What's the plot of the graphic novel?


I haven't heard of this one before. But all I know is that it might to be a trilgoy (The Lurkers, In the Blood and The Dark Country.).

Can anyone help me out?

I don't believe it is part of a trilogy. "The Lurkers" is going to be dealing with a zombie storyline, and "In the Blood" is about a sixteen year old werewolf. I haven't been able to find any synopsis on "Dark Country" at all, but not from a lack of trying! LOL

I saw the teaser poster for The Lurkers. It looks fairly Sin Cityish.

Here's what info I've got so far.

In early July, Lions Gate Films announced the company had signed a deal to acquire feature rights to various graphic novel titles by Steve Niles. The films would serve as starring vehicles for actor Thomas Jane, who previously starred in Lions Gate's The Punisher.

One of those titles is The Lurkers, and the studio has already released this teaser poster for the film. In the graphic novel, Los Angeles detective Jack Dietz is having one of the worst days of his life. One body is bad enough, but when another turns up with human bite marks, he knows his world has just turned inside out...

Other titles in development include In the Blood and The Dark Country.


So I guess Jane is playing Jack Dietz in all of them.

See messsages posted on the thread of "Title". It explains a little bit more, straight from Tom's own mouth to our ears via a broadcast of him on Fanboy radio.

Ah, thank you very much.

I would guess that this is based on the chilling short story by Dennis Etchison, "The Dark Country" (from his collection also titled The Dark Country), which was also set in the southwest, and also partly across the Mexico border, if memory serves.
