“The Humans” return in this issue of The Motherfucking Humans (how they must be referred to from now on) and he is ready to tear some shit up.

WRITTEN BY: Keenan Keller
ART BY: Tom Neely
PUBLISHER: Image Comics
PRICE: $3.99
RELEASE: December 3, 2014

The Motherfucking Humans have lost a brother but they will not mourn for long. Johnny is back in town from ‘Nam, and he’s not looking for praise or a parade. He wants to put his cut back on and call himself a Human once again. This issue shows the consequences of war on someone and the matters that still resonate with veterans from current conflicts.

Every panel is a beast on it’s own. Tom Neely let’s the audience dive into this book by delivering amazing shots and great views on the characters. It’s a delight to see the close ups of Johnny and know how fucked up his mind is. With those awesome double splash pages that work better than any montage could.

One of the amazing things about this book is not the story itself, but the weight it carries. Keller and Neely have successfully presented a world that’s well complimented by the philosophy of the characters. I’m not asking questions about the logic of the world, I’m wondering what the fuck are the Humans doing now and what’s the next mayhem they’re gonna get into, I’m enamored by the thought of being a Human, to “Ride or Die.” And if you’re wondering about actual existence of us “skins,” you’ll be able to know in this issue.

If you haven’t, make sure you read all the way into the last page, download the monster of a soundtrack that continues to grow with every issue, unfortunately patches are sold out (for now) but let’s make sure they sell the fuck out once they come on sale again. We’re all Motherfucking Humans.

I have to ask, Humans vs Sons of Anarchy, who wins? You know where my vote is.

‘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.
