Join the Mystery Society
The five-issue series introduces Nick Hammond and Anastasia Collins and has been so successful that it's moving onto its second printing. Each issue features a new adventure for the skullduggery duo while they avoid authorities while righting the wrongs committed in the world's underbellies. It's a good sign when your Senior Editor is enthused about the series.
"This book is a conspiracy theorist cum monster fan's dream!" IDW Senior Editor Bob Schreck commented. "Steve and Ashley's concept ‘Brundle-Flies' Nick and Nora from The Thin Man with a sort of Scully and Mulder from the X-Files as this well-to-do duo run the gamut exposing the truth behind ‘real life' conspiracies and all things that go bump in the night. And Fiona's contribution is amazing as anyone who has seen her work will tell you. Best thing for us is... she's bringing it to a whole new level with this series."
Steve Niles is also doing a signing tour for the book, and you can check out the list of stores after the jump. The full press release is there too.
