The four-issue horror miniseries kicks off in August.

James Robinson of Starman, Scarlet Witch, Leave It to Chance and Firearm fame returns to comics this year with ‘Patra, one of several new projects he has coming from Dark Horse this year and next year.

Robinson is joined by Scott Kolins (Solomon Grundy, The Flash) on the horror comic, which is inspired by slasher movies.

“I’m so thrilled to begin my many new series at Dark Horse with ‘Patra and to work with the incredible Scott Kolins,” Robinson said. “I love that we’re tipping our hats to the many slasher characters from the 1980s while also focusing on one young girl who must face this horror, growing in strength and confidence all the while, as she also solves the mystery of her own existence.
