Make Halloween Monthly With IDW In The October Faction

Steve Niles And Damien Worm Make Halloween Monthly Starting This Fall 

IDW’s Masters Of The Macabre Introduce The October Faction 

 
It is said that no two families are alike, but never has that been more true than in the case of the Allan Family, the subject of Steve Niles and Damien Worm’s new IDW ongoing series, The October Faction. IDW Publishing has shared a news of this new series with Comic Frontline.

"The lead character is Fredrick Allan, a retired monster hunter who is now teaching Monsters & Mythology while he hides from 30 years of enemies. His heyday was in the 70's, so October Faction will flashback to those 70's monster hunting days. The main thread is about this man who is trying to get to know his family for the first time ever. Unfortunately, while he has neglected his wife she's become a pill-popping thrill-killer. His two children, just turned 19 and 20, are starting to piece together who their father is and also whether or not he is their real father. 

After writing mini-series for the better part of 25 years, I am thrilled to be writing a monthly ongoing and all the more thrilled it's with IDW. October Faction will be Halloween every month if Damien and I have anything to say about it."
