...other comments

Marc Andreyko : "Both the novel and the film are resources I'm using, but to give any more hints would spoil the journey (and do we have some surprises for you!)...
"I'm writing the book to be both fully accessible to new readers and hit the spot for long-time fans of the property... The first few arcs chronicle origins and how the characters came to find Midian. All of this has a through line that will lead up to a big reveal down the road. And, as far as developing them, I'm taking what Clive created and extrapolating, expanding, and filling in 'lost tales.' And yes, Peloquin is in issue #1."

Piotr Kowalski and Marc Andreyko Bring Clive Barker's Nightbreed to Comics

By [ ], Multiversity Comics.com, 13 February 2014

Piotr Kowalski : "For Nightbreed, I used drawing techniques I had used before for my European comic projects, which dealt with a similar atmosphere and similar topics. In my professional life, I have done two horror stories so far...
"What I've learned while working in Europe is to follow the subject matter. Let me give you an example. While making a Western comic book one should use and apply certain visual language that would not work in the case of a classic science-fiction book. In other words, you can't draw horses and spaceships in one style. Keeping that knowledge in mind, I approach Nightbreed in a very special way. My drawings have to be moody, gloomy and dark. In this particular case, the strong subject influences the art immensely."

Piotr Kowalski and Marc Andreyko Bring Clive Barker's Nightbreed to Comics

Matt Gagnon (Boom!) : "Marc Andreyko, in addition to being a gifted storyteller, is a die-hard fan of NIGHTBREED. And artist Piotr Kowalski - who some fans will remember from his stellar work on Hulk - is pushing his style to savage new places. We have the makings of a fan-favorite horror series right out of the gate with this one."

Press Release

By [ ], Boom! Studios, 1 May 2014

Marc Andreyko : "Whenever you work on someone else's properties, you want to do right by them and you hope they're cool. Clive has been a real dream collaborator. It's been a real honor and thrill to not disappoint him... We both love this property so much, we're like little kids playing dress-up...
"Some of them [the Nightbreed] are mad, some of them are gentle souls cursed to be in these bodies. Some of them are warriors, some of them are mothers. Some of them hate who they are and want to destroy other monsters. It's just an embarrassment of riches."

Nightbreed Series Returns To Monstrous Midian

By Brian Truitt, USA Today, 4 May 2014

Marc Andreyko : "Clive and his people have been involved every step of the way. It's been a dream having Clive read stuff I write, and his input has been invaluable. Clive's guiding hand and his fingerprints are an integral part of the series...
"We start out focusing on Peloquin and Shuna Sassi in the first arc, but characters who have never had much 'screen time' rapidly come into play. In the initial stories, [Dirk] Lylesburg is our guide, as he reveals origins and how these characters found their way to Midian.
"We're building on the characters' pasts and how they came to find community in Midian. The secrets/origins of the city itself will be doled out - gradually."

Marc Andreyko Shines Light on Clive Barker's Nightbreed

By TJ Dietsch, Comic Book Resources.com, 4 June 2014

Ben Meares: "Everybody I've spoken to absolutely loves [Nightbreed] - we've got Marc Andreyko writing it, we've got Piotr Kawalski, who actually used to draw The Incredible Hulk, drawing it who has completely come into his element on this one. It's very, very clear that Nightbreed is where the passion lies for this guy and it comes through and it's gorgeous. "
