Dead Teenagers #1 Advance Preview

 

COVER A BY NAOMI FRANQ

 

Edge of Tomorrow (or Live Die Repeat) showed us a soldier's worst nightmare: forced to keep reliving a Kobayashi Maru scenario. Groundhog Day forced a man to relive one day until he turned his life around for the better. But both those stories followed adults. How will teens cope with being caught in a time loop? Especially when it involves their worst nightmare: Prom Night! And will Jamie Lee Curtis help them escape?

HELL IS THE ‘90s — THERE’S NO ESCAPING HIGH SCHOOL! This spring, Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997 – is proud to present DEAD TEENAGERS #1, a 90-obsessed horror escapade about prom night ‘97 – and five friends who have been living and dying inside it ever since – a from GLAAD Award-nominated writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle (Maw, Be Not Afraid) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Caitlin Yarsky (Black Hammer Reborn, EC's Cruel Universe). Brash and brutal, the series is the most clever and compulsively page-turning horror thriller of the year. DEAD TEENAGERS #1 drops on March 18, 2026. Since 1997, five friends have been trapped in the ultimate nightmare as a mysterious entity forces them to relive their first prom night over and over again... and re-kills them in new and increasingly insane ways each time. They dress up. They party. They make out. And no matter what they try to change, they always die... until now. Something is about to break the cycle that has kept Alicia, J.T., Ryder, Brandy, and their group of friends locked in a bizarre purgatory beyond all understanding... but what they find on the other side will be the most disturbing revelation of all. "I think most of us have feared, at one point or another, that high school might literally never end,” said writer Jude Ellison S. Doyle. “Those of us who’ve made it out can also recall looking back and realizing that what we took for granted, back in those days, was actually terrifying. DEAD TEENAGERS is about both those feelings — about what it takes to get unstuck from your teen years and start growing up."  “Jude is already recognized as a master storyteller when it comes to thematically resonant horror, and I’m excited for readers to get a taste of his pitch-black comedic chops as well,” said Oni Press Senior Editor Allyson Gronowitz. “Dead Teenagers is a brutally funny ode to the very real AND very fake horrors of high school… which no one escapes from unscathed. Meanwhile, Caitlin Yarsky’s art takes the terror and satire to a whole new level…re-exposing you to ‘90s and Y2K fashion styles you wish you could forget ever existed. It’s a fright and a delight!” With a unique variant cover on each issue by interior series artist Caitlin Yarsky homage to an iconic film from the decade – alongside main covers by Naomi Franq (Tales from Harrow County: Death's Choir) and variants by Keyla Valerio (Stranger Things: The Voyage) and Brandt&Stein (Crowded) – hell is the 90s in his genre-distorting ode to the generation that gave us Scream and Buffy the Vampire Slayer …and the little bitty bits of viscera that are left of them.      Now, let's take a look inside:           Here are more cover options:   Valerio Cover   HOMAGE VARIANT BY CAITLIN YARSKY VARIANT COVER (1:20) BY BRANDT&STEIN   DEAD TEENAGERS is a terrifying time loop tale of terror.

Steve Trevor awakens to find a letter on the adjacent pillow. Diana apologizes for having to leave before he awoke. His features glow after their first night together. Steve is amazed that Diana would help combat a mouse infestation. Still, he wants to see her again. What will he find when he arrives at the Capitol Building in Washington, DC? And does Diana share his hopes of transforming their date into a relationship? Let's leap into Wonder Woman #22 and see!

 

Story

Steve glides along, emotionally inhabiting cloud nine, as he walks across Washington, DC. A frightened stranger spurs Steve's pace. When he arrives, his training kicks in. Steve whips out his gun to defend Diana against a giant mouse in Wonder Woman #22. But Diana yells at Steve not to shoot.

 

Diana has endured terrible heartbreak. The news media turned the people of her adoptive country against immigrants from Themyscira. Sergeant Steel and AXE hunted down and killed her fellow Amazons. Steve's loss threatened to undo Diana completely. So, as she transitions from battling the Sovereign to forging a new normal, Tom King takes us back to the early days of Diana and Steve’s relationship.

 

In Wonder Woman #22, the Mouseman may not realize it, but he is paving the way for the Sovereign's war on the Amazons. The Mouseman's arguments evoke those of US citizens interviewed by reporters in the wake of Emelie’s deadly bar brawl. In this story that evokes Superman II and January 6, 2021, the Mouseman may seem off-balance. Yet he is all too familiar. We all want to protect our family’s interests. Who doesn’t want to ensure their community meets their needs? It's the way we pursue the causes we care about that defines whether we are heroes or villains.

 

Art

When Steve awakens, spears stand in a corner of the bedroom, while a shield bearing an eagle hangs above the headboard. A note leans against the pillow beside him, while his shirt and pants lie folded at his feet. After reading Diana's letter, he smiles and roleplays a conversation while dressing. When Steve walks outside, his relaxed gait contrasts with the man charging toward him in slacks, a long-sleeve shirt, and a tie. The man's satchel flies open. As the breeze carries the man’s papers away, Steve grasps him by the arms. The wide-eyed stranger wrenches Steve's T-shirt, points toward the US Capitol, and flees.

 

Caitlin Yarsky’s whimsical art in Wonder Woman #22 conveys the damage the mice have done to the Capitol building. Sections of the roof are missing, a column has snapped, and one mouse peers out of the broken dome. After casting a pleasing lavender shade in Diana’s bedroom, Alex Guimaráes paints Diana’s battle with the mice with a gentler hue. But there's nothing gentle about the mouse that threatens to devour Diana. Beneath light pink clouds, Diana grasps the mouse’s ivory teeth, braving splashes of bluish-white saliva while fending off the mouse’s mighty maw.

 

As Diana battles the mice, Steve's fright fades to awkwardness. Clayton Cowles fills white dialogue balloons with black uppercase text as Diana combats the mice in Wonder Woman #22. In contrast to his earlier roleplaying, Steve digs his hands into the pockets of his green camo pants. The letters in a balloon flowed like a gentle current when he awakened. Now, giant red squeaks resound through Washington, DC. Yet nothing frightens Steve more than Diana's reaction to the question burning inside him. Thanks to DC Comics for providing a review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

While attraction draws people together, similar needs and interests forge lasting partnerships. As Steve and Diana enter the early fumbling stages of their relationship, Tom King, Caitlin Yarsky, Alex Guimaráes, and Clayton Cowles show how they must learn to trust each other and meet each other's needs in Wonder Woman #22.

 

Rating 9.6/10
