The Haunting Of Grimley Manor in Afterlight's December 2025 Solicits

The Haunting Of Grimley Manor and Diva Satanica launch in Afterlight's December 2025 solicits and solicitations through Diamond



Article Summary

  • Afterlight Comics unveils December 2025 titles including The Haunting Of Grimley Manor and Diva Satanica.
  • British publishers continue strong US distribution via Diamond with new horror and folklore graphic novels.
  • The Haunting Of Grimley Manor debuts as a chilling wartime horror set in a haunted mansion during the Blitz.
  • Diva Satanica explores dark urban legends, while Dark Chronicles Of Cymru and Forsaken continue their runs.

In one of those quirks of fate, it seems the new Diamond Previews (digital only) contains a smattering of backstock, manga and… British publishers. Becasue, it seems, for British publishers, everything is still working out for Diamond UK who provide comics from Britain to the US in a way that others just cannot. And they also pay, which is a plus these days. We looked at how Rebellion's 2000AD and Judge Dredd Megazine are only available in Rebellion's Diamond listings not their Lunar listings. And then you get the likes of Afterlight Comics with their full December 2025 listings. With the launch of their title The Haunting Of Grimley Manor by Joseph Oliveira and Marlon Souza, and the graphic novel Diva Satanica by Brao.

DIVA SATANICA GN (MR)

(W) Brao (A / CA) Brao
She's an urban legend. A whispered name. Some call her Medusa. Others, The Queen of Evil. The Lady in Black. Vampire? Witch? Demon? No one knows for sure. But one thing is certain. No one leaves her mansion alive. And yet, people still go searching for her. Why? Because she promises you the greatest night of pleasure you've ever known… in exchange for your life. In this haunting tale, we follow Jonathan, a lonely, aimless man consumed by addiction. A string of strange, possibly supernatural encounters leads him to the legend of Diva Satänica, and what begins as curiosity soon becomes obsession.

Carmilla knows Corvina. She knows Abaddon. And she knows how this ends. But is Vida truly ready for the answers she seeks-truths soaked in betrayal, ancient hunger, and the blood of angels? Meanwhile, Lancaster's pursuit of a hidden cult reaches its climax… and ends in a spectacle of fire, screams, and silence. The veil is thin. The pieces are in place. The horror surges in this fateful fourth chapter!
