Jonathan Ross’ ‘Turf’ Finally Comes To An End This Wednesday!
It seems as if it has been an eternity since Jonathon Ross’ “TURF” made its debut earlier last year from Image Comics. The five issue mini-series has been plagued with scheduling issues, and at one point there was even uncertainty that the series would wrap up before the end of the year. Luckily that is not the case, and beyond the break you can check out the 5 page preview of the final installment of the series which hits stores tomorrow. Read on for the skinny…

“‘THE BLOODFATHER’
This is it: the final battle. The ranks of the Vampire Family have swollen and Manhattan is nearly theirs. The cops have been transformed into a willing army of bloodthirsty foot soldiers. In the garden, the trees hang heavy with living victims, unwilling sacrifices, waiting to shed their lifeblood onto the ancient and evil roots that feed The Old One – The First Vampire – The Bloodfather. Former gang boss Eddie Falco – no longer the man he once was – in fact, no longer a man at all – must lead his rag-tag army of reluctant heroes up against the might of their supernatural enemies. But can when the chips are down, will his uneasy alliance between Samual Kane and his Uptown Racketeers, the half-human/half-vampire Dragonmir brothers and Squeed, the alien with a powerful secret locked onboard his ship hold fast?”

‘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.
