It’s time to get demonic, gritty, and bring on the gristle and grim as writer Ray Fawkes returns for Dynamite‘s Altered States with a new one-shot special, Purgatori Grindhouse.
Altered States is Dynamite’s version of DC’s Elseworlds or Marvel’s What If…?, showing other alternate realities of their characters and comics. Here, Puragotori takes the spotlight from artist Alvaro Sarraseca for a 28 page special that promises “action, horror and blood spatters,” per PR provided to Comic Book Club.
“Re-imagining our favourite demon vampire girl in a 70’s style summer teen-slasher gore-fest is, I’m going to say, some top-tier entertainment, and I think you’ll see the fun in every panel on the page,” said Fawkes. “What a perfect fit for Purgatori! What a ride!”
Here’s the official synopsis for the issue:
In the summer of 1976, Tori Sachs and her friends attend an innocent beach party to celebrate their long-awaited graduation from high school. They get more than they bargained for when they stumble right into a scene of satanic carnage, that will change them all and shock the world. Decades later in the present, the secrets of that night can finally be revealed. Fawkes and Sarraseca will unveil the truth about why those teens were targeted for slaughter that fateful night, and what unholy creature made them its victims.
The one-shot won’t hit stores until January, but will come with covers by Joseph Michael Linsner, Lucio Parrillo, and Mike Rooth, as well as cosplayer Rachel Hollon. Check some of them out below, and click for larger versions.
