Just about everyone knows how tough it is to break into the comics industry. It doesn’t make it any easier when the book you’ve got on your hands is full of blood, sex, gore, and focuses on people killing in the name of Christ. Writer Betvin Geant and artist Keith Draws have been trying to get their gorgeous book, Antichrist, off the ground without any help from publishers. Posting the almost-completed first issue on comic message boards, the creative team has been trying to find an audience for their controversial title. Betvin Geant took the time to chat with BD about Antichrist, offering some in-depth details about the project.
#2 Rick And The Gang Are Moving On In ‘The Walking Dead’ #95
Michonne finally made her TV debut in the season finale of AMC’s The Walking Dead, but now we have to wait quite a while to see her and her glorious sword in action. Thankfully, we’ve got the comic to keep us from going hungry. While the new arc for The Walking Dead does recall certain elements we’ve seen from past story lines, in Kirkman we must trust.
#3 10 Comics To Feast On: March 28 2012
Over the past year, there seems to have been a trend among publishers to move toward a more horror-oriented style. With spring on the horizon, there are even more horror books coming out every week. This week sees the second installment of CROSSED: BADLANDS, the final issue of GHOST RIDER, the last of the new Vertigo titles, THE NEW DEADWARDIANS, and many more.
#4 Exclusive: Whispers #2 Preview
Joshua Luna continues to craft his solo project, Whispers, next week about dream walking, severe OCD, ex-lovers, and demons. Although Joshua Luna is best known for working with his other half as part of the Luna Brothers duo, we’ve got a feeling he’s going to break from that bond pretty soon. If you have not had the pleasure of reading a Luna Brothers’ book, you’re missing out. Though it’s only one issue deep, so far it’s shaping up to be an incredibly gripping series. Whispers is a dark, dramatic, supernatural thriller, that shouldn’t be passed up. Check out the preview, exclusive to BD, from Image Comics.

‘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.
