David López and I made a thing! If you’re new to comics or comics-curious and want to pick up FML (or anything else), maybe this will help.
I’ll put it up on the FML site along with mail order resources later today.
Comic-book creators Matt Wagner (Grendel, Mage) and Kelley Jones (Batman: Red Rain, The Sandman) have teamed up to flesh out some of the bloody backstory of horror's most iconic vampire with Dracula: Book II – The Brides – and Fangoria has got an exclusive excerpt for you to sink your fangs into today. Check the link for more!
This second volume follows the huge success of Dracula: Book I – The Impaler, which filled in some of the mysterious gaps of Dracula's backstory that aren't included in Bram Stoker's seminal 1897 novel.
Wagner and Jones are once joined for 120 pages of sinister and sexy story (almost 30 pages longer than Book I!) by the stellar talents of José Villarrubia on colors and lettering by Rob Leigh.

If you’re willing to visit Loving, Ohio, you’ll likely come away changed." DIS/MEMBER dives into the new graphic novel, Loving, Ohio, with writer Matthew Erman:

Dark Horse Direct celebrates the 25th anniversary of Eric Powell’s The Goon with an exclusive The Goon 25th Anniversary Statue! Now available for pre-order: https://www.darkhorsedirect.com/produ...
Goon’s brutish charm and determination are captured in exquisite detail from the realistic water on the dock to the menacing zombies lurking from the water below. With a wrench in one hand and a zombie head in the other, Goon is cleaning up his town and he means business–let’s just hope that Fishy Pete doesn’t catch him out on his docks. But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what other fine citizens had to say:
“How can you do a statue of Goon without me?” - Franky
“Finally, the Goon will be mine!” - The Zombie Priest
“You’re going to need this statue one day.” - Momma Norton
“No, but really. You couldn’t even squeeze me behind Goon?” - Franky, again
“What do you mean only two per customer? I’ve got eight arms!” - Spider
Standing at 11 inches tall on a 10-inch wide base, this epic statue is a must-have for your Eric Powell collection! Plus a bunch of extra goodies to get your mitts on including a convention exclusive The Goon Enamel Pin, a digital code for The Goon Volume 1: A Ragged Return To Lonely Street from Dark Horse Digital, AND a hand-numbered certificate of authenticity signed by Eric Powell himself! Available only through Dark Horse Direct - darkhorsedirect.com.
