Over at the news site Comics for Sinners, you’ll find my review of Wytches #1, on sale now from Image Comics. Written by Scott Snyder (Batman) and illustrated by Jock (The Losers), it’s the first issue in a terrifying new series about a family’s encounter with the ancient, evil creatures that reside in the woods of Pennsylvania. Sailor Rooks is the new girl at school, a quirky teenager ostracized by the other students because of a terrifying, bloody event in her past—one that’s come back to haunt her, now that dark forces have taken great interest in her. If you’re into character-driven horror with a Blair Witch Project sort of feel, then Wytches just might be a comic you want to pick. Head over to C4S and check out the review!
Speaking of quirky teenage girls in dark-urban-fantasy settings, have you met Pandora Zwieback yet? The Saga of Pandora Zwieback chronicles the adventures of sixteen-year-old Pandora Zwieback, a Gothy horror fangirl who possesses amazing powers that she just learned about, including the ability to see past the human disguises worn by monsters to blend in with society. And you can meet her in the free, downloadable comic The Saga of Pandora Zwieback #0: a 16-page, full-color introduction to Pan and her world that includes two sample chapters from the novel Blood Feud: The Saga of Pandora Zwieback, Book 1. Both the novel and the comic are written by Steven A. Roman (that’s me), the bestselling author of the novels X-Men: The Chaos Engine Trilogy and Final Destination: Dead Man’s Hand; the comic features art and color by Eliseu Gouveia, artist of the illustrated classics Carmilla and A Princess of Mars, and the mature readers’ graphic novel Lorelei: Sects and the City.

Monster fans everywhere are over the moon with happiness, because tonight there are two television series premiering on NBC-TV. First off there’s the fourth season opener of Grimm, the popular series about a cop turned monster hunter. That’s immediately followed by the debut of Constantine, starring Matt Ryan as the live-action version of DC Comics’ master of the occult introduced in the series Hellblazer (and not to be confused with the film starring Keanu Reeves, although it was based on the same property). So if monster-fighting heroes are your thing, then let me introduce you to some SWC titles you might be interested in…

More information to come as the show dates get closer.

So imagine my surprise when, in 2003, he sent me the Lorelei pinup you see here—that also showed he remembered my love for the music of late blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. Nice!
