Prentice Penny of Insecure has signed on to executive produce and develop HBO’s The Untamed, an epic fantasy tale based on the culturally diverse Asunda line of comic books created by Sebastian A. Jones and published by Stranger Comics. Penny and Jones will co-write the pilot.
The world of Asunda was inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth epics and Greek mythology but with its blend of sword-and-sorcery imagery it also feel like a near-neighbor to Westeros, the realm that’s home to HBO’s Game of Thrones and its now-ramping prequel series.
Asunda was introduced by Jones through his tiny independent imprint, Stranger Comics (with help along the way from Kickstarter campaigns), as a “shared universe” saga that was chronicled across individual series like Niobe, Dusu, Erathune and Essessa, each named for a character or locale in the war-battered world of magic and medieval intrigue.

Exclusive: HBO has put in development Asunda, a drama series rooted in the namesake fantasy universe created by Sebastian A. Jones.
Co-written and executive produced by Jones, Asunda is set in the culturally rich but war-torn world of Asunda, where an orphan girl is born of two nations and raised in a small desert town. Hunted by all, she will search for her ancestors and the courage to bind them against an ancient enemy.
Mimi Ditrani also executive produces.
Asunda is inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth epics and Greek mythology and is similar in its settings to Westeros, the world in which the HBO hit series Game of Thrones is placed. It is published by Jones’ independent imprint, Stranger Comics, with Kickstarter campaigns helping along the way.

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror" gets a modern spin in Idw Publishing's reworking of the classic tale of cosmic horror. At the same time, this comic book also introduces new readers to this authors work in a series of essays broken up into chapters. Each comic features a one-page summary of who Lovecraft was, the importance of his works, and the influence he had across generations of fans.
With this comic, it reveals a tale set in the 21st century. A mysterious figure by the name of Jason has witnessed the unfathomable.

In a smorgasbord of supernatural awesomeness, premiere comics publisher Idw is offering three #1 ways to jump into the horror comic book world this week, each bearing its own distinctive style and brand of spooks…
Monocyte #1
Panels? What panels? menton3 and Kasra Ghanbari’s Monocyte #1 revokes comic tradition and pans its way across the page like a dystopian children’s picture book—art, art, and more art all around, accompanied by relatively short (if convoluted) spots of language.
This language, if scattered, effectively establishes its futuristic world in a dichotomy of immortals—the ‘olignostics’ and the ‘antedeluvians’. In fact, I’d say that the most fascinating bits of the whole book are the two pages of history outlining the historical rise of both species. Since the current story takes place at the pinnacle of their long war (the ‘monocyte’ character, or ‘one-eyed’, is introduced as a kind of bony, alien messiah...

I chose H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror #1 to review just because I'm a fan of Lovecraft. I was quite happy to find that Joe R. Lansdale had written the script for the first story in this comic. I've met him several times since he lives in the same small Texas town as I do. Both the stories were entertaining and as dark as you would expect from a Lovecraftian piece.
The first story, the self titled The Dunwich Horror is obviously just the beginning to a great horror story. The first few pages contain no dialogue but are there to set the mood.
