Out This Week: How To Be A Serial Killer
How To Be A Serial Killer, a self help guru’s tale of murder and success drops this week. It’s a tongue-in-cheek tale reminiscent of American Psycho, Falling Down, or Dexter, where you root for the bad guy…
Mike has a life where he feels something empty, off kilter to the rest of the world. One day, fed up with life, he starts killing people that do him wrong or are just terrible people. Now he sleeps like a baby, feels great and is glad to be alive. Now he wants to share his story and teach you how to be a serial killer.
This comic written by Luke Ricci and artwork by Ramon Espinoza is a fun one-shot that I wish there was more of. This comic was based off a upcoming movie of the same name, so if you like this check out the movie as well.
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.”
