Wildstorm Comics : Horror

[marvelguy]

I'm surprised at the titles that they are printing at Wildstorm.

Nightmare on Elm Street
Friday the 13th
and
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The cover image alone is great. Tim Bradstreet of Punisher fame is doing covers for Texas Chainsaw Massacre. :shock:

Yep saw that! Can't wait. Wonder why Avatar gave up the rights.....

[marvelguy]

Yeah, I wondered that too, you had posted some covers here already on those properties. Must be higher license fees and perecentages, besides doesn't New Line owns these licenses and Dimension Films owns Michael Myers?

[SatansProdigy]

I'm not sure, MG but sounds about right. Hell I don't even know who owns Texas Chainsaw movie rights anymore. All I know is Avatar has a huge amount of this material coming up in the next few months. According to Previews and my wallet! LOL #creep#

Interesting that Wildstorm would take on these books though. The Avatar ones and even before that with Eclipse have always been pretty bloody and gory. I wonder if they're going to try to tone it down? It'll be interesting to see.

Here's the Nightmare on Elm Street pic from Previews:

Looks good, like a scene lifted directly from the movies.

I've got it on my order for Oct. I'm interested in seeing what Wildstorm does with it.
