What's Inside Cullen Bunn's Body Bag in Massive October 2023 Solicits

Cullen Bunn's Body Bag is a comic book published by Massive Publishing, in a black polybag, with no details on what is inside it, or who is drawing it.


Okay, so this is a good one. Cullen Bunn's Body Bag is a comic book published by Massive Publishing, in a black polybag, with no details on what is inside it, or who is drawing it, other than it is written by Cullen Bunn. And that, Dan Slott, is how you keep a comic book's content super secret. From his Overlook imprint, each issue of Body bag will feature new horror archtyoes and figures making their debut appearance. But until you rip open the bag, you will have no idea. It's in Massive's October 2023 solicits and solicitations, as well as the launch of American Psycho and Forgotten Wars, a spinoff from Wesley Snipes' Exiled.

From the Eisner-nominated pages of Harrow County to the pre-pandemic prescience of The Empty Man, Cullen Bunn has made a prolific career of terrorizing comic fans. Now the man who killed the Marvel Universe and countless other characters is ready to show you where the bodies are buried… Cullen Bunn's Body Bag, the debut release of Overlook, will introduce the world to four new creatures straight from the twisted imagination of the horror scribe. But which creature will invade your nightmares? Four different tales of terror. Four startling new monsters. Four different approaches to the beasts that go bump in the night. Each sealed "Body Bag" contains the chance to uncover alternate storylines and monsters. So tread lightly. Hold your breath. There's no way of telling which monster you'll uncover… until you
unzip the body bag. With each monster you'll see a very different story play out in a gruesome and frightening way… This is pure, horrific fun on the page!
