Maybe you saw the news this weekend, but in case you missed it there’s new “30 Days of Night” goodness on the way from the keyboard of Mr. Steve Niles and the drawing board of legendary comics artist Bill Sienkiewicz! Comic Book Resources has the full story on “30 Days of Night: Beyond Barrrow.”

Niles: What I like about this story is that while it does take place in Northern Alaska near Barrow, it’s a whole new story with new characters, a new angle and a completely fresh take, which is why I can’t really give away too many details without completely blowing it, but basically it builds upon the whole idea that these attacks have been happening around the Arctic Circle for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

What do you think? Share your thoughts on “Beyond Barrow” right here on the Steve Niles Forums.
