From Avatar’s Website:
The annual comic retailer party celebrating Garth Ennis’ revolutionary horror series, Crossed, begins tomorrow! Rabid comic fans will be flooding comic stores looking for Ennis’ return to his signature title with Crossed Badlands #25. They will be staying in stores for the collectible buttons, tattoos, stickers, shirts, and party events scheduled to celebrate the series and one year of filling nightmares with the most heinous of visions. Crossed has become the go-to title for fans seeking no-holds-barred horror. The series never takes the easy way out of a dark situation and you can expect an abundance of pain and misery for the characters trying to survive a world gone mad. Crossed takes that step that most series fear to tread. If there is something completely taboo in today’s society, you can bet that when the shackles of civilization fall, that you will see it performed by the infected of the Crossed world. There are no boundaries for the evil the Crossed can inflict. All you can do once you start reading is hold on and hope that you can endure true grueling misery and horror survival. And for that, fans of the series will happily line up to read the tales that have defined this series. Enjoy C-Day and all the bloody Crossed stories at your local comic shop. In a world where there is no help. And there is no hope. You can only count on the gleeful misery of the Crossed.

‘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.
