It’s not hard to find re-appropriations of The Wizard Of Oz, but it is hard to find a good one that doesn’t involve singing. The first issue of Angelo Tirotto’s No Place Like Home was an in-your-face, piercing-filled, reality check, showing that he doesn’t intend to focus on sunshine and rainbows. Rather, the creative team is focusing on the horrific aspect of that eerie land known as Oz. Let’s face it, those flying monkeys have always been terrifying. The first issue was a promising start to the series, and Bloody-disgusting has the exclusive 6-page preview of issue #2. Read on for the skinny…

There is something that is always appealing about samurai and the point in Japan’s history that takes place immediately before guns took over. This is the setting for Dark Horse’s new comic titled, The Immortal, and it works perfectly. As with all good samurai stories lots of blood and guts are involved, as well as … heart eating demons? Ok, Heart eating demons may not be a staple in other samurai tales, but it works nicely for The Immortal.

David Lapham continues his vamp-tastic adaptation of Guillermo del Toro’s epic novel series in the new year. The debut issue of The Strain was a massive hit and left readers demanding more. The first issue gave us a glimpse into the eerie mythos of del Toro’s vampire world, offering incredible character development, and left things on the cusp of destruction for our hero. Hopefully, in the second issue we will see a bit more of that tall gangly dude and his creepy cane. Check the 6-page preview after the jump courtesy of Dark Horse. Read on for the skinny…

Monocyte is a densely gothic work of science fiction that will grab you by the throat and refuse to let you go until the last page. For a book that seems to intentionally disregard all major tropes in mainstream comics today, it is without a doubt a book that will find a large number of fans, and deservingly so. After issue #2 it is certain that IDW has another hit horror book on their hands, one that brings something completely novel to the table, one that works adamantly to re-imagine the horror genre. It’s bleak, dark, absurd, complex, poetic, and it remains steadfast in its use of elevated language and beautiful artwork. The creative team certainly has a wonderfully dark vision, and to let us into their minds is an absolute treasure that you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Read on for the skinny…
