Cullen Bunn + Danny Luckert return to the world of ‘Beyond Mortal’ for ‘Jumpscare’

The duo introduce a new superhero with a unique super power that draws from horror movies.

Cullen Bunn and Danny Luckert’s Beyond Mortal graphic novel is getting a sequel of sorts in Jumpscare, a new miniseries by the writer and artist duo. The miniseries takes place after the events of the graphic novel and introduces a new horror superhero called Jumpscare. Jim Campbell is lettering the miniseries.

“Hands down, Jumpscare is some of the most fun I’ve ever had writing a comic,” Bunn said in the press release. “I absolutely love this character. She’s everything I love about horror movies, everything I love about superheroes, everything I love about comics, all rolled into one character. If you’re a horror fan, get ready to meet your new favorite superhero.”

Bunn added in his newsletter that the character is “a super-slasher who is a bit Deadpool, a bit Harley Quinn, a bit Tank Girl, and 1000% everything I love about what I do.”

Beyond Mortal combines two things Bunn is famous for — super-heroes and horror, as a world protected by a pantheon of heroes must face it’s greatest challenge — an invasion by the elder gods.

“If you know me, you know I love superheroes,” said Bunn. “You also know I love-love-love horror. While I’ve frequently infused horror elements into my superhero comics, I’ve never done a full-on horror book in a superhero universe. Well, here you have it. Beyond Mortal is sort of a fever dream of heroics and terror. And I think fans of superheroes will love it. And so will horror fiends.”
