Werewolves on the Moon #2 Out This Wednesday
Once again proving my theory that werewolves are making a comeback…Dark Horse comics are bringing out issue 2 of Werewolves on the Moon this week. It’s a pretty fun comic and it should be since it’s astronaut werewolves fighting the king of the vampires on the moon. More info after the break…
It’s not easy being the King of the Vampires. Especially when you’re living on the Moon. Sure you’re safe on the dark side with plenty of time to plan your vampire invasion of Earth, but it’s the little things that really ruin what would otherwise be an ideal situation. Like the fact that your choice of bride is the Captain of the Moon Patrol and would sooner drive a stake through your heart than become your wife. Or the sudden appearance of three werewolves named Ted, Jeff, and Stan who are causing general mayhem and threatening to turn the entire human population of the Moon into one huge, snarling, fur-covered roadblock on your road to total lunar domination. It can all get to be a bit much. It really makes you wonder why you even bother to get out of the coffin in the evening.
IDW Dark and Paramount recently joined forces to launch limited comic book tales set in the worlds of Smile and A Quiet Place, and we’ve learned today that they’ll continue hanging around in those franchise universes with two brand new limited series tales.
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively revealed this afternoon that IDW Dark’s Any Given Smile debuts in September, while A Quiet Place: Rising Tides arrives in November.
First up, from writer Stephanie Williams and artist Pablo Collar, Any Given Smile puts a football-themed twist on Parker Finn’s successful Smile movie franchise.
The five-part limited series is “set in January 1995, during the American Arena League football championship game in St. Augustine, Florida. The rising superstar of the Sharks, backup quarterback Dupree, is feeling the pressure from his teammates, the fans, and also the city’s gambling underworld, to whom he owes a considerable debt. Meanwhile, a sports journalist investigates a string of suicides that may be connected to the big game. At the very least, they are connected to a sinister entity that preys on the minds of its victims.”
From writer Declan Shalvey and artist Luke Sparrow, A Quiet Place: Rising Tides will also be a five-issue limited story. The comic book tale “brings the creatures to the Florida Keys, where a father-daughter duo attempt to survive on water in a houseboat.”
EW further details, “This tense family reunion coincides with the arrival of the vicious creatures that hunt through sound. Grace and her dad find safety on the open ocean, but she’ll have to make landfall sooner or later; the father’s oxygen tank and their supplies are running low, while a hurricane swiftly approaches.”
