Do you like adult/teen oriented comics that's colorful and psychedelic, yet still delivers some gore? Get out your divining rod and something that plays tunes and check out Witchblood!
With people obsessing over Dracula, there's a new modern take of the vampire lore I wish people would talk about.
Witchblood is a comic book series created by and Matthew Erman and Lisa Serle. When I first made this post in August 2021, there were four issues out so far as of August 2021. Now all 10 chapters are out and you can get the full graphic novel at your local store. It seems to be super popular with some running out when I was collecting individual issues.
I would say the vibe the story gives off is Demon Slayer at times, but something more familiar to Americans. Such as the wild west, vampires, and witchcraft. The art is amazing here are some of my favorite panels:
Basic Summary: There are three main groups in the story: witches (who have been blessed with magic from Esme the original witch), vampires, and witch hunters (who seek to find witches due to them destroying human communities). Yonna is a witch wandering the South West with her crow familiar. She unfortunately meets the Hounds of Love a group of vampires lead by the charismatic Paxton. Paxton has found that in drinking a witch's blood you gain her powers and seeks to find the original witch. Yonna must find the other witches before the Hounds get to them, but she finds out she can't do it alone.
And there are so many collectible covers made by famous artist Yoshiyoshitani.
The first two images in this post is from my own copy of the novel while the last panel is a digital pre-print version which I received from Matthew Erman.

Loving, Ohio is written by Matthew Erman and drawn by me. It's coming out August 2024 and can be pre-ordered now!
This is one of those comics I'm so proud of drawing. It's a departure from my usual stuff, and I'm really excited for folks to read it.
Oh ya, a fun fact is I did all the lettering/design (not including like pre-press stuff) which was so fun...especially chapter titles and some of the more esoteric bits you'll find in the comic. I love purposefully ugly design and this checks off that box IMO. I remember describing to Matthew that I wanted the design bits to look like a poorly typeset pamphlet you'd get from some new age religion/cult and then I went all in.

Witchblood Connecting Covers #1-5
I had wanted to try drawing connecting cover for a long time, and I was thankful that Vault finally let me try it out with WitchBlood Matthew Erman (Writer), Lisa Sterle (Artist, Cover Artist), Gab Contreras (Colorist), Andworld Design (Letterer)
Trying to have each cover be stand alone, but also have a nice payoff when complete is tricky, but so much fun to do!
Covers are some of my favorite things to draw, I hope to do more cover work in the future!
I still have a few signed copies from this series in my store

Book Recommendations: More Fantasy Graphic Novels
Bright World by Stan Stanley
The Hazards of Love follows the story of a queer teen from Queens who makes some mistakes, gets dragged into a fantastical place, and tries to hustle their way back home.
Amparo's deal with the talking cat was simple: a drop of blood and Amparo's name to become a better person. Their mother and abuela would never worry about them again, and they'd finally be worthy of dating straight-A student Iolanthe. But when the cat steals their body, becoming the better person they were promised, Amparo's spirit is imprisoned in a land of terrifying, flesh-hungry creatures known as Bright World.
With cruel and manipulative masters and a society that feeds on memories, Amparo must use their cleverness to escape, without turning into a monster like the rest. On "the other side," Iolanthe begins to suspect the new Amparo has a secret, and after the cat in disguise vanishes, she's left searching for answers with a no-nonsense medium from the lesbian mafia and the only person who might know the truth about Bright World.
This is the first volume in “The Hazards of Love” series.
Long Lost by Matthew Erman
Long Lost is the story of two estranged sisters who find themselves drawn back to their small southern hometown after an invitation from an otherworldly creature. The pair is compelled to unlock the disturbing mysteries that are hidden in Hazel Patch in the hopes of uncovering the bizarre circumstances surrounding their mother… but they must deal with each other first.
This is the first volume of the “Long Lost” series.
Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe
Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love - witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of mythology’s most well-known stories from creator Rachel Smythe. Featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story, Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated web-comic Lore Olympus brings the Greek Pantheon into the modern age with this sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
This is the first volume of the “Lore Olympus” series.
Here There Be Gerblins by Clint McElroy
Welcome to the Adventure Zone!
SEE! The illustrated exploits of three lovable dummies set loose in a classic fantasy adventure!
READ! Their journey from small-time bodyguards to world-class artifact hunters!
MARVEL! At the sheer metafictional chutzpah of a graphic novel based on a story created in a podcast where three dudes and their dad play a tabletop role playing game in real time!
Join Taako the elf wizard, Merle the dwarf cleric, and Magnus the human warrior for an adventure they are poorly equipped to handle AT BEST, guided ("guided") by their snarky DM, in a graphic novel that, like the smash-hit podcast it's based on, will tickle your funny bone, tug your heartstrings, and probably pants you if you give it half a chance.
This is the first volume in "The Adventure Zone Graphic Novels” series.
