Defending yourself from demons would be a difficult task in itself, but imagine having to protect the entire population of Manhattan... that's a pretty tall order. But in BOOM! Studios' limited comic book series, Thomas Alsop, it's an order that one modern warlock has to fulfill. The seventh issue of Thomas Alsop hits shelves next week and we've been provided with an exclusive set of preview pages.
"WHY WE LOVE IT: Bringing readers great books from new talent has always been close to our hearts here at BOOM! Studios. Chris Miskiewicz and Palle Schmidt have created a warlock for these modern times, and we’re delivering them to the best audience in comics!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT:Fans of John Constantine and Dr. Strange will love this new take on the magic-wielding hero who battles demons on the streets… and in his own mind. Thomas has money and fame, but also the burden of a being this generation’s occult warrior. Can he survive the battles both within and without?
WHAT IT’S ABOUT:Thomas Alsop is the current “Hand of the Island,” a title handed down from generation to generation. He guards Manhattan from evil, using his family’s prowess for magic. Being a thoroughly modern warlock, he deals with something even more evil than demons… reality television!"

Synopsis: "It seems as if all of New York is out to get Thomas. The city folk are not taking the news of the 3,000 well and the O’ are coming to literally murder him. But Thomas has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. He just needs to escape long enough to perform a mass exorcism in the heart of New York City. No big deal, right? RIGHT?"
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
