Dead by Daylight: The Hillbilly Announcement

 


Titan Comics released their first Dead By Daylight series awhile back, and what a rock-and-roll thriller it was! Four teens with rough upbringings sought healing through hurting others. Sadly, they found meaning in mayhem. The series probed our responsibility to the young, and reminded us that some people feel so out-of-touch with society that they opt to go out in a blaze of violence. What does Titan Comics have in store for their new Dead By Daylight series? And what will it say about how we live our lives?

Here's all the info from Titan Comics:
