This is why I urge everyone to use the contact forms here at Bloody-Disgusting to submit any news that they might happen to stumble upon. Today an e-mail was forwarded to me from Mr. Disgusting that had been sent to us from reader HORRORFREN!ZY who happened upon a teaser trailer for what he thought was a film coming from actor Matthew Ewald (“GALIDOR”, “STAR TREK PHASE II”). But when he further investigated the trailer it turned out that the teaser wasn’t for a film, but an upcoming original horror novel by the actor! Not only that, but this trailer is absolutely AMAZING! Read on for the trailer and all the info (thus far) on the project that looks to be a very promising entry into the genre.

Here Is The Official Synopsis…

“Matthew Ewald’s (actor: Galidor, Star Trek Phase II) chilling debut novel of horror from Black Bed Sheet Books, released May 2010. The only survivor of the grisly aftermath of an activist raid on an animal testing lab leaves him institutionalized. When his psychiatrist begins to unlock the secrets to the events of that fateful night, she finds it is up to the both of them to stop the unspeakable evil that was unleashed upon the world.

Also, Here is What Matthew Himself Has To Say About The Book…

“I have a deep passion and love for the horror genre and all of its branches. However, I feel that we are currently in an age where the horror genre has been regulated to remakes, loss of originality, and countless sequel after sequel, where nothing new is given to the fans. Well, I dream of telling a story that can not only remind people why it is they fell in love with the horror genre, but why they fell in love with stories and tales told in the first place. I dream of a story that dares us to dream. And, in turn, a story that makes us fear the darkness once more. To get back to the true darkness and psychological side of the monsters that lurk not only within horror, but within us.”

And Without Further Ado, Here Is The Teaser Trailer For “HUMAN NATURE”…

“HUMAN NATURE” By Matthew Ewald Drops May 25th From Black Bedsheet Press!

‘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.”
