[5 Skull Review] “Intersect” #6 Proves We Are Not Alone
“Intersect” #6 begins with the most recognizable image and coherent thought in the entire series as an incredible amount of blood runs out from under a destroyed car. Two men are trapped together deep inside the car, fusing to it. “I’ll be with you until it’s over” one of them says as he, the car, and the other man become one. Welcome back to “Intersect”

I feel so close to cracking the code of “Intersect” that I worry everyone else has figured it out already and I’m the only one still confused. Our protagonist provide a narrative about one shooting the other during an eclipse that suggests once again that this is all happening as some kind of punishment in hell or otherwise. Once again there is a reference to dreaming, bringing to our attention the dream-like metaphoric quality of it all: familiar things take odd and unrecognizable shape and one’s fears and anxiety manifest themselves in fantastical ways.
Then we end on the first page of the first issue with one apparent difference: the kid replaces “cock” with “pussy” when asking if its still there. Are we shifting perspective/reality? Are we in an infinite loop that would suggest a punishment/hell explanation? Its both clearer and further from comprehension than ever before. Perhaps it is me that no longer makes sense.
Its this infectious quality that “Intersect” has that keeps me coming back all this time. I’m equally horrified and intrigued, confused and connected, blind and seeing in new ways. This book is pulling me apart and I’m the first to acknowledge how manipulated I am right now. I feel like I won’t be ok until I make sense of it. I wonder if that is how schizophrenics feel.
Lets start a discussion about this book; its warrants one as much as any book does. I want to know your theories about what is really happening, what Lucky, the Kid, and the Orgasm Monster represent. But more importantly, tell me how it makes you feel. Tell me why you keep coming back. Lets form an “Intersect” support group. My name is Eric, and I’m obsessed with “Intersect”. We can get through this together. We are not alone.

‘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.
