April 8th, 2011

San Francisco’s WonderCon was last weekend. I’m still trying to put all my pieces back together after the fact, and part of that involves trying to figure out who wrote articles about us at the con.

Lukas and I did a whole bunch of interviews there, including things for SyFy, MTV Geek and G4 Canada, as well as a bunch of podcast and comics site interviews I may or may not even remember (I was AMAZINGLY sleep-deprived during the con, as anyone who tried to talk to me will attest to). Here’s the ones I’ve discovered so far, as well as the other press coverage we’ve gotten recently; I’ll try to update the blog with more as I find them. (Also, if you know of an interview with us or a review of the preview issue, please let us know!)

Here’s some articles and interviews:

A feature story on Witch Doctor from Comic Book Resources
FearNet interviews with me, Lukas and Robert Kirkman about the book
(the Witch Doctor part starts at 1:29)

Recaps of the “Image Comic Show” panel at WonderCon, featuring me and Lukas:

Newsarama

Recaps of Robert Kirkman’s panel at WonderCon, where he called me up on stage to talk about the book (with no advance warning, might I add!):

Comic Book Resources
Comics Continuum

Reviews of Witch Doctor: First Incision 2010, the B&W preview comic we’ve had on sale at cons:

Ain’t It Cool News says “Kirkman has started off his new imprint with a winner”
Forces of Geek calls us “your new favorite comic!”
Why So Blu? says we’ve “brought something truly distinctive to the comic book world”

  • 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 is a medical horror comic written by Brandon Seifert and illustrated by Lukas Ketner, published by Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics.

  • Testimonials

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

    "It's a book so smart I can barely describe it.” — Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible, Marvel Zombies)

    “Brandon Seifert is a creator to watch.  The man has the stuff!!” — Brian Michael Bendis (The Avengers, Ultimate Spider-Man)

    “Basically, I'm jealous. Bastards!” — Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night, Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse)

    "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

    "Witch Doctor is awesome. It's House, M.D. by way of H.P. Lovecraft. Witty, gross, gorgeously drawn and just plain fun." - Brett Warnock, publisher, Top Shelf

    "Any true horror fan should keep their eyes on Seifert and Ketner." - Mike Dringenberg (co-creator of The Sandman)

    "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

    "Lukas Ketner [is] a fast rising star in the world of illustration." - Publishers Weekly's The Beat

    "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)

    "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
