IDW Debuts the Haunting Cover Artwork to May’s Dark Spaces: Good Deeds #1

Since its initial announcement at San Diego Comic-Con last summer, Dark Spaces: Good Deeds—the second comic book miniseries in New York Times best-selling author Scott Snyder’s curated line of IDW original projects—has been shrouded in secrecy. This eerie historical thriller of obsession, power, and redemption carefully kept from the public, waiting for just the right time to surface…and that time is now!

In anticipation of the series launch in May, IDW unveiled the ethereal cover artwork for the first issue of Dark Spaces: Good Deeds, giving the first tantalizing taste of the six-issue miniseries written by Che Grayson (Batman: Urban Legends), with art by Kelsey Ramsay (Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, I Love Rock-n-Roll), and colors by Ronda Pattison (Dark Spaces: Wildfire). “The most rewarding part of overseeing Dark Spaces is watching the ascendant talent of newcomers evolve from ideas into incredible new comic books,” says Snyder. “Che and Kelsey have crafted a pitch-perfect, soul-searing mystery in Good Deeds. It’s the perfect story to expand the Dark Spaces line to visionary new creators…and it’s only the first of more to come.”

The unifying theme of Scott Snyder’s Dark Spaces line is the exploration of decisions made—and irreversible actions taken—by desperate people in desperate situations. Each character-driven entry in the Dark Spaces anthology series is a fully contained, standalone story written or curated by Snyder, championing the new generation of comic creators.

As testament to Dark Spaces’ commitment to up-and-coming talent, Good Deeds #1 features evocative covers from a gifted handpicked team, including series artist Ramsay, Elizabeth Beals (Star Trek: The Next Generation—Terra Incognita), Hayden Sherman (Dark Spaces: Wildfire), and Martin Morazzo (Ice Cream Man) with colors by Chris O’Halloran. In Good Deeds, teenager Cheyenne Rite and her mother, Rebecca, move to St. Augustine, Florida, in search of a fresh start. They cross paths with Jean McKnight, a disgraced big-city journalist determined to rebuild her career, starting with a fluff piece on the town’s upcoming 450th anniversary celebration. When the quaint community’s festivities give way to bloodshed, Jean begins an investigation, and the women find themselves at the heart of a supernatural conspiracy linked to St. Augustine’s sinister colonial past.

“I’m incredibly excited to get this into the hands of horror fans who are searching for a story that will be scary and thought-provoking in equal measure,” says Grayson. “I’ve always been drawn to stories where flawed characters find themselves thrust in the middle of a mystery. But the only way they can uncover the truth of that mystery is if they face their own dark secrets. I hope that readers find Jean’s journey really satisfying as she searches for meaning in the world and in her own life.”

“It’s been such an effortless collaboration with this absolute powerhouse of a team,” says Ramsay. “I am beyond excited for when Good Deeds reaches readers, and I can only hope our story spooks readers into loving it!” “Scott and I are thrilled to see Che and Kelsey thriving in the Dark Spaces spotlight. They ran with the challenge of following Wildfire, and their work in Good Deeds exemplifies the vision for this line. It’s a razor-sharp and unsettling story told fearlessly by creators on the verge of becoming the industry’s next household names. The mystery of Cheyenne and Jean’s unusual partnership haunts every page, and we can’t wait to share it with readers,” says senior editor Maggie Howell.

[worldly-fluster]

Oki this is Part 2 of the "Someone else says I love you/asks you out before him"

I know at least some of you are excited for this, I hope it turns out good cause I have no plan, we ball lol

Sylus, Xavier, Zayne, Rafayel

I'm gonna base what happens on the random poll I didn't mean to make and make this into mostly fluff-hopefully. @lemurianmaster Hope this met expectations ❤️

ALSO- I'm feeling a little unsatisfied with Xavier's so I might make a stand alone post for his, I mean, I'll finish this one but imma make another cause it just doesn't sit right with me how his went. I is unsatisfied lol

Sylus-

Recap: Sylus saw you being friendly with a 'rando' at a coffee shop, the last thing he heard before the guy left was 'bye babes, Love you!'

•...Uh Oh. Oh no.

•He was nothing if not pissed.

•Before he could get up and get between you two, you both went separate ways and you came back to your seat next to him.

•He already has Mephisto following the guy though.

•He would do it himself but he wants to spend as much time with you as he can.

•He gives you a smirk, with a raised eyebrow. If you squint you could see a little bit of a furrow between.

•You barely notice, still too happy off of seeing 'that rando' as you start prattling off.

•He's in the middle of imagining ways to...play with this guy, not really paying attention to what you're saying and nodding along, when he hears it.

•Something that makes him freeze up.

•"-I haven't seen my cousin in so long-"

•He doesn't even realize he stopped breathing for a moment until you ask if he's okay.

•His shoulders relaxed, as if the weight of the world left his shoulders as he smiles.

•"I'm alright now Sweetie, just figured something out that has bothered me is all...what do you say we go to my place for some one on one time? I think Mephisto needs attention."

Xavier-

Recap: Tara was bored and Nero was wanting to start shit lol. Nero tried asking you on a date, as a friend of course, and Xavier didn't take it well...

•Xavier didn't know what to do.

•He wants you to stay by his side at all times, but if being with someone that isn't...him... is what will make you happy then, what else can he do?

•He feels that pulling away from you would help but every time he even thinks about you with someone else, well, his evol acts up...

•One time his evol caused a black out and you kinda freaked out in your apartment alone, you booked it to Xavier's apartment for 'safety'.

•Needless to say after that there were multiple power outages.

•Just knowing that you would choose to go to him instead of anyone else-any man- it made him feel better.

•He can live like this...for maybe a bit more.

•He'll tell you sooner or later but right now he just wants- needs you.

Zayne-

Recap: Zayne overheard you and Grayson trying to figure out how he(Grayson) can confess to a girl he likes but Zayne misunderstood it thinking Grayson was confessing to you, he gets overwhelmed from work and the stress from this 'confession' and passes out. Next thing he knows he's waking up to your note telling him to rest...

•Zayne refuses to talk to Grayson in the week that follows.

•He just can't get it out of his head, hearing him 'confess' to you really hit a nerve.

•It doesn't help that he hasn't been able to see you or hear from you in that time because you got swamped in work, he knows you procrastinated but it came back to bite you. He just hates that it bit him too. Huff.

•In his mind you and Grayson may as well be dating, especially since he heard that Grayson got a girlfriend the day after he heard the 'confession'.

•He stressing.

•Yvonne went into his office one day and when she saw him working non stop, she convinced him to take a short break. His hands were shaking from too much Caffeine and not enough food, so he agreed easily.

•He could not have been more grateful for this break.

•He saw Grayson eating lunch with this girl, holding her hand, staring lovingly into her eyes. They kissed.

•At first he thought Grayson was cheating on you, but then the pieces started to come together.

•You weren't dating Grayson.

•He felt like his heart was flying.

•The feeling of relief made his head spin slightly, or that could have been the lack of eating, who knows.

•He immediately pulled out his phone, with a soft smile on his face and called you.

•"Hello?"

•"It's been a while. If you aren't busy, would you like to go to the new bakery that opened not far from the hospital? We can catch up, my treat."

Rafayel-

Recap: He was wanting attention and tried calling you but you didn't answer. He got excited when you 'called back' only to be disappointed when he heard you talk about being in love with this Mystery guy, he got sad and hung up. We ended with him cuddling with your plushies and blankets you left at his place. Now we continue...

•He is ignoring you...for all but 10 minutes.

•He sent an S.O.S text to both you and Thomas.

•then put his phone on silent to wait.

•Ended up falling asleep in the blankets and plushies.

•Woke up not long after to someone banging on his door.

•He wonders who it is.

•When he opens the door, he doesn't even get the chance to get a full 'Welp hello miss bodyguard' before you're all in his business. Checking for injuries and making sure he's okay.

•His heart feels like it's dying. He swears.

•"Why did you text S.O.S??? Thomas is freaking out thinking your dying!"

•You notice he isn't responding and just staring at you.

•You take his face in your hands and rub your thumbs on his cheeks while searching his face.

•You can hear him breathe in sharply as his hands loosely grip onto your wrists to keep them there.

•This.

•This is where he belongs. In your hands.

•Even if you 'love someone else', as long as you stay by his side he doesn't mind facing the world anymore.

Hello Bruce Wayne enjoyers!! Time for me to talk about his family (the people, the backgrounds, languages, etc) in my version of DC!! Excluding the Batkids here, because I want to talk more about Bruce's generation and further back.

So. First off, Bruce has two siblings in my version of things. Occasionally three (kinda) for my fun little "Dick Grayson is a Wayne" thing, but I'll be ignoring him for now. Bruce's two consistent siblings are both older than him! Thomas Wayne Jr, of course, and Harley Quinn (their father wasn't all that faithful to Bruce and Thomas Jr's mother).

TJ (as I often see his name shortened to) is about 15 years older than Bruce, but he was kicked out for being a "disappointment" at the age of 18, and Bruce doesn't even know he exists until he pops up again.

Harley is five years older than Bruce. Despite all their years of fighting, they do eventually become pretty good friends. One night, long after Bruce had revealed his identity to her, they drunkenly sent DNA to a lab because they "looked so similar". Yeah, that's how they found out they actually WERE siblings.

Okay so! Onto parents. Martha is Russian. Thomas is Italian American and Southern American (Texan, on his mother's side. Italian-American, because in my version the Waynes were a well-known Gotham mafia family, before Thomas died).

Bruce's first fluent language was Italian, his second was Russian, and it didn't take him long to learn English. Alfred taught him, and Thomas talked to the kid in his Texan accent frequently, so.. Naturally Bruce ended up with a pretty strong Texan accent, with a few fancy-type English pronunciations mixed in. He's very good at putting on Alfred's accent, and tends to use that to cover up his natural Texan one.

Bruce also accidentally slips into Italian all the time, and even though he can speak perfectly fluent English he still goes "Uhhh.. how do you say uh.. you know, that thing? That thing you're holding? Ummm.." All the time.

He often mixes up the words too, usually when excited about something. On talk shows and such, the type that give guests cute animals for some charity reason or other, he ONLY talks to the animals in Italian. Usually with cats it's things such as "Oh, che ragazzo carino! Un gattino così soffice! Sì, sei tu! Sì, sei tu!" and etc. The media LOVES it, and sees it as a very cute and attractive trait of his.

He also slips into Italian when the Justice League is being annoying, usually when he's mid-lecturing them and they refuse to pay attention. "Ascoltate, stronzi! Fai attenzione! Oh mio Dio, siete tutti così dannatamente irritanti a volte... Che cazzo farò con voi inutili??" It's the only time you'll ever catch him swearing at his colleagues while in costume.

Info on Deniz Camp,Pornsak Pichetshote and Che Graysons absolute books coming soon let’s hope it’s good 🤞

[zahri-melitor]

I just really wish people would cross check random claims they’re making in these stories.

This is Che Grayson’s Birds of Prey which…look it’s not a Birds of Prey. You probably could have got way with calling it a Ravens, but it’s not BOP.

“Noah was sent to Arkham Asylum. The youngest patient in the hospital’s history.”

(Urban Legends #14)

Okay, so we’re claiming here that 13 is the youngest anyone’s been at Arkham.

Which…okay Abigail Arkham grew up at the asylum but technically wasn’t a patient. So you’re clear on that.

Cassius Payne was held at STAR Labs not Arkham, as best as I know (also in the ‘toddler’ stakes). And he’s technically not yet back in continuity in Prime Earth.

But we also have Elliot Strummer, over in House of Gotham in Tec. A storyline that finished the month before this story was published. And Strummer is teeny tiny the first time he’s held at Arkham because there was no space at the orphanage. He’s at MOST 13, probably more like 10.

Just…don’t make bold claims like this about ‘youngest’ when writing, because audiences will try to work out if there’s true and if it’s probably unlikely/wrong from characters appearing in other stories in VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY maybe don’t risk it.

[thevindicativevordan]

There’s 3 writers still attached to Absolute that haven’t announced anything, any predictions on what they’ll do what you hope they’ll do?

I believe there’s only two left: Che Grayson and Pornsak Pichetshote. A theory I’ve seen is that this ad teases all of the Absolute books:

If you look at the Earth 0 figures, thus far the Absolute books have debuted corresponding Absolute versions. We’ve got Batman (Snyder), Superman (Aaron), Wonder Woman (Thompson), Flash (Lemire), GL (Ewing), and Martian Manhunter (Camp). Booster Gold obviously serves as the bridge character that connects the two universes. John being featured instead of Jo does throw a wrinkle in that theory, but you can excuse it either as John still being in the AGL book, or John merely standing in for the GL franchise in general. If this theory holds true, then the last two books are Zatanna and Starfire related. Could be solos, could be team books, maybe Absolute Shadowpact and Absolute Titans. I guess Grayson would be doing Starfire and Pichetshote would be doing Zatanna.

Pivoting to what I want, I want this theory to be wrong. This is a golden opportunity for DC to get people to care about their minority characters who were created as minorities from the start. You’ve got two minority creators here, safe bet the leads of the books will be the same race as the writers, meaning Grayson will be writing a black lead and Pichetshote will be writing an Asian one. I want Grayson to write Absolute Vixen and Pichetshote to write Absolute Atom (Ryan Choi).

With the success of the Absolute line thus far - every time a new Absolute book drops all the other Absolute books get boosted in Amazon’s digital rankings - this is the chance to finally get people to care about Vixen and Choi Atom. People who would never normally check those books out might do so now, out of a desire to keep up with the whole Absolute line.

I don't know if someone has asked this before but why does Shiva desire death so much? From what i see she seem to be a person who quite enjoy her life at the moment

Because it's more dramatic.

Shiva's death wish thing wasn't really a thing until Kelley Puckett's BATGIRL run, where he hinted at it coming from Shiva's regret over killing so many people. The idea itself is kinda lame for the exact reason you mentioned, but Puckett, to his credit, made it work. First, because he was somewhat subtle about it, and most importantly, because it set up a strong, tangible connection between Cass and Shiva.

Cass understanding Shiva's death wish isn't just some heroic power up moment or a sudden "gotcha!". It's Cass, finally free of her own guilt, being able to see Shiva and understand her the same way Shiva understood Cass. It's looking through Shiva and finding a mirror, finding the same sense of self-destructive guilt she had, the same thing that led her to be killed at Shiva's hands in the first place. It's a bridge between them, a stunning moment of pure reflection, and it works beautifully as a culmination of Cass' entire arc through the run. Which is why, as much as I deeply dislike Shiva having a death wish, I can't in all honesty talk shit about the way Puckett did it.

I can and I will, however, talk shit about the way everyone else after him did it tho', because it always sucked. Dixon used it as an extension of his own hacky idea that Shiva was always looking for someone who would defeat her. Gabrych used it as part of his rushed, convoluted and overall pretty gross retcon of Shiva's backstory. And Che Grayson used it to write a story about empty nesters and grief that kinnnda worked within itself but completely falls apart the moment you put it into context.

Overall, I agree. Shiva wanting to die is nonsensical. She's a fighter, a warrior, she knows very well she's going to die. She shouldn't be written as someone constantly searching for something that she knows is going to happen anyway. And things like remorse or regret should be anathema to her, not because she's some heartless monster, but because she's so devoted to living in the moment.

Also, fun story: Puckett and Scott did a three page Shiva story for a Batgirls Secret Origins special that added a little bit more context to the twist:

Again, not something I personally agree on, but I can't deny the work they put in.

Malato

Pov. t/n si prende cura di Dick che ha l'influenza.

Dick Grayson si sveglio e si mise in posizione seduta, ma un capogiro e il mal di ossa lo spinsero a sdragliarsi di nuovo giro la testa per guardare affianco a lui e vendendo il posto libero si acciglio finche non senti la porta aprirsi.

"buongiorno tesoro." disse t/n con la colazione in mano. Dick la guardo e sorrise "ehi piccola" saluto Dick e poi cerco di mettersi a sedere, ma un altro capogiro lo raggiunse e con un gemito si sdragliò di nuovo.

t/n poso la colazione sul comodino e gli si avvicino preoccupata. "tesoro stai bene?" chiese t/n "si solo un capogiro." rispose Dick facendo del suo meglio per fingere di stare bene, ma poi starnutì e subito dopo ci fu un colpo di tosse . "io non credo sia solo un capogiro tesoro." disse t/n posandogli la mano sulla fronte.

"piccola sto bene davvero." disse Dick cercando di toglierle la mano dalla sua fronte. "scotti aspetta qua vado a prendere il termometro." disse t/n. "tesoro non ce nè bisogno." cerco di convincerla Dick.

"non insistere con me vado a prendere il termometro e poi ti misuri la febbre, farai colazione e poi ti riposerai capito" disse t/n. "si signora." disse Dick sorridendo. t/n si diresse verso l'uscita alzando gli occhi al cielo.

Quando t/n torno misuro la temperatura a Dick. " cavolo tesoro hai la febbre a 39 vado a prenderti la medicina." disse T/n. Dick annui e inizio a fare colazione. T/n torno con un bicchiere d'acqua e la medicina e gliela porse Dick la prese.

"bene ti dovrai sentire meglio tra poco per il resto della giornata niente pattuglia e niente allenamento capito." disse t/n "sono d'accordo con te solo se stai con me tutto il giorno." disse Dick.
