James Robinson + Scott Kolins bring the 1980s slasher movie-inspired ‘Patra to Dark Horse

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.
