The latest fan favorite horror movie to make the leap into the world of comic books is Mary Harron’s American Psycho, with Deadline announcing the upcoming official comic this week.
Being published by Sumerian, it sounds like the four-issue comic book series will both adapt the 2000 movie starring Christian Bale and also serve as a sequel to that bloody tale.
Deadline details this afternoon that the series will have “a dual narrative, one showing a different perspective of Patrick Bateman’s killing spree (with a notable “twist”), and another revealing a modern day arc with surprising connections to the past.”
In the new tale, “a social media obsessed millennial, Charlie (Charlene) Carruthers, goes on a downward spiral filled with violence. Drug fueled partying leads to bloodshed as Charlie leaves a trail of bodies on her way to discovering the truth about her dark nature.”
Michael Calero (Quested) wrote the story for the American Psycho comic, with artwork by Piotr Kowalski (The Witcher) and color by Brad Simpson (Kong of Skull Island).
American Psycho #1 will slash its way onto comic book shelves on October 11, 2023.
