#NYCC: Dark Horse Announces Maberry's BAD BLOOD!

NYCC: DARK HORSE ANNOUNCES BAD BLOOD!

FROM BRAM STOKER WINNER JONATHAN MABERRY

NEW YORK, NY—As announced at New York Comic Con, Dark Horse is set to publish a new creator-owned series from Bram Stoker Award winner Jonathan Maberry (Ghost Road Blues)—Bad Blood! With art by the Eisner Award–winning Tyler Crook (B.P.R.D., The Sixth Gun), this five-issue miniseries promises a vampire tale with an unlikely hero.

Being bitten by a vampire pissed him off, but seeing his best friend brutally slaughtered started a war. Trick Croft was an average college student—sort of—until vampires attacked. Then he found out his blood was poison to the bloodsuckers. And Trick will do anything to eradicate them.

“Bad Blood tells the story of Trick, a teenage slacker on the losing side of a fight with cancer. When he’s attacked by a vampire, he figures it’s game over. Except that the chemo drugs in Trick’s blood poison the vampire. As punishment, the vampires begin slaughtering everyone Trick loves. So he goes hunting for the vamps to try to destroy them,” writer Jonathan Maberry explains. “His only superpower? The chemo drugs in his system are deadly to the undead. His only ally? A heroin-addicted Goth chick. Bad Blood brings the pain in a downbeat tale of heartbreak, loss, and courage.”

Bad Blood #1 (of 5) is on sale January 1, 2014, in comic shops everywhere!

Severed Collected Edition Review (Mild Spoilers)

Severed

While looking for something new to read in the world of comics that isn’t in the super hero vein as, well, to be quite frank I’ve been getting a bit bored with super hero comics as the writing on a majority of them have been pretty stale and did not really interest me all that much.  Not all of them mind you.  There are some books out that have been very good and very well written that makes your gray matter do brain exercises.  On the advice of @Spaced4SimonPeg I picked up and read Severed by Scott Snyder and Scott Tuft and, well, what a story they did spin out of their very warped imagination.

The story is centered upon Jake Garron who runs away from his home in search of his father.  Jake found out he was adopted and is determined to find him.  He hitches a ride on a train where he befriends Sam.  Sam knows the ropes and helps out Jake who is only 12 years old and very naïve about the real world and dangers of 1916.  In Chicago Jake and Sam come in contact with an old man named Alan Fisher who seems too keen to help them find Jakes dad.   The problem is Alan Fisher has a dark secret.  A secret that will turn out to be a very deadly thing as Alan Fisher isn’t what he seems to be.
