Preview: Victorian Undead #3
One of the guiltiest pleasures in comic books right now (Yes, even more so than “Barack the Barbarian”) is Wildstorm’s “Victorian Undead.” As tentative as most were when this one was announced last year I wasn’t sure how this one would go over, but since its first issue in November the mini-series has been a very popular title for the company. Beyond the break you’ll find the preview for the 3rd issue in the ongoing dilemma before Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.
“This sensational miniseries continues as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves in an increasingly desperate position as Baker Street falls to the undead. What’s the dastardly secret behind this plague on London, and can the help of Sherlock’s genius brother, Mycroft, shed light on the horrors before it’s too late?”
Being that we have been waiting for the undead to break out of the tunnels below London and out into the streets I have to say that this looks like one exciting issue. If you haven’t already jumped on the bandwagon for this title I would definitely recommend starting on January 27th when issue #3 hits shelves. (MSRP $2.99)

‘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.
