Participating shops to offer sampler on October 25 for Halloween ComicFest

Viz Media announced on Thursday that it will offer a sneak preview of the Resident Evil: Marhawa Desire (Biohazard: Marhawa Desire) manga by Naoki Serizawa (Saru Lock, Samurai Man) as part of this year's Halloween ComicFest.

Comic shops celebrate Halloween ComicFest each year by offering fans and visitors a free comic sampler filled with previews of upcoming comic and manga titles on the Saturday before Halloween. The Halloween ComicFest website lists participating retailers and comic shops.

Resident Evil: Marhawa Desire is a five-volume prequel to CAPCOM's Resident Evil 6 video game. Viz describes the story:

The highly virulent C-virus became a global disaster, but where did the outbreak start? In the series' opening volume, at the prestigious and elite Marhawa Academy in Singapore, a female student suffers a horrifying transformation. Called in to investigate, Professor Doug Wright and his nephew Ricky find themselves caught up in a deadly and growing tragedy. As things get rapidly out of hand, Chris Redfield and his team from the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance arrive on the scene, while behind it all a mysterious figure looms.
Viz will release the first volume on November 16.
