⢠The gang at Newsarama was hit with a trio of images from “The Theater,” a new horror from Zenoscope created by Raven Gregory. Unfortunately, the artwork is all that site has received. Click on the Newsarama link provided for a third pic. The blond seated in an audience of corpses looks like an image ripped from Dave Parker’s The Hills Run Red promo.
⢠John Carpenter is providing an intro to “Dreams of Darkchylde” volume 1 arriving July 5 from Image. The trade paperback collects “DoD” issues one through six. Why is Carpenter doing a forward? Because he’s adapting the comic for the big screen.
⢠IDW takes “Ghostbuster” monthly beginning in September. Erik Burnham is writing while Dan Schoenin provides art.

If the answer is yes, call the professionals! Psychokinetic energy is on the rise again, business is booming for the boys, and Ray is troubled by what could be a prophetic dream⦠Is this an ill omen of an upcoming apocalypse, or just a little indigestion?
⢠Here’s a look at the cover for “Godzilla” #7.
So much for good old-fashioned American ingenuity! After the historic fail of Detroit’s latest “hybrid,” the world searches for something â anything â else to pin its hopes on. Hey, speaking of hybrid… What do you get when you cross a dragon with a couple of other dragons? Uh-huh.
