Since the first issue, “Monocyte” has been a grim portrayal of the future of humanity, yet it is equally beautiful at the same time. Co-creators Menton3 and Kasra Ghanbari have developed an insane, vast, sprawling epic, and the four-issue mini-series, only offers a small glimpse into their dark world. The series follows the story of two feuding immortal races thousands of years in the future, and the slumbering necromancer, Monocyte, who has been awakened to introduce death to the world once again. With poetic dialogue and some of the best artwork in horror right now, “Monocyte” is like nothing else out there today.

The creative team took the time to sit down with BD and chat about their series from IDW Publishing. With the fourth installment set for release at the end of the month, the book has almost reached its conclusion. Kasra and Menton3 offer in-depth insight into the future of the series, the creative process as a whole, the fear of immortality, plus an exclusive announ Check out the interview after the break.

A few of our staff members here at BD Graphic Content were the kind of kids who grew up playing Magic The Gathering, reading and re-reading The Lord Of The Rings, and, of course, dabbling in a little bit of D&D (yeah, we’re cool, deal with it). Today, IDW announced that Ed Greenwood will be writing the brand new ongoing Dungeons & Dragons: Forgotten Realms comic series. If you are anything like us, and you know your fantasy literature, this is incredibly epic. Joining Greenwood are Lee Ferguson and Sal Buscema. As part of the series launch, D&D is also running a contest that gives you the chance to put your own character in the series! Check the full scoop after the jump.

Whether you’ve been into comics since you were a young’un, or you’re new to the game, I’m here to help you decide which books to read. If we’ve left out anything important, let us know what you’re stoked for in the comments. Read on for the skinny…

Ahh, San Diego ComiCon. You have to love it. Here we are just wee hours before the pearly gates to nerd Heaven open up and already several of the industries’ top publishers are handing out announcements like suspicious Ice Cream Truck candy. While the following previews of “DEAD RISING: ROAD TO FORTUNE”, “DARK SHADOWS”, “UNEXPECTED”, and “FANBOYS VS. ZOMBIES might not be as questionable as that analogy, we can tell you that this is just the TIP of the iceberg as publishers are just getting warmed up for this weekend’s festivities.
