Launch Trailer For The Walking Dead ‘A New Day’
Fans of The Walking Dead are sure in for a treat. Today, Telltale Games released a brand spankin’ new trailer showcasing the first episode of the video games series, titled ‘A New Day’. The video game will be released in five chapters throughout the summer (keeping you at bay until the new season starts), the first of which landed today on PlayStation®Network, PC and Mac (soon to be on Xbox 360). Players will control Lee Everett, a convicted murderer, who has just been freed into a world filled with crawlers. And don’t worry, it’s got a rating of “M” so you know it’s going to be bloody. Check the trailer below and more details about the series.
The series is to focus on the darker side of “The Walking Dead” universe and allow players to explore the world to get a better feel for what the zombie-apocalypse world looks like for Rick and the gang. There will be appearances from your favorite characters throughout the series, and it tie into Kirkman’s comic book series. The first episode will sell for 400 Microsoft® Points on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, $4.99 on PlayStation Network and on PC and Mac (yes, finally a game for Mac!) as a season pass covering all five episodes for $24.99 from the Telltale Online Store and through Valve’s Steam service. It’s all pretty cheap, so it’s worth a look.

‘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.
