Brandon Seifert’s 4-issue Hellraiser miniseries, “The Road Below”, kicks off this October from BOOM! Studios. The miniseries falls directly inline with the events of Clive Barker’s current “Hellraiser” ongoing and it functions to offer insight into Kirsty’s psyche. The mini will explore Kirsty’s first days as Pinhead on her journey to New Orleans where she meets with a holder of the LeMarchand Device.

We’ve got an exclusive look at all variant covers for “Hellraiser: The Road Below” #4, drawn by Tim Bradstreet, and Nick Percival. Check ‘em out along with the solicit for the issue after the jump. READ MORE

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, the same applies to Valen the Outcast. The folks at Boom! deliver a non-stop, action-packed thrill ride in this 8th, and final installment of the Valen Brands’ undead journey to retrieve is soul. It’s not often that one empathizes with an undead monster but Valen is something special. While the conclusion is a bit dry, I wish there were more books like “Valen” on the market. READ MORE

Review: Valen The Outcast #2

Necromancers are pretty badass. I can safely say i’ve always had a soft spot for them, especially since my days of attempting to get one to level 80 in Diablo 2, and reading the Magic the Gathering novels that featured Volrath. Yes, I was that kind of kid. Recently, however, there haven’t been any necromancers that I’ve been obsessed with, but that quickly changed after reading the first two issues of Boom! Studio’s new series, Valen the Outcast. Read on for the skinny….

Necronomicon TPB Available Now

One of the comics that came out this week was Boom Comic’s Necronomicon in trade paperback form. I had a chance to pick this up at the store and I’ve liked what I have read so far. I tend to pick up most comics in trade form so I can get the whole story without being left on a cliffhanger month to month. The story is quite typical where a lowly college student must save the world from demons of the Necronomicon. One thing that did stick out in this series is the artwork from Andrew Ritchie who also does the Call of Cthulu comics for boom. The art is very reminiscent of 30′s or 40′s comic art. That art choice helps to keep the story off kilter and deranged when I read it. If this title seems like something up your alley, I suggest picking up the trade…More info after the break…

Relativity Media Readies Game of ‘Tag’

We received an anonymous tip that Relativity Media (who purchased all of Rogue Pictures’ property) is fast-tracking Carey Malloy’s adaptation of Boom! Studios’ comic book TAG. Our regular tipster tells us that the studio has hired Simon Crane to direct the film, which is set in motion when an average Joe strolls down the street after a fight with his girlfriend when a random stranger tags him, handing off an ancient pagan curse. He begins to literally die, seeing his body begin to decompose every day before his very eyes. Cursed, he must either surrender or find the next victim to tag. We also have been told that Hayden Christiansen is in talk to star, although that has yet to be confirmed.

In a quite a gutsy move, Boom Comics is releasing their new series Hexed #1 on myspace comics and in print on the same day, Wednesday January 7. You can read the FULL issue for FREE on myspace starting Wednesday. This might seem like a crazy business decision for Boom but there studies show sales go up 30 percent by doing this. I encourage more comic companies to do this to get more people interested in new series. I just wish myspace’s comic section wasn’t so horribly laid out…just awful. More information after the jump.
