Just the title alone is a pretty good reason to get hooked with Sex #1. As subtlety is thrown out the window, a lot of effort has been made to keep the storytelling on point. This is an interesting psychological drama about an emotionally-flawed man searching for a missing connection in the gritty cityscape. READ MORE
Wickedly uncompromising and brutally candid, The Milkman Murders is a hard-hitting tale about the dark side of modern suburban life. The shock value alone on the first few pages is a real eye-opener to the world of real life terror. Now available as a hardcover edition, this new publication of the infamous 2005 horror miniseries proves it stands the test of time. READ MORE
I’m ashamed to admit that I have not yet read Joe Casey’s master contemporary horror work, The Milkman Murders. The book is being reprinted in a nice hardcover edition from Image Comics for only $14.99, and it hits shops on September 12th. “The Milkman Murders” is a book that Ed Brubaker calls, “A truly disturbing and original piece of horror… not for the faint of heart or those looking for spoon-fed niceties, The Milkman Murders is comics as you’ve rarely seen them before.” With art from Steve Parkhouse, this is a must read.

When it was announced that co-creator/writer Robert Kirkman and artist Greg Capullo, would be leaving “HAUNT”, there was a lot of speculation as to who would come on board to fill their creative shoes. “HAUNT” is one of Image Comics best selling monthly titles and part of the series’ appeal had been the creative powerhouse of two of comic’s biggest names.
For co-creator Todd McFarlane, who publishes “HAUNT” under his Image imprint, it would have been an easy to replace Kirkman and Capullo with a carbon copy creative team and have the book continue to coast in the current direction. Not afraid to rock the boat and shake things up, McFarlane tapped writer Joe Casey (Godland, Butcher Baker the Righteous Maker) and artist Nathan Fox (Dark Reign: Zodiac, DMZ, Blue Estate) to give “HAUNT” a complete creative facelift starting with issue #19.
Bloody-Disgusting.com caught up with writer Joe Casey to discuss the new creative direction of Haunt and how he plans to give the character more of a horror vibe by mixing together buckets of bloody violence and artwork that can “scare the shit outta people”.
Image Comics has also given Bloody-Disgusting readers an exclusive 6-page preview of Haunt #19 after the jump.
Sure, Kirkman may be gone from HAUNT but now, with Joe Casey driving behind the wheel, the ride is about to get a little more insane. The dynamic creative team of Casey (Butcher Baker, the Righteous Maker) and Nathan Fox (Blue Estate) take over the book beginning with issue #19, and from the looks of this gorgeous 6 page preview, Haunt is in good hands. Read on for the skinny…
One of the huge draws behind Image’s “HAUNT” has forever been the dreamteam of Robert |Kirkman (“THE WALKING DEAD”) and Todd McFarlane (“SPAWN”) on the project. However, now the true mettle of the series will be tested, because today the publisher announced that the series would be gaining and all NEW team in Joe Casey “BUTCHER BAKER, THE RIGHTEOUS MAKER”) and Nathan Fox (“FLUORESCENT BLACK”)! The two will take up the reigns beginning with issue #19 in September, and if you have any doubts that the tandem will do anything but deliver the goods, you can scroll down and check out the amazing cover art for the ish.
Last week I was tempted to post a crudely drawn hand turkey for my pick of the week. However, THEoDEAD advised against it. Now most of the time that doesn’t really affect what I do, but I listened to my editor for a change. Why a hand turkey? I have no idea, but the thought amused me. Which is probably why I do most of the things I do, despite knowing it goes against my better judgment. However, this week I picked an actual comic book, “BUTCHER BAKER, THE RIGHTEOUS MAKER” Issue #3. Now, if you are willing to take the plunge down the rabbit hole, I will explain myself.
WARNING: I Have A Potty Mouth. Deal With It.
Mike Huddleston (“GEN13″, “THE COFFIN”), the artist behind “BUTCHER BAKER, THE RIGHTEOUS MAKER” talks about the world he has teamed up with writer Joe Casey (“UNCANNY X-MEN”, “ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN”) to create. Published by Image Comics, “BUTCHER BAKER, THE RIGHTEOUS MAKER” gives us a NEW superhero that stands out in a genre full of the ridiculously old and played out crime-fighters that should have hung up their capes long ago. You may be reading this wondering “Doesn’t Johnny_Trouble know that this is a horror website and this isn’t a horror comic?” I can assure you I know that, and this interview has nothing to do with horror, this has everything to do with awesome. Read on boys and girls, and see what I mean.
