Wormwood Down the Pub – One Shot coming December 31
Comic’s favorite vagabond, Ben Templesmith, is bringing a special Wormwood one-shot comic right before the end of the year.
This is a set of 2 little-known stories and one all new one for the gentleman corpse….more info after the break Down the Pub comes out December 31st. It seems like more Wormwood is on the way from Templesmith as he says:
“Down the Pub is a stand alone one-shot book that deals with the first ever Wormwood short stories I came up with, as well as a longer length new one, meaning the issue clocks in at basically 29 pages, unlike the usual 22-page nonsense! I hope this’ll keep fans happy until new Gentleman Corpse plans are hatched next year. Also, no humans were actually harmed in the making of this comic… honest.”
I am very excited to hear this but I’ve been really excited to see his horror takes on Doctor Who every since he announced it on the Dead Pixels podcast when I interviewed him.
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.”
