“It’s been so exciting to work on The Hillbilly,” said Titan Comics editor Phoebe Hedges. “Dead by Daylight is a rich tapestry of stories, and this is something we’ve worked hard to reflect in the comic series. I’m so proud of what the team has created, and can safely say you’ll never know what to predict with a new Dead by Daylight comic.”
Titan Comics’ new Dead by Daylight: The Hillbilly series follows the acclaimed first volume – collected as Dead by Daylight Volume 1: The Legion – the first ever graphic novel spin-off from the critically acclaimed video game. Fans can order Volume 1 at their local comic book shop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Forbidden Planet for the UK/Europe.
Dead by Daylight remains horror gaming’s most popular and enduring asymmetrical multiplayer experience. In it, four determined Survivors must face a bloodthirsty Killer in a vicious game of hide and seek. The game boasts up to 2 million daily players, and over 60 million worldwide across PC and console.
Since its release in 2016, Dead by Daylight has continued to expand its roster of characters to include countless iconic horror properties from film, television, gaming, and beyond.
