Hey, folks! If you only follow me on Substack, you haven’t heard from me in a while I bet. That’s because I moved my primary newsletter, NIGHTMARE FUEL, over to another platform. If you are not getting those messages on a (roughly) weekly basis, I hope you’ll consider signing up.
That said, I’ve decided that it is kind of pointless for me to let Substack sit here and go to waste. So, I' am re-branding the Substack as CULLEN BUNN’S SPINNER RACK OF DOOM! Herein, I’ll discuss my latest releases in comics, prose, and gaming.
I hope you’ll dig it and join in the conversation!
I have a few new books this week.
First up is a pretty big one for me.
BEYOND MORTAL comes out today! It is a big ol’ graphic novel that introduces a brand new superhero/horror universe through which I plan on telling a TON of stories.
Cullen Bunn (Harrow County) and Danny Luckert (Shock Shop) present an original graphic novel where the heroes of a new comic book universe will collide with a new pantheon of alien deities from beyond our understanding of reality.
Comic book readers are familiar with the world of Bronze and Modern Era comics… stories of gleaming steel metropolises populated by daring superheroes battling for truth and justice… facing down power-mad masterminds and would-be world conquerors.
But unknown to the league of heroes who protect the innocent, this world has a cancer growing at its heart. A pantheon of elder gods is starting to awaken. These timeless forces of super-nature once claimed dominion over a primordial Earth… and they have returned to reclaim what is theirs.
Super-powered heroes — and villains — find themselves struggling against unimaginable horror to save the planet. It is a hopeless battle.
The unstoppable force of the Leviathan will collide with the immovable object of the world's most powerful superheroes in an unflinching tale of ultimate horror and ultimate sacrifice.
If THAT’S not enough to get you hitting up your favorite bookseller, we’ve got a few more enticements for you!
First, Danny and I released a trio of short online-exclusive comics!
First up—JUMPSCARE, a character who will be appearing in future BEYOND MORTAL comics!
Then—THE MURK, another character who will be showing up in his own BEYOND MORTAL comics in the near future!
And—DEVIL X, starring in a short story that serves as a lead-in to the graphic novel!
And…AND… we have some preview pages from the graphic novel itself!
Next up in today’s releases—GODZILLA VS. THE MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS II #4!
With the help of some of the greatest giant monsters in history, the Kaiju Power Rangers are born! New powers! New weapons! New Zords! The next evolution of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers—and the next mutation of Godzilla’s friends and foes—is upon us! And if you miss this book, you’re missing history in the making!
Check out that cover! Godzilla wearing the Dragon Zord like armor! It’s something I’ve wanted to do since the first GODZILLA VS. THE MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS comic series! And that’s just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the crossover dynamism you’re gonna get in this book!
This one actually came out last week, but I thought I’d add it to the rack this week.
DEADPOOL ROLE-PLAYS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE
The first comic-sized, one-shot adventure for the MARVEL MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME is here! Play as Deadpool and his team — or use your own characters — in a fourth-wall breaking adventure right out of Marvel’s comics! Includes a comic story lead-in by Cullen Bunn (DEADPOOL KILLS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE), an RPG adventure and new character profiles!
This is my first foray into writing role-playing adventures. Well, I’ve been writing RPG adventures for years, but this is the first publication. It’s getting great reviews. I think it is an absolute blast, whether you play the MULTIVERSE ROLE-PLAYING GAME or not!
For giggles, I thought I would grab a random comic from the ever-changing assortment of comics on the spinner rack in the corner of my office. This time around, you get…
I loved Obnoxio when he was hosting CRAZY magazine. I even incorporated my own version of the clown (though I don’t remember his name anymore) into the newsletter I published for my dad’s photography studio—THE HERITAGE STUDIOS NEWS. I dug this foul-mouthed, cigar-chomping clown so much I even added him to the cast of my DEADPOOL: BACK IN BLACK SERIES.
In this issue, Professor X hires Obnoxio (the host of Kitty Pryde’s favorite magazine, CRAZY) to appear at Kitty’s birthday party. This, of course, is on the same day an evil mutant (Eye Scream, who can turn into any flavor of ice cream) attacks the mansion. Confusion and hijinks ensue!
Thanks for coming along with me on this fantastic voyage! Pick up a few of these books. I think you’ll dig them! And if you want to subscribe to NIGHTMARE FUEL, you can do so HERE.
Happy to subscribe to both, though it is nice to be able to leave the occasional comment here! It's a venue for me to say things like, "I just stumbled across the unaired pilot for the 'The Sixth Gun' series, and that was a lot of fun! Makes me hope more of your work will be adapted in the future."
Nice to see you back here.
