Avatar Celebrates BlackGas Friday

Posted on November 27, 2015 by Jim Kuhoric

1118851If you are out and about today on Black Friday, I’m sure you feel quite a bit like a zombie, shambling store to store in a crowd of similarly comatose shoppers.  So what better way could there be to unwind after fighting the masses for the best deal, than by stopping at your local comic shop and picking up a copy of Warren Ellis’ classic zombie tale – BlackGas.

When a tiny island off the East Coast of America experiences a massive storm, a crack in the fault line causes the expulsion of something foul from within the earth itself.  Soon the little town of Smoky Island is overrun by infected creatures.  And when the military seeks an ultimate solution, they may very well doom the entire world.

This is zombie horror at its very best.  Check out Warren Ellis’ take on the horror of infection and enjoy a scary yarn to cap off your Black Friday shopping.

Return to Claustrophobic Sci-Fi Horror in the Caliban TPB

Posted on November 19, 2015 by Jim Kuhoric

Caliban-vol1Very few movies or comics have been able to capture the tension and claustrophobic horror of Ridley Scott’s classic, Alien.  But for sci-fi fans who yearn for a story that harkens back to that dire and desperate feeling of helplessness and paranoia, Garth Ennis perfectly reinvents the mood and desolation in his original take on horror in space.  In the pages of Caliban we encounter an Earth mining ship that is on a routine trip into the cosmos in search of raw materials. caliban-4 - Copy The crew is all too nonchalant about the wonder of hurling through space faster than light and in no way prepared for the horror that waits for them in the vastness of the universe.

If you have not read this incredible self contained trade paperback story, get to your local comic shop, order on Amazon, or visit www.comcav.net to find a copy and experience a true horror masterpiece.  This is one of the must-read books of the past year and it is also a very accessible title to give as a gift to the horror comics reader in your life.

Yuggoth Cultures & Other Growths TPB

Posted on November 17, 2015 by Jim Kuhoric

ALAN MOORES YUGGOTH CULTURES TP-01Fans are universally hailing Alan Moore’s Providence as one of his most realized stories ever published.  This is tremendous praise for the slow-burn Lovecraftian horror that is being delivered in every issue of the new series.  Fans of Neonomicon look at Providence as a continuation of these themes of underlying horror that resides below consciousness.  And as the call for “more Moore” Lovecraftian horror is heard, we wanted to take a moment to remember another tale that delivers just that, in Alan Moore’s Yuggoth Cultures & Other Growths.

 

 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:     Yuggoth Cultures and Other Growths features tons of Alan’s Yuggothclassic short sequential comic book stories that have been long out of print, stories that have never before been seen and special developmental sections with original script pages and comments from Alan and the creators. This massive volume also has an extensive interview with Moore as he discusses Yuggoth Cultures, the stories inside and some of the amazing tales the lead to their creation as well as the real magic behind the works. As if that wasn’t enough, Antony Johnston’s work inspired by Yuggoth Cultures and the worlds of H.P. Lovecraft is included and features all-star art by Juan Jose Ryp, Jacen Burrows, Dheeraj Verma and many more along with copious notes on the Lovecraftian origins of the tales.

Yuggoth Cultures & Other Growths TPB is available from local comic shops, at Amazon, and from www.comcav.net.
