from the official DSTLRY Press Release . . . . . DSTLRY SLASHES INTO APRIL WITH KNIFE, A MIND-BENDING SLASHER COMIC FROM MILES GUNTER & PATRICK MULHOLLAND KNIFE #1 Open Order Cover A by Patrick Mulholland LOS ANGELES, CA / NEW YORK, NY — January 21, 2025 — DSTLRY, the next-generation publisher redefining creator-owned comic books and collectibles, is thrilled to announce KNIFE, a horror action series from writer Miles Gunter (B.P.R.D.) and artist Patrick Mulholland (Power Rangers) debuting this April. The visceral thriller follows Paige Russell, a yoga instructor navigating the anxieties of her first class. She soon faces more challenges than teaching the downward-dog pose as an ancient blade containing sinister primordial power invades her studio. This KNIFE possesses anyone who touches it, instantly turning them into an unstoppable killing machine—but somehow Paige is immune to its hold.  Paige joins forces with Riva—a survivor of the KNIFE’s destruction who sports a molotov-cocktail firing shotgun—to decipher the weapon’s nature and survive its brutal wrath.  KNIFE #1 Open Order Cover B by Patrick Mulholland “KNIFE takes the slasher premise into new territory,” explains co-creator and writer Miles Gunter. “Cutting deeper, I’m analyzing what it means to maintain calm no matter the chaos engulfing your world. KNIFE is a meditation on maintaining your sense of self in the face of relentless adversity."  “This is horror at its most widescreen. Chaotic, unhinged, and wild,” continues co-creator and artist Patrick Mulholland. “It’s a concept that could only work in comics—specifically DSTLRY’s oversized format. We’re constructing a visceral thrill ride for your eyeballs, as well as a story that’s good for your heart. And that’s something we need more of in comics right now.”  “Miles has the ability to straddle massive action set pieces with intimate characterization,” says DSTLRY CCO & Co-Founder Chip Mosher. “KNIFE is an incredibly exciting entry into the DSTLRY library, creating one of the most memorable horror experiences of the year,” continues CEO & Co-Founder David Steinberger.  KNIFE #1 1/10 Incentive Cover C by Nicoletta Baldari Each issue of KNIFE is presented in DSTLRY’s perfect-bound Prestige format, featuring wraparound covers with spot gloss on robust cover stock, complemented by 48 pages of exquisite interior stock. “It’s the DSTLRY difference,” says DSTLRY CCO & Co-Founder Chip Mosher.
