WEREWOLF BY NIGHT'S FEROCITY UNLEASHED IN NEW RED BAND COMIC SERIES04/17/24 @ 3:23 pm EST
Source: Marvel | Categories: Werewolf By Night | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentThis summer, Werewolf By Night embarks on new adventures so violent and bloody, it can only be told in Marvel’s new Red Band format! WEREWOLF BY NIGHT, Jack Russell’s new solo ongoing series, will be written by Jason Loo, writer of the upcoming
Werewolf By Night: Blood Hunt one-shot, and drawn by artist Sergio Dávila, known for his bold work on titles like
Venom and
Thor. Marvel’s premier horror icon will undergo a startling transformation during
Blood Hunt that will cause his upcoming battles and hunts to be too graphic for some readers. Labeled with a Parental Advisory and polybagged to keep those weak of heart from experiencing its intensity, WEREWOLF BY NIGHT will mark a new chapter in the character’s 50-year storytelling history as Jack gets his claws, fangs, and fur blood-soaked like never before! FULL MOON RISE – WEREWOLF KILL! Jack Russell has been trying to live a simple life – but in the deadly and dramatic wake of the
Blood Hunt, his life is about to be turned upside down in ways he never imagined! With new enemies hoping to extract a (literal) pound of flesh and Jack unsure if he can be trusted around old allies and a lost love, the original WEREWOLF BY NIGHT is in for the fight of his life…and he’s in it alone! “I give Jack Russell a taste of the life he wants before the
Blood Hunt event rips it away and leaves blood on his hands,” Loo shared. “His new journey is to find redemption while figuring out his new lycanthropic transformation. No one is safe when the full moon is out. But luckily, Elsa Bloodstone is around to keep him in check.” “Our team is delivering a very metal, monster comic and we’re not holding back,” Loo continued. “I’m both shocked and impressed at myself for conjuring up these gruesome scenes from the dark recesses of my mind, then seeing them come to life with every gory detail thanks to penciler Sergio Dávila and inker JP Mayer, as our editors keep giving us the thumbs up of approval. This is literally our smash room in a Red Band comic.” “This has been a great experience,” Dávila added. “Jason Loo is writing a very wild Werewolf By Night and I’m having a lot of fun with the character. I’ve always enjoyed taking characters to the extreme and Werewolf By Night is someone very much tormented by his inner self, so this is a book full of intense action and lots of blood!” Check out E.M. Gist’s cover and preorder WEREWOLF BY NIGHT #1 at your local comic shop today!
CLASSIC PUPPET MASTER HORROR FRANCHISE LICENSE JOINS DYNAMITE04/30/24 @ 3:19 pm EST
Source: Dynamite | Categories: Dynamite | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentDynamite Entertainment is excited to announce a new licensing partnership with Full Moon Features, to produce collectibles and other projects featuring their legendary
Puppet Master series of films, in celebration of the franchise's 35th anniversary.
With plans to unleash an exciting set of trading cards celebrating the franchise's history across its dozen-plus film entries, fans can stay tuned for further information on this project and the possibility of others in this collaboration.
"
Puppet Master is one of the most unique and classic franchises in horror," said Nick Barruccci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. "We're excited to connect with the diehard fans of the films and deliver something truly special for their collections." "The
Puppet Master series might just be the most important franchise in our vast Full Moon film universe," said Charles Band, CEO and Founder of Full Moon. "So, it is extremely important to us that our brand be forever in good hands. The Dynamite team have surpassed all of our expectations, creating a collection of cards that exemplify the magic, mystery and visual grandeur of
Puppet Master and the iconic characters within. We couldn't be more pleased with this partnership."
The Puppet Master series kicked off in 1989 with its eponymous first entry. Anthropomorphic puppets animated by an ancient Egyptian spell wreak havoc, equipped with dangerous devices and weapons and out to threaten people, or even to fight against other puppets. The film is considered one of the key cult hits of the home video and rental era of horror. Its massive success and following led to 10 sequels, a reboot, spinoffs, and crossovers.
More details on the first project in this team-up between two purveyors of classic horror stories will come soon!

A PEEK AT 'BLOOD SQUAD SEVEN' #1, NEW SERIES SPINNING OUT OF 'DUTCH'04/29/24 @ 9:27 pm EST
Source: Image Comics | Categories: Image | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentImage Comics is pleased to reveal a sneak peek at the highly anticipated
Blood Squad Seven by Joe Casey (
MCMLXXV, Butcher Baker the Righteous Maker) and Paul Fry (
Spider-Man 2099, Star Wars) set to hit shelves this May from Image Comics. Spinning out of the recent
Dutch miniseries, this upcoming launch will explore ’90s superteam dynamics through a contemporary lens and feature surprise cameo appearances from some recognizable fan-favorite Image characters.
Thirty years ago, Blood Squad Seven was America’s most popular superhero team. Its members were seen on television, on magazine covers, scoring million-dollar endorsement deals…. They were celebrities and they were everywhere.
But that was then... this is now. And so, a new generation of modern-day heroes takes up the mantle—or perhaps, the poisoned chalice—fulfilling a promise made decades ago: to be the heroes that a fractured America needs.
While deconstructions of superhero nostalgia typically center around the classic characters of the Silver Age,
Blood Squad Seven will delve deep into ’90s comic book themes with this reimagining of what would happen if heroes from that decade returned to action after a 30-year absence.
Variant covers for each issue of Blood Squad Seven will be provided by an army of celebrated artists, including: Chris Weston (
Ministry of Space), Nick Pitarra (
The Manhattan Projects), Jim Rugg (Street Angel), Chris Cross (Captain Marvel), Elizabeth Torque (Captain America: Secret Empire), Mike Hawthorne (Deadpool), Cory Walker (Invincible), Ryan Quackenbush (Junior Baker the Righteous Faker), Mirko Colak (Punisher MAX), Chris Sprouse (Tom Strong), Dustin Nguyen (Little Monsters), and many more.
Blood Squad Seven #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 22:
Cover A by Paul Fry - Lunar Code 0324IM161
Cover B by Chris Weston - Lunar Code 0324IM162
Cover C (1:10) by Nick Pitarrra - Lunar Code 0324IM163
Cover D (1:20) by Jim Rugg - Lunar Code 0324IM164
Cover E (1:50) by Fry - Lunar Code 0324IM165
Blood Squad Seven will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

https://youtu.be/MjQG-a7d41Q ANOTHER STORE WILL STOP CARRYING PHYSICAL MEDIA04/28/24 @ 3:00 pm EST
Source: Variety | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentIs the future of physical media coming to an end? It used to be that DVD and Blu-Ray sales were the saving grace for some movies and you could walk into various stores and browse by genre in the same way you could for music. But like the music stores of the past, the days of swinging by your local shop and picking up the latest release are fading fast. Last year Netflix announced they were no longer doing the movie-by-mail program, so they wouldn’t be buying any more DVDs and Best Buy announced they were removing their Music/Movie sections as well. Now Target has come out and said they would be doing the same this year. A lot of studios have moved away from creating physical media, the exception being Disney who just made a deal with a third party to create their media and it has led to releases of
WandaVision,
Loki,
Moon Knight, and
the Mandalorian with SteeleBook editions. And when you purchase a movie or album digitally, there is always the chance that the hosting service you bought it on goes out of business, you will lose your purchases. While I don’t think there are any clear-cut answers here yet, I think the discussion definitely needs to be had. Physical media may seem antiquated to some, but when you computer crashes, your internet goes out or a company files bankruptcy… physical media may start looking a whole lot better.
MORE SOCIAL MEDIA DRIVEN SPECULATION FOR DEADPOOL AND SUPERMAN04/28/24 @ 2:37 pm EST
Source: Threads | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentThe ouroboros created by the success of Marvel Studios is continuing with the latest round of speculation driven by nothing. With Marvel and other superhero films becoming so popular that it led to websites and YouTube channels focused on them and now those places need to keep feeding content to their viewers. So, when
Michael B. Jordan reposts the trailer for the upcoming
Deadpool & Wolverine, we get stories of how this means he is going to return as Johnny Storm from the 2015
Fantastic Four film. Jordan did play a version of the Human Torch, but he’s also played Kilmonger in
Black Panther so he could return as either character… or he could just be promoting the next movie from Marvel because he feels connected to the studio? This is the same type of thing as
James Gunn posting the original Superman logo to social media last week and everyone running around trying to figure out what it means. It could just mean that Gunn had some free time and wanted to post something Superman related. This week he posted the bloodied fist of a Green Lantern as drawn by
Dave Johnson. There are now articles trying to figure out what this means. He also posted a picture of his cat and then his two dogs… I’m sure this is supposed to mean we’re getting a Krypto & Streaky movie soon…
