Iron Age’s January 2027 solicitations put a spotlight on a new offshoot of its flagship horror drama and a long-awaited trade reprint, signaling fresh moves for the publisher as it heads into the new year. For fans and collectors, these releases tighten continuity around the Abattoir Six universe and set the stage for the return of a Lovecraft-tinged miniseries.
What’s arriving in January
The slate is led by a one-shot that expands a major character’s backstory, a penultimate issue of a violent mini-series, and an all-new printing of a horror trade paperback timed ahead of a sequel volume. All three books are scheduled for street date on January 27, 2027.
| Title | Creators | Format | Price | Street Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abattoir Six: Bronx (One-shot) | Writer: Mina Elwell — Artist: Jed Mejia — Cover: Ifesinachi Orijekwe | Single issue | $4.99 | 1/27/2027 |
| Dead Head #9 (of 12) | Writer: A.C. Medina — Art/Cover: Gabriel Fonseca | Single issue | $4.99 | 1/27/2027 |
| Infernoct TP Vol. 01 (MR) | Writer: Mina Elwell — Art/Cover: Eli Powell | Trade paperback | $19.99 | 1/27/2027 |
Key titles explained
Abattoir Six: Bronx takes a character from the ongoing horror serial and gives her a standalone chapter that delves into life inside the series’ vampiric prison. The story centers on a mother who raises her child in defiance of the Abattoir’s monstrous order — a narrative thread that connects directly back to the main series and could influence how future installments unfold.
Dead Head #9 shifts attention to the brutal supporting players built up across the run so far. Expect the issue to showcase the violent tactics and dynamics of characters such as Final Girl Inc., Clerk, and the Classics as the series builds toward its climax.
The Infernoct trade collects Mina Elwell and Eli Powell’s earlier miniseries and is being reissued under a new publisher. The book leans into Lovecraftian horror: when Sam takes a job caring for an elderly monster hunter, she rapidly learns that the role requires more than tending to daily needs — she may have to inherit his dangerous work to prevent a townwide catastrophe. This reprint arrives as creators prepare Volume 2 for release in early 2027.
- Continuity impact: Bronx is billed as directly tied to the ongoing Abattoir Six narrative, making it relevant for readers following the main series.
- Format mix: The month includes both single issues and a trade paperback, offering options for collectors and new readers.
- Timing: The Infernoct reprint and the Bronx one-shot both arrive ahead of incoming projects from the same creators, suggesting coordinated rollout plans.
For readers tracking modern horror in comics, January’s Iron Age solicitations matter because they expand an established shared world while also making earlier material more accessible through a trade paperback. Those following creative teams like Mina Elwell and Eli Powell should find these releases useful for catching up before new installments arrive.
Retailers and collectors will likely watch variant cover availability and print runs once solicit details are finalized; for casual readers, the trade paperback offers the simplest entry point into the publisher’s recent horror slate.
