Indie publisher Summit Comics is set to debut Testaments of Terror this summer: "Evoking inspiration from the anthology aspect of select Pre-Code horror titles, each issue of Testaments of Terror will feature a regular-sized one-shot and at least one separate backup story." Written by Adam Barnhardt and drawn by David Hutajulu, Testaments of Terror #1 will release Bloodwake: Breaking the Abyss in early July. "Underwater royalty, Bloodwake is a character exiled from his homeland, resulting in a summer camp slasher the sea creature finds himself in the midst of."
Paying homage to our favorite monster cereals, we have an exclusive look at the variant covers, and you can help decide the name of the cereal! Do you prefer "Bloody Berry" or "Wakey Wafers"? Look at the covers below and then you have two options for voting:
More from Adam Barnhardt and David Hutajulu on the upcoming story:
“Thalassophobia is arguably my biggest phobia, and although I didn’t happen to write this in the middle of a lake or the ocean, writing Bloodwake has stoked more than enough panic attacks for my psyche,” Barnhardt said of the title.
“I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of superheroes and gore,” Hutajulu added. “With Bloodwake I got the chance to explore something that I always wanted to do before. Readers can expect a bloody, high-octane ride that stays with them long after they close the book.”
Testaments of Terror #2 will be released late summer with a story titled Harrow: Feast in the Furrow, written by Barnhardt with art by Michel Abstracto: "A scarecrow possessed by the spirit of an early Midwestern settler, Feast in the Furrow evokes the stickiness of humid late summer days through a sweaty murder mystery the eponymous anti-hero finds himself embroiled in. The lead suspect? A murder of crows who’ve seemingly managed to form a human body and force it to do their bidding."
