Time Is Running Out For Angelique Before She Becomes A Human Happy Meal In This 5 Page ‘Fade To Black’ Preview!
Back when it was first announced that publisher Image Comics would be making a foray into the sub-genre of cannibalism I was pretty excited. Then I found out that it was a “movie set massacre” story, and I got less excited. But to be fair the series hasn’t been all that bad, albeit a mixed bag. However, that hasn’t hampered it from garnering a steady fan base, and inside you can read the first 5 pages of the third issue that drops tomorrow. Read on for the skinny.
WRITTEN BY: Jeff Mariotte
ILLUSTRATIONS AND COVERS BY: Daniele Serra
“With Angelique a captive of the cannibal cult, the remaining friends find that they can’t run any longer — they have to take the fight to the cultists! Outnumbered and outgunned, it’s going to be a hard-fought battle. But they don’t have much choice, considering their alternatives — becoming human sacrifices, or being added to the menu!”

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
