DEVIL'S DUE updates with new release dates on two key titles

By pghhead -

EDITOR’S NOTE: We’ve been wondering what happened to the SQUARRIORS saga, one of our favorite small press releases, and appreciate the update. We’re sharing it here in case you were also awaiting news on either of these titles. SQUARRIORS has amazing, realistic art — probably the best and most accurate depictions of animals that I’ve seen.  From the official Devil’s Due press release . . . . .

Squarriors, Lord of Gore Return with New Solicitations

Diamond Re-Solicits Coming Spring 2018

11/7/18: CHICAGO: Originally solicited for 2017, the long awaited Squarriors: Summer #3 will return to comic shops this March, preceded by the murder mystery-thriller Lord of Gore #4 this February.

Squarriors is the tale of warring rodents in a post apocalyptic, post-human world, with a twist being that humanity’s demise occurred in the 1980s. It appears that the same event that wiped out humans has caused nearly all animals in the world to become sentient by 1996.

Lord of Gore is the story of a soon-to-be-fired screenwriter of America’s favorite slasher horror franchise 'Lord of Gore', Danny Graves. Decades ago scandal propelled the 'Lord of Gore' B-movie franchise to mainstream success. In 1989 the film's costumed slasher actor murdered a young actress in ways worse than his on-screen character, creating a media frenzy. Now on the cusp of a modern reboot, a struggling screenwriter learns that the deranged star wasn't the only guilty party that night, but before he can share the information, the film's slasher seems to have stepped from the screen into real life to stop him. Horror fans and readers thirsting for blood - this is for you!

Both titles were originally solicited for 2017 releases, and postponed due to creative delays. Art has been completed for both issues and approved for release by Devil’s Due Entertainment.

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this type of fare on a regular basis, but

Best descriptive 2013 title: Vampire Vixens of the Wehrmacht

By pghhead -

VAMPIRE VIXENS OF THE WEHRMACHT “If You Want Blood” one-shot (Bump and Grind Comics, August 2013, second printing with foreword by film maker Paul Campion) Writers: The Emperor + Alex Ronald.  Artist: Alex Ronald.  Letterer: Jim Campbell. Original Concept: Alex Ronald.  (Parental Advisory, Adult Content)  Limited print run, but digital copies are available from http://www.vampirevixens.co.uk/           If you can’t figure out what this comic is about from that title, then I’m guessing you’ve been living for decades in a cave without a DVD player and no access to cable television.   VAMPIRE VIXENS OF THE WEHRMACHT is a fast-paced horror comic driven by action, rooted in World War II history, and dripping with blood, gore and tantalizing sexual imagery.  What makes it work is a light-hearted approach to the subject matter, all in fun but never silly or stupid.  You may find yourself laughing at several of the scenarios or chuckling at the devilish dialogue.           VAMPIRE VIXENS O
