Posted on by

youll-do-bad-thingsAward-winning artist and writer Tyler Boss (What’s The Furthest Place From Here?), rising star artist Adriano Turtulici, and lettering legend Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou are teaming up to deliver a grisly new horror miniseries that follows a once-famous true crime writer whose horrifying fictional stories are coming to life in a string of murders by a mysterious serial killer.

Drenched in pulpy Giallo film-inspired neon gore, You’ll Do Bad Things takes a deep dive into the worlds of true crime and serial killers, and the fandoms surrounding both. With a touch of B-horror camp, fans of Dario Argento films, Stephen King’s Misery, and true crime will enjoy this gorgeously dark six-issue miniseries, launching this March.

In You’ll Do Bad Things, it’s been ten years since the release of He Came in with a Smile, the true crime smash hit that chronicled the brutal murders committed by the Nursery Rhyme Killer. But in the decade since its release, its author Seth Holms hasn’t produced another title.

New Ongoing Series The Hive, Delivers A Sting This February

Posted on by

the-hivePopular creators AJ Lieberman (Cowboy Ninja Viking, Term Life, Batman: Gotham Knights) and Mike Henderson (Nailbiter, The Forged, Cable: Love & Chrome) are joining forces to co-create the buzzy new ongoing Image Comics series The Hive. The stinging crime series follows former worker bee criminals—who have special hivemind mind control powers—and a new recruit as they try to flee a vengeful Queen Bee crime boss on the warpath. Bee hierarchy and biology meets crime warfare in this action-packed neo-noir story, launching in February 2025.

Mason Shaw is no one. A worker bee. All that changes when he crosses paths with a few stragglers trying to stay one step ahead of a queen with immense powers. There are those among us that can connect and manipulate the people around them into a hivemind state—like a beehive. These people are called Hivers. It’s not hypnotism. It’s not some kind of drug. It’s biological. The Hive is about a group of hunted hivers struggling to remain one step ahead of their wrathful former queen who is hunting them down. But when a mysterious worker bee gets recruited it starts a series of events that puts everyone on a collision course and will end with everyone in danger… especially the Queen. Sex. Violence. And Bees. Welcome to The Hive.

“The Hive is nothing you’d expect but exactly what you’d want in a dirty, neo-noir story set against a world where some people can connect and control others in a hivemind—like bees in a hive,” said Lieberman and Henderson in a joint statement. “Our fascination with bees and the hierarchy within a hive is what led us to start thinking about how that might look if graphed onto humans. What we can’t wait for is for fans to see how the story builds to an ending that expands the world we’ve created in the most unexpected way.”

Michel Fiffe Kicks Off Highly Anticipated Finale Story Arc Death Of Copra Miniseries

Posted on by

Michel-Fiffe-Death-Of-CopraMichel Fiffe’s critically-acclaimed superhero revenge epic will begin a high octane, action-packed finale story arc with the upcoming Death of COPRA. This four issue miniseries will launch in January 2025 from Image Comics.

“The whole thing is bittersweet, which is perfect in a way,” said Fiffe. “The story of COPRA is one of duality: brutal but tender, bombast as defined by human nuance, crafted with a love of comics history while guided by an eye towards the future.”

This new chapter will kick off with 32 story pages written, drawn, colored, and lettered by Fiffe, who added: “These characters have been through the wringer for a long time. Some have their retribution and others get their comeuppance; all of these moments have been speeding towards this crucial home stretch. Although COPRA has traditionally been a single ongoing narrative, this final arc deserved its own space to unfold.”
