Finally — more Witch Doctor coming soon!

January 9th, 2009

Yes, that’s right. Lukas and I are hard at work on not one or two, but three new Witch Doctor stories that’ll debut this spring!

The plan is pretty much the same as last year — release the stories for free online, and debut a print edition at Stumptown Comics Fest here in Portland in April. But this time around, we’re doing a set of three eight-page stories focusing on different elements of the Witch Doctor universe, and showcasing different story tones we plan to use it future stories — from action/comedy to suspense to existential horror! We’ll release the stories online as we go, and publish them as a 22-page comic called New Strains.

In the next couple weeks, you’re going to see a lot more from us — but more details on New Strains and the release date of the first story, but also lots more concept art and long-delayed looks at our revised cast! So you should totally keep checking back.

  • About Witch Doctor

    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.

  • Testimonials

      "Nice.” — Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, The Authority, Black Summer)

      "One guy I'm real excited about is Lukas Ketner... [Witch Doctor is] a great book, and they [Seifert and Ketner] have a lot of talent.” - Scott Allie, Dark Horse Senior Mangaging Editor

      "There should be more horror comics like Witch Doctor. It's got the gross outs, and the cool characters, but it has ideas, too. It's a horror comic where they got a good artist and then thought, 'Oh man, what if we got a good writer too?' And that puts them a big leg up." - Joey Comeau, A Softer World

      "I was instantly reminded of a childhood spent reading classic horror comics like Creepy and Eerie... [Seifert and Ketner's] real-world medical/zoological approach is really intriguing!" — Vampire bat biologist Bill Schutt (Dark Banquet: Blood and the Curious Lives of Blood-Feeding Creatures)

      "Witch Doctor is brilliant! A prescription for what's ailing comics today -- a dose of good storytelling." - Jimmie Robinson, creator of Bomb Queen

      "EC art crossed with Buffy-funny writing. I feel better already! Thanks, Doc!" - Lea Hernandez, Killer Princesses and Rumble Girls

      "The kind of comics we need more of... If you're not reading Witch Doctor, I have no recourse but to seriously question your taste in comics." - Rantz Hoseley, creator of Vix!, Displaced Petsons and editor of Comic Book Tattoo

      "The comic book I'm most looking forward to this year... Lukas Ketner's art is fantastic and Brandon Seifert's writing is fucking brilliant. I can't wait to see where they go with this book." - Mark Sweeney, colorist of Warren Ellis' Black Summer
