Cold Bodies



Years ago, Denise Stokes was the sole survivor of the brutal Winter Man massacre, in which several young adults were slaughtered during a powerful blizzard in Wisconsin. Now, in present day, Denise has tried to bury the past behind her, while the world around her has become obsessed with the murders through a popular film franchise called Snow Day. And as the anniversary of the killings approaches, Denise finds herself in a dark place as she begins to see the Winter Man show up again and the difference between what's real and what isn't begins to collapse around her.

From Magdalene Visaggio, the Eisner and GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer of the breakout hit Kim & Kim and creator of SyFy Channel's Vagrant Queen, and Prometheus' Andrea Mutti comes this 1980s meta-horror homage focusing on how trauma affects victims of slashers and never leaves decades later.

"The summer's funnest comic!"--The Mary Sue

"Get this most excellent book!"--Gail Simone (Batgirl)

"This outer space comic book series with a decidedly queer- and female-centric tale is what our modern culture needs."--The Advocate

"The comic feels like Tank Girl set in the world of Cowboy Bebop. In short: very, very fun."--Bitch Magazine

"An intriguing comic for all sorts of reasons"--Bleeding Cool

"An LGBTQ-positive series that features a richly diverse cast of characters"--io9

"Corin Howell's artwork on Calamity Kate is popping with energy and Mags Visaggio imbues the characters with life. This book is fun, clever and eye-catching!"--Jeff Lemire

"Visaggio is a REAL visceral, dare I say, important voice in comics. Kate is another fantastic, fun creation and I'm all in the for the ride!!"--Brian Michael Bendis

"Calamity Kate is a chaotic sword lesbian with a dashing smile and we're all going to fall in love with this gay disaster from page one."--Leah Williams
