White Boat #2 has reveals but feels a bit too much like Jurassic Park meets The Island of Dr. Moreau

Posted on by

White Boats are the mega-yachts that the super-rich use to traverse the globe-floating islands where your every desire can be fulfilled. And getting invited on board one should be a dream come true…that is until the crew traps and transports you to a remote island where secret cults have existed for millennia, working on something called “The Human Project.” Does the White Boat ship you to paradise or sink you into hell on earth?

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by
Karate Prom

Wednesdays (and Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

A Business Proposal Vol. 5 (Yen Press/IZE Press) – We’re a sucker for this rom-com.

Archie Comics: Judgement Day #1 (Archie) – When Archie changes up their formula, it’s usually a winner.

Barkham Asylum (DC Comics) – The title alone puts a smile on our face and DC has a good track record when it comes to graphic novels for kids.

Blood Hunt #2 (Marvel) – The first issue of this event far exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to see what comes next and who gets turned.

The Butcher’s Boy #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – A true Lovecraftian horror? Or just the feverish dreams of a mentally unstable serial killer. Six friends on a road trip are about to find out…

Cobra Commander #5 (Skybound) – The newly launched “Energon Universe” has breathed new life into Transformers and G.I. Joe and we’ve been sucked in to see how Cobra has come about. We’re excited to see this series wrapping up and what comes next.

Conan the Barbarian #11 (Titan Comics) – The series has been fantastic with every issue. The best sword and sorcery on the comic shelf right now.

Fall of the House of X #5 (Marvel) – The event overall has been ho-hum but we want to see how it wraps up and leads to the new start in July.

Karate Prom (First Second) – We loved it. Check out our review.

Local Man #10 (Image Comics) – This series’ praise and award nominations is well deserved.

Oshi No Ko Vol. 6 (Yen Press) – The series has been an interesting inside look at celebrity as well as a murder mystery.

The Talk (Henry Holt) – Darrin Bell examines how “the talk” has shaped nearly every moment of his life into adulthood and fatherhood.

Ultimate Black Panther #4 (Marvel) – We have no idea what it was at the end of the issue, but we’re excited to find out!

Void Rivals #9 (Skybound) – Another series in Skybound’s “Energon Universe,” Springer from the Transformers is in this and we’re intrigued as to how that piece of puzzle works.

White Boat #1 (DSTLRY) – Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla are a must buy, especially when together.

Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla’s White Boat receives New Vinyl Soundtrack from Noel Heroux

Posted on by

DSTLRY has announced an addition to the White Boat universe. This Summer, the chilling series crafted by Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla will be enhanced by an atmospheric soundtrack from Noel Heroux, the New York-based indie rock powerhouse behind Hooray for Earth and Mass Gothic. 

The first outing of this sprawling accompaniment sets sail in a premium 7-inch vinyl, signed by Heroux, Snyder, and Francavilla available via your local comic shop. This 7-inch release marks a first-of-its-kind venture for DSTLRY, blending the immersive worlds of comics and music.

Crafting an “oceanic noise terror soundtrack,” Heroux’s work captures the essence of White Boat, providing fans with a multi-sensory experience that elevates the tale’s Lovecraftian maritime horror. The soundtrack, debuting first in a premium 7-inch vinyl format, offers a unique collectible for fans. Each limited-edition vinyl is signed by Heroux, Snyder, and Francavilla, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Debuting this May, White Boat revolves around a titular mega-yacht that the super-rich use to traverse the globe—floating islands where your every desire can be fulfilled. And getting invited on board should be a dream come true…that is until the crew traps and transports you to a remote island where secret cults have existed for millennia, working on something called “The Human Project.” Does the White Boat ship you to paradise or sink you into hell on earth?

White Boat reunites Scott Snyder with Francesco Francavilla for a white-knuckle descent into Lovecraftian maritime madness. DSTLRY Founding Editor and frequent Snyder collaborator Will Dennis joins as editor. Noel Heroux brings his musical expertise to the White Boat project. 

Fans are encouraged to contact their local comic shops to secure their copy of the 7-inch White Boat Vinyl, signed by the creative trio behind this innovative project. This release not only celebrates the launch of the White Boat comic series but also marks a significant moment in the fusion of comic book storytelling and musical exploration. Issue #1 of White Boat hits stores this May with the 7-inch releasing in June.
