And inevitably, as they do, your thoughts meander along the lines of, “I’d really like to read a revenge-based graphic novel with a seriously badass antihero, set in a semi-apocalyptic medieval world, but with steampunk engines. Oh, and dinosaurs. Mounted ones. Ooh—and swords that fire shotgun shells, and evil Sauron-like forces and maybe slightly-less-evil but we’re not quite sure yet necromancers who help the anti-hero get his revenge even after he bites it!” (11/13)

With scripting by Fali Ruiz-Davila, art by Tomas Aira and lettering by Gonzalo Duarte (and assistant edited by none other than our very own Paul Baumeister!), Wild Souls is a new kind of werewolf tale: presented from the perspective of the lycans themselves, we’re engaged with an Alaskan Inuit spin on the mythology, rather than the standard European take.

In pre-wheel Pangea, vampyrus has differentiated from sapiens—to the impending destruction of both. Rampant hunting and overindulgence of the predator has resulted in scarce population of the prey (the herd). A growing plague of the Crumbling, essentially, vampiric starvation, has taken root in the lower castes of vamp-kind, and rationing has begun. Tribal leaders have asserted strict limits and boundaries on hunting, and poachers are dealt with publicly and violently. But is it enough?
