Take an Exclusive Look at NIGHTS 'Season 2'—Issue #13 Brings New Arc of Fan-Favorite Comic (2024)

Whether you’ve been a loyal reader of theNightscomic book series by Wyatt Kennedy or this is the first time you’ve heard of it, you’ll want to take a look at the exclusive sneak peeks we have in store for you today. Nights is the perfect comic book tale for lovers of recent anime sensation Dandadan, but it has a ton of Studio Ghibli inspiration in there, too. Not to mention, it’s a fantasy-horror story that still manages to slip in a lot of heart and humor. And what could be better than that? Oh yes, some superb illustrations by artist Luigi Formisano. If you’re looking for a new comic to dive into in 2025, Nights is the perfect fit because it’ll be wrapping up its first story arc in January and launching its “season two” on February 26.

To entice you, we have some exclusive looks at season two or issue #13 of Nights, alongside some exciting comments from its creators. Let’s take a look at what’s coming in Nights season two/issue #13.

One of our favorite parts of Nights is that it has a slew of diverse and queer characters. And just looking at these exclusive sneak peeks at Nights season two, we know that aspect of the series will continue to hold true in Nights #13. Honestly, these promo pictures make us itch to get reading. We are also obsessed with the many cool creature designs we see in these images.

Helping us shed some light on what we see in our exclusive promo images above areNightscreators, writer Wyatt Kennedy, and artist Luigi Formisano.

Kennedy shares of the upcoming season two of Nights:

The plan withNightshas always been to explore different storytelling styles, genres, and tone from season to season, and whereas Season One had a breezy, episodic structure, Season Two will be a hard serialized drama. The stakes are higher—we’re going darker, gorier, rougher, and most importantly, we’re leaving behind the setting of Season One, Santo Pedro. It’s not abandoning the heart and humor that’s integral to the series, but this is certainly the darkest chapter of the story thus far.

We’re going to dive into the consequences of Season One’s bloodbath and examine the new status quo for our returning cast. I’m excited to properly introduce new characters like the demon conquistador Eda, and Gray’s ex-fiancé, the Witch Erik. At the core though, this is still Vince’s story about the dysfunctional found family he’s been adopted into, and his romance with Gray. And through his lens, we’ll see how secrets can tear even the closest of bonds apart.

Listen, you had us at demon conquistador. But what could be juicer than an ex-fiancé on the scene and a witch at that? In our exclusive reveal of Nights issue #13, we have some closer looks at Erik, and we like what we see. We totally don’t mind higher stakes, either. And there’s little we like better than a continued story of a dysfunctional found family. Let’s just hope whatever secrets folks are keeping they come clean sooner rather than later. You can check out its cover above and the full synopsis of the upcoming issue/Season Two starter below.

Following the events of last season’s violent finale, we turn the clock back to the 1970s where rookie CHIMERA agent Tsukumari investigates the rise of dangerous magical oddities and artifacts from the blistering cold of Estonia to the boiling decadence of Las Vegas. This journey will lead him on a collision course with a vampire girl that will have ripple effects across decades. Before we move forward, we have to go back. A dark path lies ahead. Welcome to Season 2.

Meanwhile, artist Luigi Formisano offers us these insights about the next arc of Nights, “Everything’s changing in Season Two, and I’m not pulling any punches. Visually, expectNightsto push boundaries even further. I’m definitely taking a lot of my inspiration from horror directors like Cronenberg, Bava, Fulci, del Toro, and of course mangaka like Junji Ito and Yukinobu Tatsu. Season 2’s concept art and character design will reveal new facets of our lovely characters, uncovering their true natures in ways that might surprise, and even shock, readers. Let’s not fool ourselves, Wyatt and I are two weirdos. Nights is a weird book. As a result, I want to challenge the readers with a rougher style and a frenetic pacing they won’t find anywhere else. Buckle up, Season Two is about to be wild.”

Cronenberg, Bava, Fulci, del Toro, Junji Ito and Yukinobu Tatsu! That’s quite the list. And we like it! Nights season 2 (issue #13) will go on sale February 26. For those who can’t wait to know more about this exciting world, make sure to check out Nights Season One, available to read now.
