DC's Knight Terrors two-month horror crossline event is coming. The Convergence and Future Tense style two-month skip month for DC Comics that for some reason isn't happening over October and November for Hallowe'en. With July and August seeing a plethora of two-issue miniseries instead of the ongoing lines, with each featuring a DC Comics superhero or supervillain confronting their worst nightmares in a "Nightmare Realm." We have the full checklist with the news that it will end in August with Night's End…
