examples of comics and graphic novels hitting the same heights that a horror film can, from psychological terror to revolting moments to gory humor a la Shaun of the Dead. The challenges of making a truly horrifying comic, something that seeps into your subconscious and haunts your thoughts, is one that creators have taken up over and over. On the other hand, you gain the ability to transcend the confines of reality. There is no shortage of comic books in the genre, but it's not quite as seamless a relationship as you get in movies. These are subversive, stand alone stories that are all part of a larger, twisted narrative.Comics and horror have a unique relationship.
Comics, infused with the dream of Black Mirror.
“ Red Room is a cyberpunk, outlaw, splatterpunk comic that you can’t unsee once you feast your eyes on the mayhem,” Piskor said in a statement. Not content with creating the acclaimed Hip-Hop Family Tree and redefining X-Men history with Marvel’s X-Men: Grand Design, award-winning cartoonist Ed Piskor is setting his sights even higher with his new project, a 12-issue shared universe anthology series under the title Red Room, to launch later this year from indie publisher Fantagraphics.
