Still have the holiday spirit? Jump into Grimm Universe Presents Quarterly: 2021 Holiday Special, an irreverent horror romp presented by Krampus himself. This anthology features three mean-spirited stories and an epilogue full of demons, monsters, magic, and holiday trips straight to Hell.
Possessive #3: A Failure to Launch
Possessive #3 sees Todd trying to reunite his family as the poltergeist Katheryn wreaks havoc on his life. Despite a promising premise and some fun gags along the way, this three-part horror rom-com series comes to a predictably rocky conclusion in its final chapter, leaving me rooting for Katheryn and hoping Todd gets his comeuppance…
REVIEW: Cinderella Versus Zombies Brings the Fun
Cinderella has moved to Toronto for a fresh start. However, when a horde of the undead descends on the city, she finds herself in more trouble than she asked for. At turns both goofy and gory, Cinderella Versus Zombies is a slapstick horror comedy that delivers on a good time.
REVIEW: Belle: Headless Horseman Delivers the Action
Back again in a bloody adventure, beast hunter Belle DiMarco squares off against the Headless Horseman. The well-paced action and grisly horror elements make for an entertaining read, but the overbearing narration and chatty characters sometimes undermine the tension.
REVIEW: Van Helsing: Beast of Exmoor is More Bark than Bite
The legendary hunter Liesel Van Helsing returns in this bloody romp through the moorlands. A beast has returned to wreak havoc outside Somerset, and the locals are no match for the creature, leaving Liesel the only one left standing to take it down. However, while this monster-hunting adventure contains a fair bit of intrigue and…
REVIEW: Grimm Tales of Terror Quarterly: 2021 Halloween Special
This Halloween, Keres, the Goddess of Death, returns for a bloody romp through Nightmareland, capturing souls at the haunted amusement park. Grimm Tales of Terror Quarterly: 2021 Halloween Special is an anthology that features four flawed horror tales, bookended by a spooky main story that makes the ride whole worth it.
REVIEW: Fine Print Takes its Time Getting Off
Mend a broken heart? Deal with your bad habits? Make a deal with a demon — ahem — Succubus with the bite of a golden apple…
Possessive #2: Caught in a Bad Romance
The unconventional romance between abrasive alcoholic Todd and the poltergeist haunting his new home continues as the pair get to know one another. While their relationship develops into a quirky yet promising romance, this absurd horror rom-com still fails to get the laughs as it buckles beneath its own premise.
Possessive #1: A Confused Haunted House Romance
Pitched as an off-beat horror rom-com, Possessive is a three-part series from Zenescope that boasts a team-up between writers Hans Rodionoff (Lovecraft, Lost Boys: The Thirst) and Adam F. Goldberg (ABC’s The Goldbergs). It follows the burgeoning romance between failed artist and abject loser Todd and the ghastly specter haunting his recently purchased fixer-upper, whose…
REVIEW: The Watcher – A Failure of Community
Originally released in 2019, Zenescope’s The Watcher is a collected three-issue thriller. The story, written by Ralph Tedesco and scripted by Victoria Rau, promises a spooky blend of fun and scares with pencils from Julius Abrera and Babisu Kourtis. However, it delivers a cynical, lukewarm horror romp that struggles to make sense of its own…
Cover Girl: Vault Gets Undressed [NSFW]
In a very special edition of our Cover Girl series, I’m taking a look at some very sexy, very NSFW covers and chatting with Vault Comics’ EiC, Adrian Wassel about the company’s Vault Undressed line.
REVIEW: Cheat(er) Code is a Queer Answer to Scott Pilgrim
When Anthony Oliviera recommended Cheat(er) Code, a new erotic graphic novel by writer S. A. Foxe and artist Daz, on Twitter last November, the endorsement could not have come at a better time. He described it as “exactly the kind of cheerfully horny gay smut we need right now.” In the post-DST bleakness of pandemic…
