[Fan Expo Canada] DC Before Watchmen Panel Announces A New Title
At Saturday’s edition of DC’s All-access Panel the publisher took a Before Watchmen theme bringing in Dan Didio, Brian Azzarello, John Cunningham, Darwyn Cooke, and Amanda Conner. The biggest news was the announcement of the brand new “Before Watchmen” book, “Moloch”, which is to be written by Joe Michael Straczynski with artwork by Eduardo Risso. More follows.
“Before Watchmen: Moloch” is a two-issue series that will debut in November. This is first word of the project and very little artwork has been released yet, but given that it’s Risso, it’ll be damn nice work. This also gives rise to the possibility that DC is not yet done with “Watchmen”.
Brian Azzarello chose to plead the fifth during most of the panel, not revealing any details on “Rorschach” or on “Wonder Woman”. His only real speech was when asked about writing “Before Watchmen” where he said that it’s not much different than approaching working on “Batman” as so many influencial people have worked on it before, and “Watchmen” is no different.
As tribute to Joe Kubert’s sudden death, his friend Bill Sienkiewicz will take over inking “Before Watchmen: Nite Owl”.
Darwyn Cooke mentioned something about taking acid and expressed his love for working alongside Amanda Conner.

‘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.
