Today, creator-owned publisher DSTLRY announced “Blasfamous,” an insidious new horror-comedy comic series launching this December from Harvey Award-winning writer and artist Mirka Andolfo (Sweet Paprika, Mercy, Harley Quinn, Punchline). Set in the glittering pop music industry, Blasfamous follows Clelia, the reigning global sensation in a world where pop stars have ascended to divinity off the back of worship from their masses of fans. While the spotlight brings unimaginable power to the angels and demons who manage these viral superstars, a mysterious newcomer begins to threaten the status quo, testing how far Clelia and her demonic agent Father Lev are willing to go to defend her reign. Spinning out of her 5-page story “A Blessed Day” from DSTLRY’s debut release The Devil’s Cut, Blasfamous is a biting dissection of media idolization that expands on Andolfo’s trademark, boundary-pushing humor and style familiar to readers from international hits like Sweet Paprika and Mercy. Mixing the sacred and the profane, Andolfo merges the mythological

From director Lindsey Anderson Beer comes Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, the prequel to the 1989 classic Stephen King adaptation that taught us that “sometimes dead is better.” Set in 1969, a young Jud Crandall has dreams of leaving his hometown of Ludlow, Maine, behind but soon discovers sinister secrets buried within and is forced to confront a dark family history. Banding together, Jud and his childhood friends must fight an ancient evil that has gripped Ludlow since its founding and, once unearthed, has the power to destroy everything in its path. First, we should talk about casting. Jackson White stars as young Jud, a character made iconic by actor Fred Gwynne’s performance in the original. Jackson doesn’t exactly look like a young Gwynne, but he does give a great emotional performance, so I’m willing to look over it. Henry Thomas stars as Jud’s father, and while he has a tendency to play characters that seem distant, he showed more feeling here.
