(W) Alex Link  (A) Riley Rossmo

Inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead, artist extraordinaire, RILEY ROSSMO (DEBRIS, GREEN WAKE, COWBOY NINJA VIKING, REBEL BLOOD) joins forces with nine different writers over three issues to tell tall tales from beyond the grave!
This issue's writers are ALEX LINK (REBEL BLOOD), CHRISTOPHER LONG (X-Men Unlimited, Hiding In Time, Easy Way) and DIRK MANNING (NIGHTMARE WORLD, Write or Wrong). Future issues will feature stories by ED BRISSON (COMEBACK), ALEX GRECIAN (PROOF), JOE KEATINGE (HELL YEAH), JEFF MARRIOTTE (FADE TO BLACK), KURTIS WIEBE (PETER PANZERFAUST) and JOSHUA WILLIAMSON (XENOHOLICS).
In this issue: A mariachi falls in love with a woman who strongly resembles his lost love, a father is abused by a poltergeist, and a girl who's mother died when she was born visits the land of the dead in her dreams.

ZANADU RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 10/31/12

BEDLAM #1

(W) Nick Spencer  (A) Riley Rossmo

Fillmore Press was once Madder Red, a homicidal maniac and criminal overlord who terrorized the town of Bedlam for years. Then he got better. This is what happens next. A double-sized introduction to a blood-soaked cityscape of murder, mayhem, and mystery by NICK SPENCER (MORNING GLORIES, THIEF OF THIEVES) and RILEY ROSSMO (REBEL BLOOD, GREEN WAKE)!

Can people truly change who they once were or are we forced to merely play the hand we are dealt? This is the question asked by Spencer and Rossmo's new macabre murder mystery, Bedlam. Dropping just in time for Halloween, this first issue is filled cover to cover with mayhem, violence and a blood soaked descent into the very depths of madness. While I may not be the biggest fan of Spencer, I love Rossmo's gritty, ink stained art and his ability to translate the most horrific of scenes into psychotic masterpieces. RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!
