San Diego Comic-Con is nearly here! Next week, I'll be moderating two horror comic book panels you won't want to miss! It's always an honor to moderate panels at Comic-Con, diving into the art of horror storytelling with a diverse group of creators. And, of course, I always love connecting with Daily Dead readers, so if you're attending SDCC, I hope to see you there!
First up is:
Comixology: Your Horror Fix

AHOY's Toxic Mess Summer has been raging since April, when the trade paperback of The Toxic Avenger revival landed in stores, followed by The Toxic Avenger Pinup Special in May, the launch of the Toxie Team-Up in June, and now the start of a new ongoing series in July: The Toxic Avenger Comics. It's all leading up to the action-packed Toxic Crusaders beat 'em up videogame landing from Retroware in Q3, the Toxic Avenger film starring Peter Dinklage landing in theatres on Labor Day Weekend, and a new Toxic Crusaders series . . . and that's just the beginning!"
