Prequel Digital Comic Announced for ‘Hell is Us’; Demo Now Available at SDCC
Rogue Factor and publisher NACON have dropped in on San Diego Comic-Con 2025 to announce a collaboration with AMD and Dead Good Comics on a 16-page comic book tie-in prequel to the upcoming open-world adventure title Hell is Us. Not only that, but those attendees can check out the demo for Hell is Us at the Restart Gaming Lounge until July 27.
Coming August 6, the prequel digital comic book will chronicle the events occurring right before the beginning of the game and that led to the game’s protagonist, Remi, to abandon his post as a peacekeeper to infiltrate Hadea.
Crafted in collaboration with Dead Good Comics, the comic book features artwork by Andrea Scalmazzi (Dune: House Corrino, Samuel Stern) and Antonio Antro (Lego Batman Magazine, Power Rangers), and is based on a story by Stu Taylor (Crusader Kings III: Many Roads to Power, Octobriana and the Underground, Warhammer Monthly), under the supervision of Hell is Us Creative and Art Director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête.
The cover of the book is from Yanick Paquette (Absolute Batman, Harley Quinn, Justice League Unlimited) and Marcelo Maiolo (Wolverine, Batman and Robin, Amazing Spider-Man). The Hell is Us comic book will be available digitally, for free, on the NACON website.
Hell is Us sees players take on the role of Rémi, a protagonist on a quest to find his origins in a country ravaged by civil war. The country’s almost total autarky conceals a dark secret: the recent appearance of strange creatures reminiscent of ancient headstones and monuments in the region. Armed with weapons specially forged to fight these monsters, Rémi must learn how to defeat them and use his equipment wisely.
Look for Hell is Us to launch on September 4 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam.

‘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.
