Returning to your hometown is never easy, but for Heather Hutchens, it’s a nightmare… Babylon Cove is a five-issue horror romantic comedy series from Mad Cave Studios, written by Rafer Roberts with art by Joe Eisma, colors by Marissa Louise, and lettering by Crank!, featuring a variant cover by Eric Powell.
This is a story about Heather, a no-nonsense career-gal who returns to her picturesque New England hometown for the first time in a decade to attend a family funeral; Dennis, the all-American dreamboat who broke Heather’s heart in high school; Charlie, the late-blooming shy boy who Heather never gave the time of day, and Karthon, the ancient demon with plans to feast on the flesh of everyone in town.
If you ever wondered what would happen if Stephen King were allowed to write one of those Hallmark holiday movies…Welcome to BABYLON COVE.
Blending sharp romantic comedy instincts with straight-up horror, Babylon Cove gleefully dismantles the love triangle, replacing polite small-town tension with monsters, mayhem, and emotional reckoning.
Babylon Cove is about avoidance, self-sabotage, and the desperate need to be loved—where the real danger isn’t just the demon stalking the town, but the damage we do when we refuse to confront who we were, the harm we caused, and who we might still become.
Babylon Cove #1 (of 5) hits comic shop shelves May 20, 2026, with FOC on April 27.
