Octogenarian Celebrities Babysit Kaiju in Dark Horse's Hidden Springs #2

Dark Horse Comics is dropping a bombshell this week: octogenarian ex-celebrities are babysitting a kaiju. Yes, you read that right. Hidden Springs #2 continues its wild ride, following a group of Hollywood has-beens as they shield an adorable baby kaiju from relentless military pursuit.
This four-issue series, from writer Rob Williams (Petrol Head, Judge Dredd), masterfully blends giant monster action with surprisingly human drama. Expect "grandparent follies" to collide with world-ending stakes. Preview pages tease explosive confrontations and the kaiju’s electromagnetic powers causing chaos for military submarines. It's a chase, but it's also a story about what people will sacrifice.
Artists Nil Vendrell, Berta Sas Forrelland, and Simon Bowland bring this high-concept world to vivid life. Nil Vendrell Pallach's cover art perfectly captures the series' unique charm. Rated T+, Hidden Springs #2 offers a fresh, emotionally charged take on the kaiju genre. Get ready for action with a surprising heart.
