BE NOT AFRAID #1
Writer: Jude Ellison S. Doyle
Artist: Lisandro Estherren
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: June 04, 2025
Cora Reims lived the isolated life of a simple farm girl until one fateful summer day, prophetic visions brought her a visitor made of pure light... an angel. In the aftermath, Cora gave birth to a child, a Nephilim: the offspring of an angel and a human woman, seemingly imbued with evil itself. 17 years later, that child's cherubic appearance can no longer hide his monstrous nature. Frogs boil in their skins as he passes. Crops rot. The townspeople live in fear, knowing that atrocities follow closely behind him. Now, on the eve of his 18th birthday, Cora receives a new vision... Heaven itself has called upon her to destroy the abomination born of her own flesh and blood.

This week, in Episode 496, Wayne talks with comics legend Bart Sears from Heads Will Roll and Will Allred from Crossover Division!

Everything kicks off with Bart Sears, who has a new book called Heads Will Roll, which you can support at zoop.gg/c/headswillroll! It’s described this way: “Character headshots of the most famous heads in heroic fantasy, drawn by superstar comic artist Bart Sears, collected in a beautiful 144-page comic art book! Each day of this campaign Bart will be drawing a new head, decided on by vote, to be added to the book!” This project will conclude in early August, so be sure to listen to this episode, then support Mr. Sears!

Then it all concludes with my fun interview with Will Allred from Crossover Division #2, which you can support on Kickstarter at this link. Here’s how it is described: “The Brides of Dracula attack as Hank & Hector must end the crossover with Stoker's Dracula or risk gothic horror overrunning the world.” His project is doing well, but be sure to listen and then support him since this project will conclude on Friday, July 30, at 10:00 p.m. EDT. Be sure to support both of these great projects!

MOON KNIGHT #1
Writer: Jed MacKay
Artist: Alessandro Cappuccio
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Release Date: July 21, 2021
Cover Price: $4.99
I AM MOON KNIGHT!
The mysterious Mr. Knight has opened his Midnight Mission, his people petitioning for protection from the weird and horrible. The Moon Knight stalks the rooftops and alleys marked with his crescent moon tag, bringing violence to any who would harm his people. Marc Spector, in whichever guise he dons, is back on the streets, a renegade priest of an unworthy god. But while Khonshu languishes in a prison that Moon Knight put him in, Moon Knight must still observe his duty: protecting those who travel at night.
Let it be known - Moon Knight will keep the faith.
