I'm late to the game (as usual) but I read this and it's friggin' delight (as usual). FOC is today, so make sure to tell your store you would like a copy!
You like two-fisted noir action with P.I.s, femme fatales, and unspeakable evils? You’ll love PERIL OF THE BRUTAL DARK.
Today is your last chance to preorder this gem from @christophcondon.bsky.social and @thatjacobphillips.bsky.social, the team behind the excellent THAT TEXAS BLOOD!

Darren Aronofsky out there proving that AI can turn even the most talented director’s output into garbage.
That lazy, telltale AI panning, over and over again, acting and physicality that just can’t QUITE make it out of the uncanny valley…
It’s just embarrassing.

IN YOUR SKIN is a body horror comic based in Bollywood, emerging from my love-hate relationship with Hindi movies. This is a story I’ve wanted to tell for ages, and I’m excited to do it with an artist whose work I’ve admired for a very long time.
