[Comic Book Preview] “Predator: Fire and Stone” #1
Out of all the new titles that comprise Dark Horse’s new Fire and Stone series, Preadator has to be my most anticipated. It’s got horror superstar Joshua Williamson penning the scripts, and the incomprable Chris Mooneyham doing the art this is going to be the standout series of the bunch. Williamson has made it evident that he has a very deep love for the source material, and he’s looking to do incredible things with “Predator: Fire and Stone” #1.
Look at that art, look at the use of sound effects, and how dynamic the action feels on the page. This is an improvement over the source material, and who thought that was even possible? This is the Predator story we’ve all been waiting for. Forget Danny Glover, Ahab is one ugly son of a bitch.
PREDATOR: FIRE AND STONE #1 | Joshua Williamson | Chris Mooneyham
A universe of terror drawn to one world.
As the Perses begins her long journey home, a deadly stowaway forces the crew into a savage conflict! While the crew defend themselves against this unseen predator, the hunter itself stalks a much more substantial game!
• Dark Horse’s Prometheus event sharpens its claws!
* Joshua Williamson (Ghosted, Nailbiter) is Multiversity’s breakout writer of 2013!
* Variant cover by Alex Maleev (Batman, Avengers)!
“Mooneyham has a striking approach, combining a Neal Adams-style dynamic with a Klaus Janson kind of roughness.”—Comic Book Resources
PREDATOR: FIRE AND STONE #1 is on sale October 22nd.
Retailers: FOC is Monday September 29th.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
