Brutal Horror Comic ‘OBSO/LETE’ Coming This August

Two bartenders in a run-down future city realize their district is being infiltrated and assimilated by cybernetic horrors. That’s the premise of OBSO/LETE, the highly-anticipated new horror comic from G.A Alexander (writer), Justin M. Ryan (artist), and Daniela Barisone (artist). Their trio’s goal is to produce a comic that marries the neon-drenched world of cyberpunk with the grim tone and nightmare aesthetics of horror. We were inspired by movies like Hellraiser and Blade Runner, as well as comics like The Crow and 30 Days of Night that offer a gritty street-level view of the fantastic and often horrific events that take place in their stories.” Alexander states. “1995: A Hacker Attack takes out half of the US Government’s infrastructure. In 1996, The US Cybersecurity Act outlaws and severely restrict access to any networked or mobile technologies for the entire country. 2046: NOW… The City, a sprawling metropolis consisting of almost twenty separate districts, is under immense pressure.

Exclusive: Trailer And Update For The ‘Crawl Of Die’ Sequel

BackyardFilms has just announced the upcoming sequel(s) to their 2015 breakout Horror, CRAWL or DIE, starring actress and singer, Nicole Alonso (CRAWL or DIE, Screen) who is returning as the fan-favorite badass action hero, Tank. Written and directed by acclaimed Indie director, Oklahoma Ward, filming has wrapped on the sequel that is currently in post-production. Ward and Alonso have kept the plot to their highly anticipated sequel(s) close to the vest, but what we do know is that Alonso’s Tank is back with a heart-pounding vengeance, and the Mohawk sporting, steel-nerved warrior will finally come face-to-face with the creature and this time — IT’S WAR! We called CRAWL or DIE a “claustrophobic masterpiece” back when it was released and there is no doubt that Ward’s follow-up will be just as intense, terrifying, and anxiety-inducing as its precursor. Backyard Films, LLC is the brainchild of Oklahoma Ward and Nicole Alonso. Started in 2012 as a means of producing the original CRAWL
