Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips are Back in the Saddle this September with That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch

Posted on by Leave a comment

Bestselling neo-noir Western That Texas Blood by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips will ride again in the upcoming That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch. This all-new, six-issue chapter in the beloved ongoing series will kick off in September from Image Comics.

This highly anticipated story arc will also feature exciting variant covers by Martin Simmonds, Luana Vecchio, Mark Chiarello, and more.

In That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch, Sheriff Joe Bob Coates and Deputy Wilson Hart are called to the Allison Ranch—the largest and richest ranch in the United States—where family grievances are blooming into full-blown war. This first issue will be loaded with bonus materials including behind the scenes peeks, newly conducted interviews, essays, and cartoons.

In celebration of this highly anticipated return to shelves, Image Comics will present a special Facsimile edition of the series’ debut issue printed on deluxe newsprint paper for the ultimate reading experience. Longtime fans and new readers alike can revisit the premiere that started it all and remains the perfect read for fans of Yellowstone.

Like Paris, Texas gut-punched by No Country for Old Men, That Texas Blood is a crime series that kicked off with the search for a casserole dish and led readers to a dark and tense confrontation on Sheriff Joe Bob Coates’ 70th birthday. The series is currently being developed by FX for a drama series from Jim Mickle (director, showrunner, and writer of Netflix’s Sweet Tooth) and E.L. Katz (co-executive producer and producing director on Netflix’s The Haunting of Bly Manor).

The Enfield Gang Massacre, a sister series to That Texas Blood, is set 150 years in the past and features even more gunslinging action and dark frontier drama.

That Texas Blood: Hell Comes to Allison Ranch #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 23.

Exclusive Preview: Open Caskets, an anthology built around a support group for people who don’t fit anywhere

Posted on by Leave a comment

Open Caskets is a darkly comic horror anthology, published by Half A World Away Press, set inside a support group for people who don’t fit anywhere else. A counselor gathers a room of misfits and walks them through their own strange, often devastating histories — part group therapy, part confessional, complete with absurd self-help puppet videos. Each member’s story stands alone, but they interlock into one larger portrait of life on the margins. The humor is bleak, the feeling underneath it is real, and the artwork is heavy, hand-built black-and-white ink. Readers who go for Jeff Lemire or Roman Dirge will know the territory.

Out June 30, Open Caskets is written by Shaun Simon, co-written and illustrated by Neil Sabatino, with additional contributions from Jack Simon. You can get it on Kindle, softcover and hardcover on Amazon, and free to read on GlobalComix.

Open Caskets started as a one story collaboration, 8 pages about a lonely window washer called Half A World Away. Shaun and I had started talking about artwork and comics in the last 5 years just as he was wrapping up on Paranoid Gardens for Dark Horse and had asked if I would be interested in drawing a pin up. After the initial story was finished Shaun had a couple more ideas for short stories and so did I. By the end we had 8 stories and one day Shaun asked if I’d like to do a comic strip about an absurd puppet TV show. We soon after decided what if we connected all the stories into one book where our characters attend a support group for their flaws and we use the puppet TV show as a teachable lesson for them. It sort of all blossomed piece by piece very organically”

Doomquest #2

(W) Ryan North (A) Francesco Mobili

DOOM IS UNSINKABLE! Doctor Doom has been sent back in time — without his armor, and without any technology, but with the only thing he’s ever needed: his MIND. Unfortunately, the date he’s been sent to is April 15th, 1912. The place he’s been sent to is the North Atlantic. And the name of the ship he now finds himself on is the RMS Titanic. But Doom will not allow himself to be caught, and Doom will not allow himself to be destroyed. He rails against fate, determined to rewrite history — no matter what it costs him or anyone else. And now Doctor Doom faces his greatest challenge yet — and he refuses to go down with the ship.
