Set in a world where a gaming console known as the Dreamwave allows you to explore a video game's ominous open world while you sleep, writer Zac Thompson and artist Daniel Irizarri's four-issue comic book series Cemetery Kids Don't Die follows a quartet of friends who encounter an entity known as "The King of Sleep" in their favorite video game "Nightmare Cemetery," and that's when the horrors of the online world become all too real, leading to the friends' most epic—and deadly—quest yet.

One of the most imaginative and timely comic book releases of 2024, all four issues of Cemetery Kids Don't Die are now available in a trade paperback from Oni Press just in time for the holidays, and as a special treat for Daily Dead readers, we have the entire first issue that you can read now!

Nava Mau earned an Emmy nomination (in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category) for her breakthrough performance as the lead character’s love interest Teri in the hit Netflix series Baby Reindeer, and was named as a 2024 BAFTA Breakthrough cohort. We’ve previously heard that she will be following up her Baby Reindeer success with a role on the final season of the Netflix series You, and now Deadline has broken the news that she’s set to star in the comedic thriller The Dregs – which has something to do with a cursed wine bottle.

Before appearing on Baby Reindeer, Mau played the role of Ana on 16 episodes of the Max streaming series Generation. (16 episodes also happens to have been the show’s full run.)

Set in Tuscany, The Dregs will mark the directorial debut of writer Connor Martin. Filming is expected to begin in Italy next March.
