Tim Seeley Takes ‘Hack/Slash’ To The Church Of The ‘Murder Messiah’ This Fall!
Recently Comic Book Resources was able to sit down and talk to “HACK/SLASH” creator Tim Seeley who let them in on some secrets revolving around the upcoming “MURDER MESSIAH” one-shot from his new publisher Image Comics. The story will be released sometime this Fall (presumably around Halloween) and it promises to take readers on a journey they won’t soon forget. Inside you can get a look at the 2 covers released for the issue and sketch piece. Read on for the skinny!
Here Is How Comic Book Resources Describes The Issue…
“Hack/Slash” creator Tim Seeley provides readers with a brand new one-shot issue titled “Hack/Slash Annual 2010: Murder Messiah,” an anniversary special launching this fall with the goal of bridging the gap between the recently concluded Devil’s Due Publishing series and the ongoing title’s upcoming relaunch through Image Comics. Having already rereleased “Hack/Slash” material through Image in addition to the currently ongoing miniseries “My First Maniac,” the arrival of “Murder Messiah” marks yet another notch in the new chapter of Seeley’s continued “Hack/Slash” work – and he’s just getting started.”

‘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.
