There are so many great indy comics going on right now that it is hard to keep up. Sadly the fact of the matter is that most of these stories would die before they even took their first breaths because of the sheer numbers that they must overcome in order to get noticed by the general public. One such title is ‘REPO THE GENETIC OPERA’ co-writer Terrance Zdunich’s gothic look at the life of everyday Americans called “THE MOLTING”. Zdunich is a truly gifted artist and it shows in every panel of his creative brainchild that is available only through his website. The fledgling series is ready to release its 3rd issue and Bloody-Disgusting has a first look courtesy of Terrrance and the gang. Read on for the preview of one of the titles that horror fans should not miss out on! The Molting is the portrait of an American family in the early 90s set against a decaying urban backdrop in Anaheim CA, the so called ‘Happiest Place on Earth’, the story traverses human history-from upper Paleolithic hunting parties to Southern Gothic grotesqueries-to explore the families roots, secrets, and unconventional family bonds.”

“Fertile females of the American cockroach lay their eggs in a hardened case called an ootheca. The females within the American household of the Pryzkind family also seek to seduce and reproduce, but they keep their intentions better concealed. intentions that are hidden away like the secrets in Guilty Susie’s lonely attic.”


“The Molting is a truly independent effort, which is available only through my online store. All proceeds go towards keeping the project alive, so your support is deeply appreciated.”

‘Witchblade’ is Getting Resurrected This Summer in New Comic Series from Top Cow and Image Comics

Witchblade, the popular comic series that initially ran from 1995 to 2015 and launched a TV series, is getting resurrected in a new comic series from Top Cow and Image Comics. It’s set to unleash heavy metal, black magic and blood this summer.

Look for the new Witchblade series to launch on July 17, 2024.

In Witchblade #1, “New York City Police Detective Sara Pezzini’s life was forever fractured by her father’s murder. Cold, cunning, and hellbent on revenge, Sara now stalks a vicious criminal cabal beneath the city, where an ancient power collides and transforms her into something wild, magnificent, and beyond her darkest imaginings. How will Sara use this ancient power, or will she be consumed by it?”

The series is penned by NYT Best-Selling writer Marguerite Bennett (Animosity, Batwoman, DC Bombshells) and visualized by artist Giuseppe Cafaro (Suicide Squad, Power Rangers, Red Sonja). The creative duo is working with original co-creator Marc Silvestri, who is the CEO of Top Cow Productions Inc. and one of the founders of Image Comics. They are set to reintroduce the series to Witchblade’s enduring fans with “a reimagined origin with contemporary takes on familiar characters and new story arcs that will hook new readers and rekindle the energy and excitement that fueled the 90’s Image Revolution that shaped generations of top creators.”

Bennett said in a statement, “The ability to tell a ferocious story full of monsters, sexuality, vision, and history was irresistible.” She adds, “Our saga is sleek, vicious, ferocious, and has a lot to say about power in the 21st century and will be the first time that we are stopping the roller coaster to let more people on. I’ve loved Witchblade since I was a child, and there is truly no other heroine like Sara with such an iconic legacy and such a rich, brutal relationship to her own body.”

“The Witchblade universe is being modernized to reflect how Marguerite beautifully explores the extreme sides of Sara through memories, her personal thoughts, like desire and hunger, in her solitude and when she is possessed by the Witchblade. So, I had to visually intersect a noir True Detective-like world with a supernatural, horror world that is a fantastic mix between Berserk and Zodiac,” Cafaro stated.

Marc Silvestri notes, “This is brand new mythology around Sara, and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with her and all the twists and turns. Discover Witchblade reimagined this summer, and join us as we bring all the fun of the 90s to the modern age and see how exciting comics can be. I can’t wait for you to read this new series.”
