Its debut title, Ennis’ Freddie The Fix is billed as a darkly humorous and horrific series that follows Freddie, a fixer who cleans up the messes left behind by the monstrous stars of Hollywood: werewolves, vampires, zombies, aliens, bogeymen, predators, and…things. The series will be illustrated by Mike Perkins (Ed Brubaker’s Captain America run, Stephen King’s The Stand and Swamp Thing). Freddie the Fix is set for release Dec. 11.

Starting with Freddie the Fix, Ninth Circle aims to deliver double-shot books each month, with each issue containing a stand-alone tale of terror. Upcoming comics include works by Marguerite Bennett, illustrated by Jill Thompson (Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, the Scary Godmother series, Wonder Woman), Joe Pruett, illustrated by Butch Guice (The Flash, Winter Soldier, Birds of Prey), and Glass, illustrated by Bernard Chang (X-Men, Deadpool, Superman), as well as additional titles from Ennis, Ram V and others.
