The Book of Nosferatu #1
Writer: Michael Moreci
Artist: Todor Hristov
Publisher: Ablaze
Every monster has a beginning! Learn the origin of Nosferatu in this adult tale of unrestrained gothic horror written by Michael Moreci (Barbaric, Dick Tracy) and illustrated by Todor Hristov (Stranger Things)!
Emil’s wife is missing, but no one in his village will do anything about it. No one will even speak of it. It’s like she never even existed. But Emil knows the truth: Bella did not simply vanish, she was taken, prey to the region’s terrifying blight…Nosferatu. Unable to break through the taboo surrounding any interference in these cursed matters, Emil turns away from society and into a world full of unknown and strange powers. What terrible things lurk between the villages in the deep, dark woods, and how can he harness them to find his beloved bride? Can he harness them at all, or will he too succumb to their curses?
Bleeding Hearts Vol. 1 TP
Writer: Deniz Camp
Artist: Stipan Morian
Publisher: DC Comics / Vertigo
The zombies won—and 10 years after the fall of humanity, they’re the dominant form of life (or not-life) on Earth. They’ve developed their own cultural practices, their own language, and their own society, all organized around hunting and devouring the few living humans unlucky enough to still be fighting for survival. Mouse-Pokes-Golf-Ball-Through-Hole-in-Head (“Poke” for short) is a valued and beloved member of the Brain-Splashes-and-Sizzles-on-Hot-Rocks Horde of the Undead, and with his brother-in-arm Mush, he’s happy to shamble along through the only world he can remember … until the day his heart mysteriously starts beating again. And in a blink, the first humans he sees have stopped looking like food and have started looking like … friends …?
The team behind 20th Century Men, the bold mission statement that launched writer Deniz Camp and artist Stipan Morian to the next level of the comics industry, has reunited at last to bring you a world ruled by ruthless kill-or-be-killed logic, pitted against the demands of a single beating, bleeding, emotional heart!
