Previews: The Dark, Terror & The Creators

Alterna Comics have three upcoming digital comics coming out – two for Halloween and one for #IndieComicThursday

Alterna has three new releases this week on special release dates.

THE DARK #2 and TERROR #1 are releasing Halloween morning on October 31st, available only on comiXology.

THE CREATORS debuts with issue #1 on the first official #IndieComicThursday – November 3rd.

“Indie Comic Thursday” is an initiative created by Alterna to signify a new release day for their digital comic book titles on comiXology.  The initiative was created in an effort to release new indie comic books on a less cluttered day (generally Wednesday is the release day for 90% of publishers, largely known as “New Comic Book Day”).
