Holy Robotic Spiders ‘Deathlok: The Demolisher’ #5 Preview!
As I stated last month, “DEATHLOK: THE DEMOLISHER” features some of the most stunning artwork in the biz right now courtesy of Lan Medina. But besides all of that, ‘DEATHLOK’ himself has become one of Marvel’s more interesting characters recently, gaining a very strong following and earning him a new cameo in ‘WOLVERINE’. So for those who haven’t yet hopped on the Deathlok bandwagon yet (or just don’t know what all the fuss is about) click on over past the break and read the first 7 pages of the newest issue of his ongoing monthly and find out for yourself. Or, ya know, you could always just do it for the killer-robotic-arachnids. I mean…if that’s what you’re into.

“TO RESCUE FROM MONSTERS”
“The Deathlok protocols have been initiated…and they can be summed in a single word: Demolish. RoXXon Corps is about to learn the cost of its sizzling ratings. In the end, the fate of the world lies in the hands of two men blown to bits long ago on a battlefield, two men with no lost love for each other: hotdog super soldier Lieutenant Mike Travers and the man who killed him, C.O. Luther Manning.”
“DEATHLOK: THE DEMOLISHER” Issue #5 Hits Stands From Marvel Comics This Wednesday! (MSRP-$3.99)

‘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.
