Spook-tober-blessed: Conspiracies, Vampires, and Other Thrills/Chills.

JUMP SCARE!

Hi, all.

It’s spooky season, the time when Jack Skellington has his mid-life crisis and — like so many celebrities whose stars have begun to fade — attempts a Christian re-brand.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

I know he did a bad job and all, but as an adult I realize Jack Skellington only had about two months to pull together his first Christmas, after exhausting the year’s worth of resources they spent on Halloween, so maybe cut the guy some slack.

Here’s what I’ve been up to lately:

NEW TRAILER: INSIDE JOB on NETFLIX

For most of quarantine, my full-time job was writing for Shion Takeuchi’s (Gravity Falls, Rick & Morty) new adult-animated show Inside Job. I loved doing it, I’m incredibly proud of my contributions, and I can’t wait for you to see it.

Via Variety:

The Truth is Out There, and Lizzy Caplan, Christian Slater and Clark Duke will find it in Netflix’s “Inside Job,” a new conspiracy theory office comedy animated series from “Gravity Falls” writer Shion Takeuchi and creator Alex Hirsch.

Part 1 of Inside Job premieres on Netflix on 10.22.21 — Set your Netflix Reminder now and follow @InsideJob on Twitter and Instagram.

Chilling Fact: Everyone loves the Marvel movies, but very few people ever step foot in their local comic book shop and check out the source material.

Here’s how you can pre-order DARKHOLD: BLADE from a LOCAL COMIC SHOP NEAR YOU and become one of those insufferable geniuses who knows what’s going to happen in the movies because you read the comic books:

  • Go to http://Comicshoplocator.com — or, if you’re more familiar with it (and why wouldn’t you be) — Google Maps.

  • Call that local shop and ask them to reserve you a copy of DARKHOLD: BLADE by Daniel Kibblesmith and Federico Sabbatini, due out in October 2021. Give them your name and telephone number.

  • When they call you, go buy it.

  • Read it immediately on a park bench with an autumnal novelty coffee.

  • Spread the word on social media that you are a comic book expert now and DARKHOLD: BLADE is your favorite comic book of all time (may require a selfie with cover as proof).

You can also pre-order RIGHT NOW digitally for the Kindle and Comixology apps, or buy a copy from a store that ships nationally, like Midtown Comics.

OR you can just pre-order the whole paperback collection of the entire Darkhold storyline, here or from a local bookstore near you.

THE KING OF DEATH!

Are you fanged, or are you food? The world is divided into humans and vampires – and Blade, the one who walks between them both…and kills with equal impunity. After reading from the cursed Darkhold, Blade and a cadre of other heroes were meant to enter Chthon’s dimension and stop the ancient god from destroying the Multiverse. But reading the book has changed all their lives and histories…and for Blade, the consequences are far-reaching. Vampires rule the world, and he rules over them all. But there are some heroes left—and Blade is not as omniscient as he thinks. 32 PGS./ONE-SHOT/Rated T+ …$3.99


Garfbert Garfberts on.

You’d think having a newborn and several full and part-time writing jobs would make it difficult to do a regularly updated, unpaid, unlicensed Instagram comic about Dilbert living with Garfield, but it turns out all this delirium needs to go somewhere.

All “Classic Garfbert” strips now live on the Garfbert Instagram account (also at Garfbert.com) with new updates every Monday for as long as schedule and fatigue permits.

If you haven’t subscribed yet, here’s a gallery of ALL OF THE NEW ONES SO FAR. “Enjoy.”
