Let’s face it: being a werewolf sucks. For reporter Larry Chaney, the plan was simple: solve some mysteries, be a hero, and maybe get a decent headline. Instead, he got bitten. Now, caught between having incredible new supernatural powers and a sudden, overwhelming urge to eat everyone in sight, Larry has to find a cure for his curse. Or, you know, die trying. Following the breakout success of Where Wolf, writer Robert Saucedo (Birth. Movies. Death.), artist and colorist Debora Lancianese (Quicksand), and Harvey Award-winning lettering legend Jack Morelli (Afterlife with Archie) are officially reuniting for Curse of the Where Wolf. This all-new horror-comedy graphic novel pushes Larry’s hairy misadventures into even stranger, bloodier, and surprisingly more heartfelt territory. A Recap If you missed the first chapter of Larry’s lycanthropic midlife crisis, here is the recap. Where Wolf originally debuted as a black-and-white webcomic through Fangoria before being collected as a graphic novel in 2023. Thanks to its sharp blend

If you thought John Carpenter was content with just letting his legendary filmography do the talking, the Master of Horror is here to prove that retirement is for mortals. Midsummer Scream, the world’s largest Halloween and horror convention, has announced that Carpenter is returning to the Long Beach Convention Center from August 7–9, 2026. He isn’t just coming to sign old Halloween posters, either. He’s unleashing CATHEDRAL—his very first original graphic novel alongside a companion album of the same name. It marks the first time in his five-decade career that he has tackled an original comic. It is his most ambitious cross-media project to date. The Blueprint: What Lies Beneath Downtown L.A. Co-authored with Sandy King, producer, editor, and CEO of Storm King Comics (Carpenter’s creative partner and wife), the graphic novel officially hits shelves on August 4. The story is a propulsive, claustrophobic nightmare centered on an abandoned cathedral in downtown Los Angeles. The holy ground conceals a centuries-old

He’s back, he’s still wearing the eyepatch, and no—he’s not dead. Mad Cave Studios is bringing John Carpenter’s ultimate antihero back to the printed page this fall with Escape From New York: Escape From Chicago. Launching this September, the new continuation series officially expands the dystopian, synth-scored world of the 1981 cult-classic film. Steering the escape pod for this adventure is writer Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black, No One), with artist Val Rodrigues (The Pale Knight). Together, they’re throwing Snake Plissken right back into the kind of high-stakes, maximum-violence chaos that defined ’80s sci-fi. Sweet Home, Dystopian Chicago You know the rules: once you go in, you don’t come out. Unless, of course, your name is Snake Plissken. This time around, Snake is scraping by as a “coyote.” He’s smuggling desperate people and highly illegal contraband across the heavily armed dead zones between fractured prison territories. It’s a miserable, brutal gig. But when a high-paying client hires him to extract a
