THE "FLESH AND BLOOD" HORROR GRAPHIC NOVEL GETS RAVE REVIEWS FROM AICN, USA TODAY AND TOP FILM/COMIC BOOK CREATORS!
(Los Angeles, CA) The internet's biggest geek site, AIN'T IT COOL NEWS, with the largest hits online daily from around the world and America's most read newspaper, USA TODAY, give Monsterverse's FLESH AND BLOOD horror graphic novel RAVE reviews!
AICN says: Monsterverse is at it again. First they dazzle with an anthology which gave a deep low hug to all things classical horror with BELA LUGOSI’S TALES FROM THE GRAVE, and now they offer classic horror fans another treat with FLESH & BLOOD #1. Anyone familiar with Hammer films should put this book on your “Must buy and devour list.” Read the full review at:

USA TODAY adds: "It's scary stuff, the pace is breakneck, the writing smart and the result is something you've never seen before in comic books - a vampire tale told with genuine suspense, intelligence and cinema-like edits. We look forward to the rest of the saga, but for now, Flesh and Blood: Book One, should keep you up late wishing for the Hammer-film-that-never-was long after Halloween." More at:
FLESH AND BLOOD is ..."TERRIFIC!"
-John Landis (director of ANIMAL HOUSE, AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, MICHAEL JACKSON'S THRILLER)
FLESH AND BLOOD is..."A top-notch package from cover to cover loaded with unexpected surprises along the way, which unfortunately seems almost a lost art in the genre. Great gothic fun in the tradition of the best of the Hammer films."
-- John Cassaday (The world's top selling comic artist on PLANETARY and ASTONISHING X-MEN along with achieving DGA Director for DOLLHOUSE under writer/director Joss Whedon of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and THE AVENGERS)
Billy Bob Thornton proudly displays his advance copy of the FLESH AND BLOOD: BOOK ONE horror graphic novel and BASIL GOGOS ARTIST book (from Vanguard Press) as he smiles along with Monsterverse publisher Kerry Gammill and FLESH AND BLOOD author Robert Tinnell. Tinnell and the Monsterverse crew spent time recently with Thornton during the filming of his documentary on how horror influenced pop culture and society at large.
"Though aspects of it will feel familiar to Hammer Fans, this is a totally independent story that may borrow from the Hammer mythology and imagery but then develops into something completely unique. If you like classic horror stories with a modern twist, then this is for you. I have rarely ever seen a comic where every single panel is a little masterpiece that I wouldn't mind have hanging on my walls. The imagery is glamorous, voluptuous, moody, atmospheric, haunting and drenched in Bava-esque colours. Truly magnificent."
-- Holger Haase, HAMMER AND BEYOND
