You’ll Do Bad Things #1
"Bloody, gripping, and oozing with style. This is horror comics at its best." - James Tynion IV
Tyler Boss is going to have an incredible year. Between the filming of 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank, being announced as a writer on the comic event of the year, Exquisite Corpses, and now the release of his next original series, You’ll Do Bad Things, you can tell he’s been hard at work.
If you were at Comics Pro last week, chances are you talked to someone on our team or heard James wax poetic about our first Artist In Residence book, You’ll Do Bad Things by Tyler Boss and Adriano Turtulici. “This book will show you why we believe Tyler Boss and Adriano Turtulici are going to be some of the biggest names in comics.” And it’s true - I strongly believe YDBT will be a cornerstone of what will be remembered as an incredible era of Image titles.
“This is a DANGEROUSLY scary comic. With delightfully-twisted dialogue from storyteller extraordinaire Tyler Boss and shocking visuals by newcomer Adriano Turtulici straight out of a 1970s slasher flick, You'll Do Bad Things has all the makings of a true crime fan's instant new favorite!”
—Scott Snyder (Absolute Batman, Wytches)
MINISERIES PREMIERE
It’s been ten years since the release of He Came in With a Smile, the true crime smash hit that chronicled the brutal murders committed by the Nursery Rhyme Killer. But in the decade since its release, its author Seth Holms hasn’t produced another title. He wants to write a story with a happy ending, but every time his fingers clack across the keyboard, it always ends in his character's death. Worse yet? These tales of blood and barbarity that flow so freely from Seth’s mind are starting to happen in real life.
Turn the page on this giallo-inspired thriller from multi-hyphenate TYLER BOSS (WHAT'S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE?) and breakout talent ADRIANO TURTULICI!
The Final Order Cut Off date for issue #1 is this Monday. Call your local shop and tell them to add it to your pull.
“You'll Do Bad Things has all the notes of your favorite Italian horror flicks with guts and gore galore but still provides a wholly original and surprising story that makes me FIEND for the next issue. Read it!”
—Marcus Parks (Co-host of The Last Podcast on the Left, No Dogs In Space)
You'll Do Bad Things #1 Advance Review: Life Imitates Art in Horrifying Fashion
“Some readers will already recognize the name of cartoonist Tyler Boss. After reading the first two issues of You’ll Do Bad Things, I’m confident many more will very soon. Boss is one of the most distinctive cartoonists working in direct market comics today…[In YDBT], Boss reveals that this mastery translates to collaboration with other artists in an unforgettable issue drawn by Adriano Turtulici. Together they’re crafting a twisty murder mystery bound to tie readers into anxious knots in ways that only comics can.” —Comic Book Resources
“...we really enjoyed the first two issues of You’ll Do Bad Things (‘YDBT’ for short) and part of our affection comes from just how authentic the story feels to the Giallo films we know and love.” —Macabre Daily
"A stylish, smart, cool as hell murder mystery that is so much more. Frontrunner for comic of the year."
—Matthew Rosenberg (DC vs. Vampires, We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us)
“…a must-read comic for anyone who loves slashers, color, or has faced a blank Word document with a blinking cursor, as I have so many times before, including this review. The creative team of Tyler Boss, Adriano Turtulici, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou delivers one of the best looking and best written slasher comics that has ever hit shelves. The masterful craftsmanship of each page turn brings you deeper and deeper into a neon pastel, horrific tale.” —Gate Crashers
4 Kids Walk Into A Bank co-creator Tyler Boss returns for a true crime thriller about a serial killer and a writer that'd make Stephen King jealous —Popverse
“Fans of Giallo horror, this one’s for you.” —Fangoria
“You'll Do Bad Things is one hell of a ride. The lovechild of Dario Argento and John Carpenter, this comic will transport you to the gritty underbelly of NYC with stunning art from Adriano Turtulici and lettering from Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Tyler Boss crafts a masterful story, making this bloody romp unputdownable. You won't be disappointed!”
