This weeks’ pick of the week wasn’t easy seeing as there are so many promising issues for some of your favorite titles coming out tomorrow (‘HAUNT’, ‘DEAD AHEAD’, ‘CHEW’, ‘DINGO’) but when it came down to it a title such as ‘FORGETLESS’ needs to be talked about. Read on for the 5 page preview and, of course, why you should care. “The Forgetless nightclub is the biggest party in New York, and now it’s ending. But Sonia and Sara, struggling models turned professional killers, want to make sure it goes out with a bang.

WRITTEN BY: Nick Spencer
ILLUSTRATIONS BY: W. Scott Forbes, Marley Zarcone
So, how exactly does a struggling model become a professional killer? And what happens when said model-turned-killer ends up getting trashed and shooting the wrong guy – the really wrong guy? The party’s just getting started at FORGETLESS club night, but for our girl Sara, it might already be over.

Why You Should Care
For those who haven’t gotten themselves acquainted with Nick Spencer’s (‘EXISTENCE 2.0’) MTV Generation fueled work in the darker veins of comedy and sci-fi then you are horribly missing out. ‘FORGETLESS’ offers readers equal amounts comedy, action, violence, and sex appeal in a neat little package that should appeal to even the most timid of readers. In fact this is one of the few titles that i would venture to say you could show your girlfriend and she would actually show interest. (Disclaimer: I offer no guarantees) The story of Sonia and Sara is not only a journey that has thus far been highly entertaining, but also one that is very unique and often times downright unforgettable. (I couldn’t help it, give me a break)
If you are looking to get into the series this month’s issue would be a good time to start. The third installment of the series promises to give readers new insight into the pasts of the female leads who are responsible for the bloodshed in club ‘Forgetless’, and to explain some key plot-points.
So for those who are looking for something new and something very unique that will offer not only some thrills but laughs as well then Nick Spencer’s “FORGETLESS” is a title that is more than worth your $3.50.

‘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.
