Rotting Trailer for Zeke Deadwood, Comic Coming In July
We just got our hands on the trailer for the upcoming SLG comic, Zeke Deadwood, which comes out in July. Which tells the tale of a zombie lawmen. This looks to be kinda of tongue and cheek with some retro trimmings to it…which is to say I already have my pre-order in. More info and trailer after the break.
He’s tough. He’s heroic. He’s… really, really stinky. Like gag-inducing, birds-falling-from-the-sky stinky. He’s Zeke Deadwood, zombie lawman, and if you’re a no-count outlaw looking to rustle up trouble, you’d best be moving on! A villainous band of varmints has taken over a small town, and the townsfolk’s only hope is an undead loner. Can Zeke stop the drunken rampage of terror? Will the townsfolk even let themselves be saved by the undead?
Created, drawn and co-written by award artist Thomas Boatwright with Ryan Rubio (creators of Cemetery Blues), Zeke Deadwood, is a classic western tale of Saturday matinee action with a healthy dose of B-movie horror in the form of a 24-page one-shot from SLG Publishing this July.
Boatwright teamed up with Rubio to create a character out of what had been a homework assignment at the Joe Kubert School. “Ryan wrote a couple of pages that really clicked with me and allowed me to finally do something sequential,” said Boatwright. “I’m incredibly happy after all this time to have a company like SLG Publishing handling my favorite undead doodle.”

‘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.
