Charlie Adlard, Ryan Ottley, Brandon Seifert, and Joshua Williamson sat on the Skybound Comics panel. The biggest news to come from the panel was the announcement of Joshua Williamson’s new series called, “Ghosted”, which is described as “Oceans 11, but in a haunted house”. It’s a crime ghost-hunting story, and it sounds awesome, you can get some extra details below. The panel also offered minimal details on upcoming issues of “The Walking Dead”.
Previewed was the cover for “The Walking Dead” #108, first appearance of Ezekiel, who is going to be a major character in the series. We’ll also be going back to visit Maggie in issue #109. And then we issue #110 goes into what was described as “Lucile is going to be jealous”. Also launched this month is thewalkingdead.com, loaded with details on the show and the comic book.
A new project is being launched by Josh Williamson, titled, “Ghosted”. It is Oceans 11 in a haunted house instead of a casino. It follows one of the greatest heist planners in the world who is broken out of prison by a very strange occult collector. He is hired to steal a ghost from a haunted house. In order to do so, Hhe goes out and gathers the best ghost hunters around and brings them into this mansion with a brutal, cursed history. The first issue drops in July, just in time for San Diego. You can bet your bones we’ll be following “Ghosted”.
“Witch Doctor” is continuing on strong with “Mal Practice”, the final two issues due out over the next couple of months. The collected edition will be released in June.

‘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.
