IDW Publishing Announces An All New ‘Angel’ Arc With ‘Barbary Coast’!
It has been nearly, oh, I don’t know, 5 years since I last watched a rerun of either Buffy or the spin-off Angel. I admit, my adolescent obsession with Buffy of course spurred me on to its counter part, and I have to say I never thought it ever quite obtained the same magic as the its bigger sister. (Or brother, hell, just take the figure of speech will ya?) I will say though that I did always wonder just where the pre-Edward fanged heartthrob came from, and now thanks to IDW Publishing my questions just might be answered as they look to drop a new 3 part mini that chronicles Angel’s past. Read on for the preview of “ANGEL: BARBARY COAST.
WRITTEN BY: Robert Tischman
ILLUSTRATIONS BY: Franco Urru and Dan Panosian
“A recently souled Angel is on a quest for a “cure” in San Francisco when, of course, something goes horribly wrong. Seeking out a Chinese healer, Angel encounters a mysterious girl with a strange tattoo and quickly learns that life in early 1900’s America is full of surprises…”
“ANGEL: BARBARY COAST” #1 Hits Stores On April 28th From IDW Publishing! (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.
