Wulf and Batsy – Why Aren’t You Reading This
Bryan Baugh’s Wulf and Batsy feels like a comic from a time capsule, or better yet it’s like finding you’re dad’s stash of girlie mags and horror books from when he was younger. This is the best new old fashioned horror comic I have read this year!
Wulf and Batsy is the story of a vampiress and a wolf-man searching for a place to live. Sounds simple, but when the villagers get wise to there stay, that’s when the fun really starts, check my review after the break… 
The story and artwork are giant throwbacks to an older time like Mad magazine, Tales from the Crypt, and Topps cards of the 50’s and 60’s. The artwork is in black and white but the lines and ink are very solid. Every panel is well thought out. Bryan Bough is one of those writers/artists that are revitalizing horror comics and I welcome it completely. These type of comics hit me in a certain way that makes me feel like a kid again; voraciously reading each issue quickly almost wanting to look over my shoulder to make sure no one is seeing me read a funny comic with horror and babes. This series should not be missed and I’m excited to read what Baugh has next.

IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
