This October… blood will be spilled in It Demands Sacrifice! Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Philip Gelatt, the principal writer behind Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots, and filmmaker David Yarovesky, the twisted mind behind the superhero horror sensation Brightburn, have joined forces with artist Adam Pollina and colorist Dean White to unleash It Demands Sacrifice.

On a quiet farm, Bronson, the youngest and smallest member of a close-knit family of goats, lives an idyllic life of sun-drenched fields, fresh hay, and sibling rivalries. His greatest concern is proving to his older siblings—and, more importantly, his imposing father—that he is more than just the runt of the herd.

Then, in a single night, everything changes.

A drug-fueled, sex-obsessed satanic hippie murder cult descends on the farm, slaughtering the family who raised and protected the goats before abducting Bronson and his loved ones. Deep in the wilderness, beneath a blood-red moon, hundreds of cult followers gather for an ancient ritual. Their purpose: to sacrifice the goats and summon a ravenous demon from beyond.

Now, the fate of his family rests on the shoulders of the one creature least prepared to save them.

Innocent, outmatched, and absurdly cute, Bronson must summon a courage he never knew he possessed as he confronts knife-wielding cultists, unspeakable horrors, and forces far beyond his understanding in a desperate attempt to rescue his family before they are offered up in blood.

It Demands Sacrifice #1 features covers by Skottie Young, Tony Fleecs, Patrick Horvath, Mark Buckingham, Brett Bean, and more, and arrives in stores on October 7.

Bad Idea reveals Skottie Young’s twisted It Demands Sacrifice #1 cover

This October, Bad Idea is going to Hell…and Skottie Young is going with them. The publisher has revealed Young’s twisted new cover for It Demands Sacrifice #1, the new horror series from Philip Gelatt, David Yarovesky, artist Adam Pollina, and colorist Dean White.

It Demands Sacrifice begins with a simple nightmare: a family of goats is abducted by a drug-fueled, sex-obsessed satanic hippie cult. But this isn’t your average goat sacrifice. Hundreds of cultists have gathered for a blood-soaked ritual designed to summon something far worse, and the only thing standing between them and Hell on Earth is Bronson, the littlest goat of the family.

Now, Skottie Young brings his unmistakable brand of cute, deranged, and deeply wrong to the ritual with a cover worthy of the sacrifice.

Take your first look at Skottie Young’s It Demands Sacrifice #1 cover below.

It Demands Sacrifice #1 arrives this October from Bad Idea.

Petrograd

(W) Philip Gelatt (A) Tyler Crook, Douglas Sherwood. With introduction from Dr. David R. Stone.

The year is 1916. The fate of millions of people hangs in the balance, and in Russia’s capital city of Petrograd, corruption rules the day and conspiracy rules the night. But to British intelligence officer Cleary, the Petrograd post is all about relationships and carousing. He drinks and parties with the rich and powerful; he flirts and cavorts with workers and countrymen. His life is all late, drunken nights, bleary-eyed mornings, and the occasional report back to London.

However, the city is like a tinder box ready to be set ablaze, and there are dark clouds on the horizon for Cleary. Rumors circulate that the tsarina’s most trusted advisor is counseling the tsar to make peace with Germany. Cleary, to his horror, is tasked with ending the influence of that advisor. A man famous for his acts of debauchery; for his heresy and his power: Grigori Rasputin. And so, the stage is set for one of the most infamous and strangest assassinations of all time, and a world that would never be the same.

Acclaimed writer and director Philip Gelatt (Europa Report, They Remain) and renowned artist Tyler Crook (B.P.R.D., Harrow County)’s debut comic is back in print, featuring a new cover and introduction from established historian David R. Stone.

During the height of the first World War, a reluctant British spy stationed in the heart of the Russian empire is handed the most difficult assignment of his career: orchestrate the death of the mad monk, the Tsarina’s most trusted adviser and the surrogate ruler of the nation. From the slums of the working class into the opulent houses of the super rich, he’ll have to negotiate dangerous ties with the secret police, navigate the halls of power, and come to terms with own revolutionary leanings, all while simply trying to survive.
