I’m not even going to lie, I am a bit heartbroken to see Brandon Seifert’s “WITCH DOCTOR” go, even if it is only for a a little over a month. Fortunately for us though publisher Skybound Comics did pick the series up for further adventures, and if you make the jump you can check out the final preview for the monthlies’ first story arc.

It seems that many major publishers are trying to dip their creative pens in the murky ink of horror comics. Competition is fierce, to say the least, and writers must constantly come up with new ideas to prove themselves within the tightly knit community. For some reason, Image has always stood out as one of the best horror comic publishers. They know what fans want, not just blood and guts but a brain and a heart too. Image’s Skybound imprint, founded by Robert Kirkman, (The Walking Dead), horror comic icon, brings us “Witch Doctor”, a mini-series showcasing a grotesque and disturbing world where diseases are synonymous with monsters. If you’ve missed the first two issues, have no fear; the mini-series is set in stand-alone episodes, meaning you can still pick up this creepy book (good thing for you since the first issue sold out!). Witch Doctor is an insane comics that would have devout Christians spewing up the Eucharist, and amen for that. Read on for the skinny…
EDIT: “Witch Doctor” issue #3 actually hits stores September 14th, but screw it, it’s still my pick of the week!
Did you buy the debut issue of Skybound’s “WITCH DOCTOR” on June 29th? What’s that? You “Forgot/Ran Out Of Money/WastedMyTimeOnUltimateSpiderman”? Wow…And here I thought we were all on the same page here? Oh, and here’s the bad news; the first ish was a runaway sellout for Brandon Seifert and Lukas Ketner. The good news for you? Inside you can get a special 7 page look at issue #2. Read on for the skinny…
It’s 6 AM and for all practical purposes I should be asleep. Instead, I have decided to throw you all a bone and give you my staff pick of the week. It’s Wednesday, and as usual I am excited about quite a few comics; including new issues of comics I have talked about in my older staff picks such as Joe Casey’s “BUTCHER BAKER, THE RIGHTEOUS MAKER” as well as Scott Snyder’s “AMERICAN VAMPIRE, SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST”. However, this week I have chosen Issue #1 of “WITCH DOCTOR” published by Image.
Quite easily the most exciting release in horror this month is the debut issue of scribe Brandon Seifert and artist Lukas Ketner’s “WITCH DOCTOR” from Robert Kirkman imprint, Skybound. The series is set to break records, and beyond the break you can feast your eyes upon a 9 page preview of the series’ first ish and get all the details. Read on for the skinny…
Ever since it was announced all the way back at the beginning of the year that Robert Kirkman’s (“THE WALKING DEAD”) Skybound would be releasing Brandon Seifert’s “WITCH DOCTOR” as its flagship title, details on the project have been very mum. That hasn’t stopped it from being one of our most hotly anticipated new series of 2011, and thanks to Skybound & Image Comics fans will be able to make their first foray into the world of Vincent Morrow on May 25th with “WITCH DOCTOR” issue #0, which will debut in the 85th issue of “THE WALKING DEAD”. Inside you can get all the details on the book from the official press release, including the cover art, and in addition to all that, you can read a 10 page preview of the first issue of “WITCH DOCTOR” below.
