BLOOD

Vampires, fishmen, supersonic monkeys – they are all normal residents living alongside humans in Hellsalem’s Lot, formerly known as New York City. When a gate between Earth and the Beyond popped up there three years ago, old NYC became dominated by monsters and now Libra, a secret organization, is tasked with keeping it in order. However, for main character Leonardo Watch, he is no one special, just a hobbyist photographer. However, when he obtains the All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods, he finds himself recruited into Libra. Sharing the same creator as Trigun, Blood Blockade Battlefront isn’t so much the spiritual successor that fans hoped it would be, but a good show in its own right. It is filled with crazy, cool characters all wrapped in a distinctive style blanket, so if you are looking for some similar anime recommendations, then look no further.

From Hypnotic Tales to Peculia, Maniac Killer Strikes Again to Violenzia, few cartoonists have established a deeper catalog of original works, and none have delved into the creepy crawlies as consistently and insistently as Sala. His latest book is The Bloody Cardinal, arriving in stores this week from Fantagraphics Books. In this all-new graphic novel, a series of occult investigators, collectors, and survivors throw themselves into a back-stabbing, bloody quest to obtain the last journal of the deranged cult leader known as The Bloody Cardinal.

CBR: Richard, let’s talk inspirations. The Bloody Car
