It's a sick world.
Literally -- the universe is an organism, and the creatures of myth and folklore are invading parasites, preying on the native species and disrupting the ordered systems of the world.
It's a sick world, and Dr. Vincent Morrow's here to treat it. Headhunted into an exciting new career in the black arts after his excommunication from the medical community, Morrow serves the world with both hands -- one in magic, one in medicine -- as earth's protector. Earth's Witch Doctor.
Witch Doctor: First Incision is a 16-page medical horror comic introducing the Witch Doctor universe, written by Brandon Seifert and illustrated by Lukas Ketner.
Each issue of Witch Doctor will be accompanied by a streaming soundtrack posted here!

I hope this isn’t the end.

Very nice work, guys! I’d love to explore what’s on Witch Doctor’s shelf, I can imagine there being a 1,001 stories contained therein. Plus, any occult comic with the word “fuck” is right up my alley. Can’t wait to see more!

Thanks Corey! This is not the end. This is, (in fact), the beginning!
Evan, I’d love to explore what’s on Morrow’s shelves too. (As well as all the stuff in the first Witch Doctor pin-up.) Even I don’t know what all that stuff it; that part was all Lukas. (And I promise there will be more profanity.)

Yay!
I didn’t want to read this until I could give it my full attention, and I finally had time to relax and enjoy it.!
I love it! It’s humorous and I love the fact that vampires are caused by a parasite.
It’s such a clever idea
You both did an excellent job.

Just terrific. Writing and art. Just a couple of things I loved: the surgical mask going up before the fight and how the Doctor’s “vision” looked less like an X-ray and more like a medical text illustration. You guys are keyed into one my favorite things: horror and reality side by side. Of course you don’t kill it, there is so much to learn, but of course that leaves the door open for it to… escape, kill again, spawn, make long distance calls, leave the seat up… brilliant.
