Review of PSP Digital Version of Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse #1
I had some free time this holiday to cozy up with some digital comics on the psp. The best comic I read from those was Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse #1. Not only is it a great comics, but the digital version added a creator’s commentary from artist/writer Ben Templesmith. Hit the break for more thoughts…
I downloaded a couple of the free comics afford from the Playstation Network service and I was quite impressed with the software. It is a typical e-comic reader, but what is nice is that it has a guidance in it that moves the camera like your eyes would reading a book. The camera guides you through the pages, focusing on certain scenes, and even using camera shakes/tilts when needed. The best added extra I liked was the creator’s commentary on the issue. On certain pages/panels, Templesmith would go into detail on the process of making a comic or in depth analysis of the characters. It also does not hurt that Ben Templesmith is charming and hilarious.
Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse #1 still stands up when it first came out, and with the digital version it’s only 99 cents. You simply cannot pass this up, with a great story and bonus content it is a no brainer.

‘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.
