The Nice House on the Lake - Free Comic Book Day 2026

Plot

Your Invitation to Horror's Most Acclaimed Series Starts Here!

From James Tynion IV, the visionary creator behind Something Is Killing the Children and The Department of Truth, and artist Álvaro Martínez Bueno, comes the Eisner Award-winning series that redefined modern horror.

Everyone who was invited to the house knows Walter — well, they know him a little. Childhood friends, recent acquaintances... Walter's always been a little off. But after the hardest year of their lives, who could resist his offer? A week in a stunning house in the woods, overlooking a serene lake. It's beautiful. It's private. It's perfect.

Sure, Walter has his quirks — his odd nicknames, his strange little games — but what's a few eccentricities compared to the vacation of a lifetime? A chance to reconnect, to escape, to breathe. Wouldn't that be... nice?
