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

Given the recent success of comic book summer blockbusters, and the current trend in Hollywood to reboot, remake, or adapt old material, it’s inevitable that we’ll be seeing more of our beloved comic books on the big screen. Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” series has been in development several times over the years, a “Crawl to Me” film will be upon us soon, and, as per usual, FOX blew it by passing on the “Locke & Key” series. It’s clear that horror comics lend themselves to on-screen adaptations. The question is, which books do you actually want to see on the big screen? READ MORE

Let’s be honest, True Blood has gone down hill. It’s the TV equivalent of Camus’ Sisyphus, trying so hard to get to the top again, only to fall hopelessly down the other side.

This week brings on the first ish of the new ongoing series, where you’ll be greeted by some familiar faces.

Dynamite Entertainment has kept somewhat tight lipped about the upcoming re-launch of the classic Chaos Comics characters, including the upcoming Evil Ernie series. Jesse Blaze Snider (Muppets, Toy Story) has been confirmed to be writing the EVIL ERNIE reboot for quite some time, but announcements have been made with regards to an artist.

Bloody-Disgusting did some creeping around and found a tweet from artist Jason Craig (ReAnimator, Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash) that reads, “Starting my morning before 6am on a Saturday to kick some ass on the new EVIL ERNIE relaunch with a kick ass script from @tweetjesse”.

Today, March 15th, is the 75th anniversary of the death of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, one of the true fathers of horror fiction. It’s no secret that Lovecraft’s eerie tales have influenced horror writers across the board for decades, and we constantly see his themes cropping all over the comics world.

Lovecraft’s is responsible for many invaluable aspects of contemporary horror from the Cthulhu mythos to the Necronomicon to the genre of cosmic horror itself. It’s safe to say that without him, horror would not be what it is today. The sheer volume of comics out there that still address themes introduced by Lovecraft allow him to live on after death. In honor of his death day, we’ve put together a list of some of the best Lovecraftian comics around. Read on for the skinny…

What’s the most exciting event in comics this summer? The return of Valiant Comics. In the ’90s when most companies were more concerned with gimmicks and trends, Valiant consistently put out books with strong writing and artwork month in and month out. The company is finally set to return this summer and our inner fanboy couldn’t be happier.
