This April 18 and 19th, at the Brooklyn Indie Comics Showcase (a.k.a., “BICS”), located at Industry City’s Box Factory, hosted by St. Mark’s Comics, I will be debuting two, new, grindhouse horror stories in one 32-page, black & white, comic book special!

First up, is BLOOD + BRAINS, written by Jeffrey Burandt, with art by Jason Goungor, lettering by Drew Close, and logo by Jeff Powell. Cover art by Jason Goungor with colors by Simon Gough.

Premise: “When the world is overrun by zombies, how will all the other man-eating monsters survive? A coven of vampires vows to protect a suburban community in exchange for the most valuable limited resource in the land: human blood!”

Next up, is WHOM SHALL THOU SUMMON?, written by Jeffrey Burandt, with art by Kenny Millien, and lettering and logo by Jeff Powell. Cover art by Kenny Millien, with colors by Shawn McArthur.

Premise: “When a team of professional ghost hunters are mysteriously murdered while investigating a mystical mansion, their own spirits rise again to haunt the house. Now the once heroic team known as, ‘The Haunt Blasters,’ must survive the afterlife, trapped inside with the evil entity who killed them!”

Blood + Brains

B+B01_jefwritesB+B02_jefwritesB+B03_jefwritesB+B04_jefwritesB+B05_jefwrites

BLOOD + BRAINS by Jeffrey Burandt and Dean Haspiel was first published in December of 2012 in Image Comics’ Creator Owned Heroes #7, which you can buy now, digitally, on Comixology by clicking HERE.

Pitched as a full-length graphic novel, Blood + Brains takes the “vampires vs. zombies” premise, and pushes it to a whole new, adrenaline-infused level, where the ubiquitous zombie horde is but the first wave of monsters our protagonists must survive as they head out on a death-race, cattle-drive against werewolf motorcycle gangs, chupacabra long-haul truckers, and creepy, cancerous mutants. Penny Dreadful meets Mad Max.

Bleeding Cool says, “Smart storytelling can bring new life into any convention, walking dead included. And that is what “Blood + Brains” delivers, smart storytelling and new life […] into a trope that constantly seems to be on it’s last, undead legs.”

The Comics Beat says, “[D]eliver[s] something readers have simply never seen before, imploding any expectation of the familiar. [….] “Blood and Brains” retools zombie narrative by removing excess accretion and celebrating its potential in creator-owned style.”

Unleash the Fanboy says, “[Y]ou can’t help but love it.”
