Yes, it's been awhile. I've been on a bit of a hiatus from comics press since June to make some comics of my own. As a quick plug, be sure to check out Nightmare Theater 2 on Kickstarter. That's where you'll find “Going Viral,” an 8 page short written by me, illustrated by Sonya Kinsey, and lettered by Scott Ewen. I'm excited! This episode features the return of Phillip Sevy and Drew Zucker, the creators of The House. This incredibly creepy series began as a digital-first comic, then made the jump to print for a collected edition on Kickstarter. Now, it's available in a new revised edition at your local comic shop through Dark Horse Comics. It's coming to bookshops and Amazon in the next week or so.  I was an early advocate for The House so I'm really excited for Phillip and Drew as the series makes the jump to Dark Horse. If you missed out on the previous versions, you are in for a treat as this psychological horror is sure to get under your skin. Phillip can be found online on Twitter as @PhillipSevy, on Instagram as @PhillipSevyComicArt, and at his official website, PhillipSevy.com. Drew can be found online on Twitter as @Drew_Zucker, on Instagram as @ArtOfDrewZucker, and at his official website, ArtOfDrewZucker.com.  I'm still figuring some stuff out regarding press, comics, and life, so I can't confirm when the next episode of Funny Book Splatter will be, but thank you for keeping the show on your podcast apps and giving it a listen. It is very much appreciated.  CONTACT: Email | Twitter SUBSCRIBE: RSS | Apple Podcasts | Google Play | Stitcher | Spotify Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

What is this? A podcast? That's right, folks! Funny Book Splatter is BACK! I am your host James Ferguson. Did you miss me? I sure missed you. After a hiatus that lasted more than a year, the horror comics podcast brought to you by Horror DNA is back for more and I've got a big one for you. After being gone for that long, it would have to be something major for my return episode, right? I got a chance to speak to none other than Scott Snyder.   Sure, you know his work on Batman for stuff like Death of the Family and Court of Owls, not to mention the most recent Last Knight on Earth and Death Metal, but he's got a pretty great horror pedigree with books like Wytches, Severed (a personal favorite), and Nocterra, his new comic with artist Tony S. Daniel, coming early next year from Image Comics. Fans don't have to wait that long for this new comic though as Scott has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a special version of the first issue including side-by-side comparisons of his script and tons of behind-the-scenes content.   The Kickstarter campaign has already blown through its funding goal and is moving through stretch goals. It runs through September 17th, 2020 so there's still a good amount of time to back this project and get your hands on this special edition of Nocterra #1.   CONTACT: Email | Twitter SUBSCRIBE: RSS | Apple Podcasts | Google Play | Stitcher | Spotify Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

Due to a scheduling snafu, I don’t have a guest this week.  I’ve got a few horror comics creators lined up for the next batch of episodes, but this ended up being an off week.  Don’t worry though. I’m prepared for this. This has happened once before in between episodes 25 and 26 where I played the introduction episode of the first, but lost HorrorTalk podcast, If You Watch This, I’ll Read That. If you haven’t listened to that episode, here’s a quick recap.  The show is hosted by myself and my editor Steve Pattee. The idea is that I don’t watch a ton of horror movies and Steve doesn’t read a ton of horror comics so he’d give me a movie to watch and I’d give him a comic to read.  Then we’d come back and talk about it. This is the first discussion episode where I watched The Exorcist for the first time ever and Steve read one of my all-time favorite horror comics, Colder. This was recorded a few years ago, back when Colder was only a single mini-series.  Now it’s a trilogy. We recorded four episodes of If You Watch This, I’ll Read That over the course of several months.  These never made it out into the world because we couldn’t quite get on a more routine schedule. I intend to launch a Patreon for Funny Book Splatter by the end of the year and this show is one of the goals I’ve outlined.  I want to try and carve out at least one a month. So, if you like the show, please let me know. I can be reached via email at JFerguson@horrortalk.com and on Twitter as @JamesFerguson.  I would love to hear what you think. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week. CONTACT: Email | Twitter SUBSCRIBE: RSS | iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

This week’s guest is James Powell, the writer of House of Fear, an all-ages horror anthology comic.  There are three issues of House of Fear out now, each dealing with different horrors, including Lovecraftian creatures, haunted houses, and...snowmen.  I assure you, they’re all pretty creepy, although not scary enough to give your kid nightmares. James has found a nice sweet spot. Quick note on this episode.  James mentions plans for an upcoming Kickstarter.  Those have changed a bit since the time of this recording, but suffice it to say that there is more House of Fear coming in the near future.   James was kind enough to set up a special offer for Funny Book Splatter listeners.  If you go to Ten31Publishing.com/Funny-Book-Splatter and sign up for his newsletter, you’ll receive digital copies of all three current House of Fear comics.  I can speak from experience in saying James’ newsletter is pretty solid. Most recently he offered a sneak peek into an upcoming issue so it’s well worth checking out. More information about House of Fear can be found online at the official website, Ten31Publishing.com, on Twitter @Ten31Publishing, or at Facebook.com/ten31publishing.   In other news, you may have seen the headlines that Infidel from last week’s guests, Pornsak Pichetshote and Aaron Campbell is heading to the big screen.  Michael Sugar and TriStar will adapt the series into a film. This is great news for horror fans. As excited as I am to see how Infidel wraps up, I’m just as interested to see how it will look as a movie.  Congrats guys!

This week’s guest is Clay Mcleod Chapman, the writer of Lazaretto from BOOM! Studios.  This was hands down, one of the creepiest books I’ve read in the past year. It’s the kind of comic that will have you washing your hands afterward and for good reason.  The series ran for five issues and you may be able to find them at your local comic shop. The trade paperback isn’t out for a bit, but you can definitely pick up digital copies of the single issues on ComiXology or Kindle.  This one comes highly recommended, folks. Clay can be found online at his official website, ClayMcLeodChapman.com. In other news, early Funny Book Splatter guest, John Lees is back on Kickstarter with the first volume of Sink from ComixTribe.  This collects the first five issues of the series including some extra material. It’s available in both a softcover and limited edition hardcover.  I backed this thing as soon as I saw it was launched and I strongly urge you to do the same. ComixTribe always overdelivers on their Kickstarters and they have some special giveaways planned for this very short campaign.

This week’s guest is Chris Fenoglio, the artist of Goosebumps: Monsters at Midnight from IDW Publishing.  If you’ve listened to more than one episode of Funny Book Splatter, you’ll know how much of an influence Goosebumps was on the current generation of horror comics creators.  This series is pretty great and captures that flare that made the original young adult novels so great.   You can pick up all three issues of Goosebumps: Monsters at Midnight at your local comic shop or digitally through ComiXology and Amazon Kindle.  The trade paperback collection is scheduled for release on March 28th.  Chris can be found online on Twitter and Instagram as @ChrisFenoglio. In Kickstarter news, past guest, Joseph Oliveira just launched a campaign for a new anthology comic called Folk Tales of the Cryptids.  I got an advanced look at it and it’s pretty creepy stuff so definitely check it out.   In other news, my other podcast, Raging Nerdon has returned from a brief hiatus.  Join me and co-host BJ Boothe as we talk about the latest comic book movie trailers and Stan Lee’s genitals.  Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.

This week’s guest is Matthew Erman, the writer of Long Lost from Scout Comics.  The comic, illustrated by Lisa Sterle, is described as Stranger Things meets Ghost World.  The first issue is available now and the second issue is set for release on December 27th.   You can check out a prologue for Long Lost on its official Facebook page at Facebook.com/LongLostComic.  Matthew can be found online on Twitter @MatthewErman. Lisa can be found online on Twitter @LisaSterle. It’s been awhile since I plugged this, but if you like listening to me ramble on here at Funny Book Splatter, you may be interested in my other podcast, Raging Nerdon where me and co-host BJ Boothe talk about the latest in comic book movies, pop culture, and nerdy parenting.  Check it out on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This week’s guest is Mina Elwell, the writer of InferNoct, a new series from Scout Comics that just debuted this week.  It’s a moody, Lovecraftian mini-series that really gets under your skin.  The comic follows Sam, a young girl starting a new job as an in-house nurse for an elderly man.  Things start out a little weird at first and only get stranger as the comic goes on, leading to some pretty crazy reveals in the first issue alone.   Mina can be found online on Twitter at @MinaElwell.  InferNoct can be found on Twitter at @InferNoct_Comic and on Facebook and Instagram at @Infernoct. This week’s episode is also brought to you by Mutiny, the new horror film that follows Christina, a young reporter who struggles with anxiety, that discovers a virus that causes the infected to harm themselves in violent, and sometimes fatal ways. As Christina's boss pressures her to scrap the story, she starts to see signs of the virus all around her. Now, she must decide whether the real danger is out there or in her mind. If you're into body horror and social satire, this is the movie for you.  Plus, if you’re a fan of The Kill Screen from previous Funny Book Splatter guest, Mike Garley, this will be right up your alley.  I love how the wonders of modern technology have led to a whole new breed of horror story. The crowdfunding campaign for Mutiny launches today (October 20th), where your contribution can get you exclusive content, a pre-screening of the film, and even a walk on role on set! Join Mutiny on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook at @MutinyTheFilm to find out how you can get involved and help bring this project to life.   In other news, a quick update for you.  My very first Funny Book Splatter guest, Dirk Manning has just launched a Kickstarter campaign for Tales of Mr. Rhee: Volume 4. Everything Burns.  The campaign met its funding goal in under four hours and is already plowing through stretch goals.  Dirk always overdelivers on his Kickstarter campaigns including extra comics, prints, and more.  In other news, Heavenly Blues from previous guest Ben Kahn has been optioned by 51 Minds to be turned into a feature film.  As a reminder, Heavenly Blues is basically Ocean’s Eleven in Hell.  This is some great news for Ben and I can’t wait to see how the movie turns out.   CONTACT: Email | Twitter SUBSCRIBE: RSS | iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

This week’s guest is writer Paul Tobin!  His work includes the phenomenal Colder trilogy with artist Juan Ferreyra and the upcoming Made Men from Oni Press.  Made Men follows Jutte Shelley, a descendant of Victor Frankenstein who’s forced into the family business after her and her fellow police officers are gunned down in an ambush.   Paul and I had a great talk about Made Men, as well as the horror genre in general.  I loved picking his brain about scares in comics, influences, and more.  He tells some really fun, spooky stories in this episode. Made Men #1 is set for release on September 6th from Oni Press.  Colder is being collected into a massive 400+ page omnibus on September 27th from Dark Horse Comics. Paul can be found online at his official website, PaulTobin.net and on Twitter @PaulTobin. In other news, Funny Book Splatter has surpassed 10,000 downloads.  Thank you so much for giving this show a listen and to all the guests that have taken the time to chat with me about their work.  I am not slowing down and I’ve got a number of exciting guests lined up.  Plus, I’ll be at New York Comic Con in October so I’m hoping to get some rapid fire interviews from the convention floor.   SUBSCRIBE: RSS | iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

This week my guests are Eastin DeVerna and Ryan Davidson, the writers of Howl, a werewolf comic with an amazing premise.  The series is essentially a zombie apocalypse...but with werewolves.  It follows Jack Lowe, the only human in a world where everyone turns into a werewolf during the full moon.  Even his wife! The comic is illustrated by Dan Buksa, who has delivered some of the best designs for these monsters I’ve seen in years.  It’s real scary stuff that’s amplified by the fact that Jack is the only human around. Howl began on Kickstarter and the first three issues have been released.  The creators are planning on running another Kickstarter to finish the series in a graphic novel.  You can order the first three issues in print or digital format through HowlComics.com.  Digital copies can also be ordered on ComiXology. Eastin can be found on Twitter @EastinDeVerna and Ryan can be found on Twitter @RyanGTDavidson. A few quick reminders of other stuff going on.  If you like me here, maybe you’ll dig my other non-horror, but still geeky podcast, Raging Nerdon.  My co-host BJ Boothe and I have been going through the latest nerdy news and reviewing all the comic book movies out this summer.  Check it out at RagingNerdon.com.   Also, if you like Funny Book Splatter, be a pal and leave me a positive review on iTunes.  That kind of stuff helps the show by appeasing the robot ghost of Steve Jobs.  It’s a little known fact that all podcasters have to make regular sacrifices to his techno alter.   SUBSCRIBE: RSS | iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

This week I check another name off of my Funny Book Splatter guest wishlist with writer Jim Zub.  Jim’s work includes Wayward and Glitterbomb, both from Image Comics, as well as Skullkickers, Disney’s Figment, Thunderbolts, and more.  This is the third time I’ve spoken to Jim and he’s just as genuine and enthusiastic as ever.  Listening to him speak about comics and storytelling is nothing short of inspiring. His horror series, Glitterbomb, returns on September 20th, with a new mini-series called The Fame Game.  The comic is a Hollywood horror series that takes a harsh look at our love and obsession with fame.  Plus, there are terrifying monsters.  It’s the second part of a planned trilogy and it’s structured so that anyone can jump in even if you haven’t read the first series.  But seriously, you should read the original mini-series.  I mean, it was described as “The Exorcist meets Sunset Boulevard.” How cool is that? It’s out in trade paperback now and it’s well worth your time.   Also out on September 20th, is Wayward #23, the next chapter in the series that began as “Buffy in Japan” and has since expanded into much more.  It’s a great supernatural fantasy adventure series that has been consistently well made from the jump.  You can catch up on Wayward through trade paperbacks or some gorgeous hardcovers.  You’ll want to do that as the comic is currently in development with Manga Entertainment to be turned into a TV show. Jim can be found online at his official site, JimZub.com and through Twitter @JimZub. SUBSCRIBE: RSS | iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to an up-and-coming writer who has scared the crap out of me on more than one occasion.  If you’ve listened to recent episodes of Raging Nerdon, I assure you, the two are unrelated...unfortunately.  Thom Burgess has written two absolutely terrifying one-shots.  The first, Malevolents was one of my favorite horror comics of 2015 with a heart-stopping final few pages that make me cringe just thinking of them.  The second, The Eyrie, was released earlier this year and is really giving me doubts of ever visiting the scenic countryside of the United Kingdom.   Malevolents can be purchased right now digitally through ComiXology and physical copies of The Eyrie can be found at TheEyrie.bigcartel.com.  Thom can be found on Twitter @Maleolvents. If you’re making horror comics, I’d love to have you as a guest on Funny Book Splatter.  This goes out to writers, artists, colorists, letterers, editors, and more.  If you’re involved in the process, I want to talk to you.  Hit me up via email at JFerguson@HorrorTalk.com or on Twitter @JamesFerguson.

Due to some scheduling issues, I actually don’t have a guest this week.  Don’t worry, I’ve prepared for this and no, I’m not going to sit here and talk to myself for an hour.  Who am I?  Kevin Smith?   Anyway, I’ve got a treat for you this week.  It is not widely known, but Funny Book Splatter is actually the second podcast I’ve hosted at HorrorTalk.  The first has never seen the light of day...until now.  This podcast was called “If You Watch This, I’ll Read That” and it was hosted by myself and my editor, Steve Pattee.  The show came about because I don’t watch a ton of horror movies and Steve doesn’t read a ton of horror comics so each episode, he would give me a movie to watch and I’d give him a comic to read.  Then we’d come back and talk about them.  It was a horror movie and comic discussion show so spoilers abound. What I’m going to play for you today is the pilot episode.  We introduce ourselves, go over the concept of the show, and make our first selections.  It has only previously been heard by me and Steve.  We recorded about four or five of these and then our schedules got insane and we haven’t been able to revisit it.  I still very much want to do the show.  It’s just a matter of finding time for both of us to sit down and do it.  Who knows?  If I ever get around to launching a Patreon for HorrorTalk and Funny Book Splatter, maybe this could be a backer-exclusive monthly show.   As a heads up, this was recorded a few years ago so we might make some outdated references.  In any case, please do let us know what you think of the show.  Hit me up via email at JFerguson@HorrorTalk.com or on Twitter @JamesFerguson.  Steve can be found on Twitter as @AlienRedrum and of course, you can reach us both as @HorrorTalk on Twitter.   SUBSCRIBE: RSS | iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

This week I had a chance to speak with Joseph Oliveira, the writer of Ghost Island, currently on Kickstarter.  The book has one of the best pitches I’ve heard in years.  It’s Jurassic Park...but with ghosts.  Think about that for a minute.  Joseph is currently crowdfunding the release of the second issue of the series.  I’ve backed the project myself and I encourage you to do the same.   Joseph can be found online through Twitter. Ghost Island can be found online on Twitter and Facebook. Joseph and I connected through Twitter as he was an early listener of Funny Book Splatter.  If you are a horror comics creator and want to chat about your project and the genre in general, please reach out either through email at JFerguson@HorrorTalk.com or through Twitter @JamesFerguson.   In other news, I’m super excited that the next episode of Raging Nerdon is the milestone collector’s edition #50.  It’s been a helluva ride and we have some fun in store for this big episode, including a special giveaway including comics, graphic novels, pins, prints, and more.  You’ll have to listen to the episode to hear a secret word to enter to win.  Check it out at RagingNerdon.com or whereever you get your podcasts. Also, I want to give a quick plug to my editor Steve Pattee.  He’s been putting together an incredible deals newsletter through HorrorTalk including movies, books, comics, and more.  It’s not just horror either.  You can sign up here.

It should come as no surprise to listeners of Funny Book Splatter that I love indie comics just as much, if not more than the books coming out of the larger publishers.  Between platforms like Kickstarter and Patreon, there are a lot of ways for creators to get their comics out into the world.  This week I spoke with a creative team publishing digitally through ComiXology Submit with The House.  Writer Phillip Sevy and artist Drew Zucker have created one of the scariest comics I’ve read in recent memory and each issue has really upped the ante.  The House follows a group of Allied Soldiers in World War II who find shelter in an ancient and creepy house during a snowstorm only to find that the building is trying to kill them.  It’s great atmospheric horror that really builds up over time.   I have a tone that I aim for with every episode of Funny Book Splatter and this conversation with Phillip and Drew is exactly what I’m looking for.  It’s a fun chat with two guys that love the horror genre and are making some excellent horror comics.  The first four issues of The House are currently available on ComiXology.   Phillip can be found online on Twitter.  Drew can be found online on Twitter and Instagram. I want to give a quick shoutout to Mr. Roberts who gave Funny Book Splatter its first review on iTunes.  It was five stars and very much appreciated.  As a reminder, reviews and ratings on iTunes help the show tremendously so please be like Mr. Roberts and help spread the word.  Thank you again.   SUBSCRIBE: RSS | iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher Music by Eric Matyas (www.soundimage.org)

This week’s guest is Jon Parrish, the writer of Clusterf@#k from Alterna Comics.  This was one of my favorite comics of the past few years as it’s an absolute blast.  Clusterf@#k is a supernatural buddy cop book that mixes humor, horror, and action.  As with most guests on Funny Book Splatter, Jon has an interesting journey into the medium.  He did his homework and put it in the effort to create a quality comic.   Jon can be found online at Twitter and his official site. Over on the Raging Nerdon front, episode 48 just dropped, entitled Every Fart is a D&D Game where we review Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2.  We have some exciting plans for the monumental episode 50 including a special giveaway, so be sure to check out the show at RagingNerdon.com.

This week I spoke to Robert Geronimo, creator of the dark fantasy graphic novel, Kingdom of Blood, currently on Kickstarter.  I selfishly used this conversation to learn a bit more about this genre as it's one I'm not that familiar with.  I just don't get it.  After speaking with Robert, I have a newfound appreciation for it and I'm amped to read more from his book.  Be sure to check out his book on Kickstarter. Robert can be found online at his official website and on Instagram.  He also wrote a guest feature for HorrorTalk called Sequential Fear: Horror Graphic Novels You Must Read.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to Joshua Williamson, the writer of Ghosted, Birthright, and Nailbiter, which sadly is coming to an end with issue #30, scheduled for release on March 1st.  I have loved this book since the first issue.  It was my #1 pick for horror comic of the year in 2014 AND 2015, featuring the fictional town of Buckaroo, Oregon, home to some of the world’s deadliest serial killers.  If you haven’t read this book yet, you are in for a treat.

This week’s guest is John Lees, the writer of such terrifying comics as And Then Emily Was Gone, Quilte, Oxymoron: The Loveliest Nightmare, and Sink.  Those last two were on my top horror comics lists for 2015 and 2016 respectively.  Sink is in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign and it’s definitely something you should check out.  It is an incredible comic jam-packed with scares.
