2000 AD Destroys Humanity In ‘The Ten-Seconders’
2000 AD has a gritty new North America release on the way, written by Rob Williams, with art from Mark Harrison and Ben Oliver. The Ten Seconders: The American Dream takes place in the not too distant future when a group of super powered gods have almost completely eradicated the human race. Those left alive attempt to battle against the seemingly unstoppable force, given the name “Ten-Seconders”, based on the life expectancy of those brave enough to enter battle with them. More details and a teaser follow.
Official press release:
They came to Earth as gods. But humanity quickly discovered that the gods can be cruel as well as kind and the survivors must find the answer to the vital question: what does it take to kill a god?
One of the rising stars of American comics, Rob Williams, returns to the dark and gritty themes of his breakout hit, Cla$$war, as he once again acerbically skewers the superhero myth with help from artists Mark Harrison (Durham Red) and Ben Oliver (Nightwing).
In the near future, mankind has all but been destroyed by a race of super-powered beings who initially offered to help, but actually intended only to rule. Those who hide in the ruins of the world and fight back against the tyranny of these ‘gods’ are nicknamed the ‘Ten-Seconders’ – so called because that is the average life expectancy given to those brave enough to battle the overwhelmingly-powerful opposition.
The latest graphic novel release from 2000 AD for the North American market, The Ten-Seconders also features artwork by Dom Reardon (Ichabod Azrael) and Shaun Thomas (Middenface McNulty), and is an action-packed tale of super-powered mayhem!

‘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.
