Late Night with the Devil actor David Dastmalchian is diving back into the world of comics, partnering with the newly-launched genre company Panick Entertainment for a new horror.

Dastmalchian previously made his comics debut with Dark Horse title Count Crowley, and will co-write an untitled revenge tale with longtime associate Leah Kilpatrick. The comic is set to be a five-issue limited series.

Via THR, Dastmalchian said, “I am so excited because Leah and I are joining the Panick team and we are cooking up some very gory, scary, spooktacular comic ideas… Beware.”

Panick Entertainment is headed by Kris Longo, the former publisher of Heavy Metal Magazine. Panick is being described as a new horror and science fiction venture founded by a coterie of entertainment and comics industry veterans, including several from the world of DC. They aim to focus on genre storytelling, beginning in the field of comics and graphic novels, then platforming that into films, television, games and other media.

Other than David Dastmalchian and among other talents expected to contribute to Panick’s initial slate are comics veteran Bart Sears and Michelle Sears, Shannon Eric Denton, screenwriter Dirk Blackman, Brendan Columbus, and artist Tehani Farr.
