The Feeding teases a twisted mystery

Eisner and GLAAD Award-nominated writer David M. Booher and fan-favorite artist Drew Zucker, the team behind hit fantasy comic book series Canto, are teaming up again for the new horror one-shot comic book The Feeding from Syzygy Publishing and Image Comics.

And still, that past has caught up with him in the form of a twisted painting called The Feeding…that eats people. And it’s hungry. Can Nolan stop this demon or will he be devoured like so many others before him? Readers will go on a surreal journey into one man’s bloody psyche…to a place and time when art is dangerous and no one is safe. Booher and Zucker are joined by Vittorio Astone on colors and Andworld Design on letters to bring this terrifying tale to life.

The Feeding will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, October 23 (FOC is today):

SDCC 2024: Wrestler Paul London teams with Geekscape for a new fantasy comic series

Fresh from exhibiting at San Diego Comic Con, pop culture podcast network and media company Geekscape enters the comic book ring with their upcoming crowdfunding campaign for Paul London: Hero of the Prophecy #1, the first issue in a brand new fantasy comic book series!

Inspired by real-life professional wrestler, Paul LondonPaul London: Hero of the Prophecy #1 is a 26-page pro-wrestling/sword and sorcery story written by Jonathan London and based on an idea by Jonathan and his brother Paul. The comic features art by Marcelo Sanchez with colors by Vittorio Astone and lettering by Micah Myers. It is produced by Geekscape’s Georg Kallert.

The story revolves around washed-up, real-life pro wrestler Paul London who, at the lowest point in his life, is magically transported across the universe to a distant planet of sword and sorcery. Once there, he is mistaken to be the Hero of The Prophecy, destined to free a kingdom from the rule of Ramzaar, an evil sorcerer. Ultimately, Paul must learn to use his pro-wrestling skills and false bravado to not only survive the strange, magical world and its ferocious inhabitants but also Ramzaar’s dark forces. Along the way, he befriends an owl-like wizard and a beautiful, sword-wielding warrior, all in the hopes of becoming a true hero.

The fan-favorite fantasy comic series from Eisner- and GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer David M. Booher and beloved artist Drew Zucker resumes with the launch of new mini-series, Canto: A Place Like Home. Readers can continue the story of the tiny clockwork hero Canto as the showdown with the Shrouded Man nears its climax. Featuring longtime Canto colorist Vittorio Astone and letterer Andworld Design, the miniseries will present collectors with a main cover by Zucker, as well as a star-studded selection of variant covers by artists including Lisa Heidhoff, David Mack, and series writer David M. Booher.

Canto, the tiny clockwork knight, returns after making the ultimate choice to save his people. Allies have gathered to stand against the Shrouded Man in all-out war, but even an army may not be enough to stop this conquering sorcerer’s evil from taking over everything Canto holds dear. New Arcana is a home worth fighting for, it may not be easy but nothing ever is for the brave Canto!

Prepare for battle when Canto: A Place Like Home #1 (of 6) squares up at your local comic shop on June 5, 2024 for $3.99. Pre-order today.

Continue the quest for love, freedom, and hope with Canto volumes 3 and 4

New hardcover editions from Dark Horse Comics reprinting the beloved Canto series will continue with Canto Volume 3: Tales of The Unnamed World and Canto Volume 4: Lionhearted. For volume 3, series co-creators David M. Booher, Drew Zucker, and colorist Vittorio Astone, are joined by Sebastián Píriz, Liana Kangas, Jorge Corona, and Shawn Daley, with letters by Andworld Design, for a swashbuckling chapter of Canto’s “striking modern fairy tale.” Continue the series, and prepare for much more to come when Canto Volumes 3 and 4 come to stores in 2024.

And what better allies could one ask for than the fearsome Giants? But to earn their allegiance, he’ll need to solve the Labyrinth outside their city and slay the monster that lurks at its heart! Then, Canto and his friends must cross a bridge guarded by a mysterious bard. The price to pass? A story never heard in all the world!

Then, in Canto Volume 4: Lionhearted, after making the ultimate sacrifice, Canto bears a weapon that could defeat the Shrouded Man and free all the inhabitants of the Unnamed World. He races to find the hidden settlement of his former slavers to enlist them as allies in the coming war. That is, if the Shrouded Man doesn’t find them first.
