Marvel Zombies 4 Out This April
Fresh off the returned success of the Marvel Zombies series, Marvel is releasing Marvel Zombies 4 this April. Series 4 will take place right after series 3 and feature the Midnight Sons fighting the good fight against the undead. Series 3 was a breathe of fresh air in the series so I’m excited to see how Series 4 turns out. As always the series will have covers by amazing artist, Arthur Suydam. More info after the break…
The fan favorite creative team behind Marvel Zombies 3 returns with a brand new chapter in the Marvel Zombies mythos! Acclaimed writer Fred Van Lente and artist Kev Walker join forces once again in Marvel Zombies 4 #1 with another adventure full of action, thrills and gore! The new Midnight Sons are the only ones who can prevent the inevitable apocalypse, but how long can they last? This issue also features a variant by seminal zombie artist Arthur Suydam!
Fans and critics alike agree—Van Lente & Walker are a hit on Marvel Zombies:
“Van Lente hits all the right notes here, as he balances the sick humor with an engaging plot, providing a few twists and turns in just a single issue. And Walker’s art is streamlined an effective, with a kind of blocky Steve Dillon vibe that I haven’t seen from him before.” Timothy Callahan, ComicBookResources.com
“Writer Fred Van Lente manages to merge two of my favorite things in recent Marvel history, the dark horror of the Marvel Zombies and the wry, vicious Aaron Stack from the late, lamented Nextwave. Kev Walker manages to convey pure horror and comedy (sometimes even in the same panel).” Matthew Peterson, MajorSpoilers.com
Written by FRED VAN LENTE, Penciled by KEV WALKER, Cover by GREG LAND ,Variant Cover by ARTHUR SUYDAM, $3.99 On-Sale—4/8/09

‘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.
