Titan Comics has announced Dead by Daylight: The Hillbilly #4 as part of its July 2026 shipping solicitations, bringing the terrifying four-issue miniseries based on Behaviour Interactive’s iconic asymmetrical horror game to its conclusion.

Written by Derek Fridolfs with art by Dean Kotz and colors by Allison Hu, the series dives deep into the backstory of Max Thompson Jr., one of Dead by Daylight‘s most visually striking killers — the Hillbilly — charting the brutal events that shaped one of the Entity’s most relentless hunters. The concluding issue promises to deliver on the escalating dread and grotesque mythology the series has built across its run, with cover art by Alex Horley.

Dead by Daylight has become a touchstone of modern horror gaming since its 2016 launch, celebrated for its rotating roster of both original killers and licensed horror icons — including Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Ghostface, Pinhead, and Xenomorph. The comics line has extended that world into print, giving longtime players and horror comics readers alike a deeper look at the characters and mythology behind the fog.
