From Undead MONSTER to DETECTIVE?! | George Northy & Caitlin Yarsky
What happens when Frankenstein's creature becomes the world's most unusual detective? Writer George Northy and artist Caitlin Yarsky join The Comic Source to discuss *Prometheus Graft: The Slayings at Death's End*, a new gothic murder mystery from Oni Press. Set decades after Mary Shelley's classic novel, the series follows Frankenstein's creature as he investigates mysterious deaths at a Romanian castle where vampires, werewolves, and witches have gathered to negotiate peace. With supernatural tensions rising, Prometheus Graft must uncover the killer before the fragile alliance collapses. Northy and Yarsky explore their approach to the story, including Graft's iconic character design, the origins of his cane, the unusual relationship between the detective and a ghoul named Ramsey, and the challenge of assembling a distinctive cast of suspects. They also discuss combining horror, comedy, fantasy, and traditional detective fiction, as well as their hopes to revisit Graft in additional mysteries. **Prometheus Graft: The Slayings at Death's End #1** arrives December 9, 2026, from Oni Press. The Final Order Cutoff is November 2, 2026. **Additional information:** Oni Press announcement: https://www.onipress.com/news/a-monstrous-new-detective-is-born-in-prometheus-graft-the-slayings-at-deaths-end-1-beginning-in-december Publisher catalog: https://prhcomics.com/book/?isbn=64985600915900111 Follow The Comic Source on all social media with our Linktree - https://linktr.ee/thecomicsource

DC Spotlight October 21, 2026: Absolute Green Arrow's Big Reveal, Absolute Flash's Dark Atom & Firestorm's Mystery
Jace and Rocky are back for an enormous DC Spotlight covering 17 comics for the week of October 21, 2026. The discussion includes major developments across the Absolute Universe, the continuing Bad Seeds crossover, new directions for familiar DC heroes and a particularly competitive race for Book of the Week. Absolute Flash #20 begins Jeff Lemire's new arc by exploring Ray Palmer's obsession with the mysterious Omega Particle and his uneasy partnership with Wally West, while teasing the arrival of Absolute Cyborg. Jace praises the complexity of Ray's characterization and Haining's artwork, while Rocky appreciates the darker interpretation of the Atom and the growing mysteries surrounding his experiments. Detective Comics #1114 continues the Bad Seeds crossover as Batman enlists Mr. Freeze and Nora Freeze to prevent a catastrophic botanical disaster in Gotham. Jace praises Clayton Henry's outstanding artwork but remains frustrated by the crossover interrupting Tom Taylor's larger story, while Rocky appreciates Nora's unexpected moment of compassion and the race to stop Gotham's destruction. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #56 continues Mark Waid's story of Ra's al Ghul and Poison Ivy threatening humanity, bringing Superman into conflict with Ra's and introducing Mirror Master as an unexpected solution to their scheme. Jace appreciates the return to Ra's original environmental motivations and Adrian Gutiérrez's artwork, while Rocky enjoys the classic characterization and the creative use of familiar DC villains. End of Life #9 continues Kyle Starks and Steve Pugh's darkly comedic adventures of Eddie Stallion, featuring the reunion of Littlecock and Bigcock, Eddie's disastrous attempt to explain himself to his former girlfriend and new complications involving his father. Jace praises the series' ability to make its deeply flawed protagonist increasingly sympathetic, while Rocky celebrates Starks' skill at making outrageous situations feel surprisingly believable. Lobo #8 advances Skottie Young's Last Death of Lobo storyline as the Main Man faces an enemy who has apparently discovered how to prevent his regeneration. Jace remains unconvinced by the series despite some curiosity about its central mystery, while Rocky enjoys the absurd history of the failed Mauve Corps and considers this the most interesting issue of the run so far. New Titans #40 continues Tate Brombal's sprawling story involving Yara Flor, the Esquecida, the Green Team and an increasingly crowded Titans roster. Jace strongly criticizes the characterization of Nightwing and Cyborg and questions Jon Kent's presence on the team, while Rocky appreciates the mythology surrounding Yara Flor but agrees that too many characters and competing plotlines are undermining the series. Deathstroke the Terminator #8 reveals the identity of the mysterious Justice League member secretly assisting Slade Wilson, while Adeline Kane attempts to establish herself as the new Deathstroke and an unexpected discovery creates a startling cliffhanger. Jace enjoys Tony Fleecs' increasingly unpredictable story but questions some character decisions, while Rocky enthusiastically embraces the surprising direction and the issue's escalating mysteries. Wonder Woman #38 continues Tom King's Wonder War as Nubia confronts the Matriarch and the Sovereign returns alongside several familiar Wonder Woman enemies. Jace praises Daniel Sampere's artwork but feels the storyline is losing momentum, while Rocky questions the motivations behind the villains' alliance and the repeated setbacks imposed on Diana, with both expressing frustration over the arc's pacing. Superman Unlimited #18 gives Jon Kent a renewed sense of purpose as he considers helping his Earth-3 counterpart, with Dan Slott exploring the consequences of Jon's past experiences with Ultraman. Jace praises Lucas Meyer's emotional artwork and the family relationships at the heart of the story, while Rocky is pleasantly surprised by a direction that makes the adult Jon Kent more compelling to him than he has been in years. Dark Knights of Steel II #4 brings Prince Bruce Wayne back into the conflict just as Amanda Waller appears poised to claim power, while Jason Todd's betrayal creates dangerous consequences for Barbara Gordon. Jace continues to enjoy Tom Taylor's alternate-universe storytelling and Otto Schmidt's artwork, while Rocky appreciates the intrigue and character relationships even as the week's strong competition keeps the issue outside his top selections. Nightwing #143 concludes the Good Old Days two-part Bad Seeds tie-in, emphasizing the relationship between Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne amid the crossover's escalating crisis. Jace appreciates Dan Watters' character work but feels David Lapham's

CRYSTAL LAKE's Danielle Kotch on Jason's Origin & Friday the 13th's Dark Past
Danielle Kotch joins Jace on The Comic Source to discuss CRYSTAL LAKE, Peacock's new Friday the 13th prequel series, and the surprising new depth given to Claudette, one of the original film's most important but often overlooked characters. Claudette and Barry were the first victims in the original Friday the 13th, but their connection to Jason Voorhees' tragic past gives the new series an opportunity to explore the characters in a completely different way. Danielle discusses bringing Claudette to life, exploring the guilt and consequences surrounding Jason's drowning, and discovering how much more there was to the character than she originally expected. We also discuss her audition with showrunner Brad Caleb Kane, working alongside Phoenix Parnevik and Linda Cardellini, filming at the original Friday the 13th location in New Jersey, and recreating the atmosphere of the 1970s. Danielle also talks about discovering the Friday the 13th films, her appreciation for practical effects and horror filmmaking, and what longtime fans might think about the series expanding Jason's origin. CRYSTAL LAKE stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees and is created by Brad Caleb Kane for Peacock and A24. All eight episodes are now streaming on Peacock. This interview avoids major plot spoilers for the new series, although it discusses events established in the original Friday the 13th film.

DC Spotlight October 14, 2026 Nice House's Stunning Finale, Supergirl's Big Twist and Green Lantern's New Love Entity
In this episode we discuss; DC Spotlight October 14, 2026 Nice House's Stunning Finale, Supergirl's Big Twist & Green Lantern's New Love Entity The Comic Source Check Out The Episode on YouTube Jace and Rocky break down all 12 DC releases for the week of October 14, 2026. 100 Bullets: The U.S. of Anger #4 shows some improvement as its four separate storylines begin to offer more compelling material, but Jace and Rocky continue to struggle with Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso's confusing narrative, finding that the black-and-white presentation makes an already difficult story even harder to follow despite their appreciation for the striking cover artwork. Batman and Robin: Year One — Dynamic Duo #3 continues Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's exploration of Batman and Robin's early partnership, with Jace praising the timeless artwork and compelling pacing while Rocky appreciates Dick Grayson's undercover confrontation with the Wolfpack, Catwoman's discovery of the Batcave and the way the series builds upon classic Batman continuity. Barbara Gordon: Breakout #6 leaves Jace increasingly frustrated with Mariko Tamaki's confusing storytelling and his inability to connect with familiar characters, while Rocky considers it the strongest issue so far thanks to the return of Savant and Creote and an intriguing appearance by Two-Face that may connect to the criminal justice system explored in Christian Ward's earlier miniseries. Green Lantern Corps #21 impresses Jace with Morgan Hampton's continued expansion of Green Lantern mythology, particularly the revelation that Predator has undergone the Cleanse, surrendered his immortality and opened the door for a new entity of love, while Rocky appreciates the ambition but questions whether the rules governing the emotional entities are becoming unnecessarily restrictive. Supergirl #18 delivers an abundance of story developments and classic DC world-building, with Jace particularly delighted by Sophie Campbell's detailed cross-section of the Fortress of Solidarity while Rocky celebrates the return of Matrix Supergirl and the dramatic implications of Kara losing her powers to Gold Kryptonite. Teen Titans #2 continues Kyle Higgins' story of Jason Todd leading a team of rebellious young heroes, with Jace acknowledging the book's strong sales but finding its manga-influenced artwork and youthful focus less appealing, while Rocky praises the characterization, team dynamics and potential for these unconventional Titans despite questioning Jason's suitability as their leader. Gotham Central #2 gives Jace and Rocky an engaging crime story involving Victor Zsasz, Stephanie Brown, Anarky and Dr. Zeller, with both praising Christopher Cantwell's character work and Jacob Phillips' atmospheric artwork while questioning how much the Bad Seeds crossover elements distract from the grounded Gotham storytelling that makes the series compelling. Doom Patrol #2 represents a substantial improvement over its debut for both hosts, with Jace finding more to appreciate in the character relationships and emerging mysteries despite his continued reservations about the team's deliberately strange direction, while Rocky embraces the stronger plot, Nico Henrichon's artwork and a dangerous rescue mission that finally gives him a reason to invest in the series. Legion of Super-Heroes #2 earns enthusiastic praise from Jace and Rocky as Joshua Williamson and Hayden Sherman reinterpret classic Legion mythology through the murder of R.J. Brande, the mysterious Green Lantern Corporation, the Emerald Empress and the Persuaders, with both appreciating the creative reinvention of familiar characters while Jace reflects on the importance of allowing this new version of the team to develop organically. Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #4 moves the mystery forward by exploring the complicated history of multiple Clayfaces and revealing Todd Russell's involvement, with Jace appreciating the renewed momentum and potential for the series to work as a collected story while Rocky praises the artwork and character emotions but questions some of the narrative explanations surrounding Basil Karlo and Batman's absence. The Nice House by the Sea #12 brings James Tynion IV and Álvaro Martínez Bueno's second cycle to a powerful conclusion, with Jace praising the intricate characterization, remarkable artwork and Nora's carefully calculated decisions while Rocky explores the story's deeper themes of free will, memory, humanity and the godlike responsibilities of Walter and Max. Streets of Gotham #1 presents six short stories by Matt Fraction, Mariko Tamaki and an assortment of artists, but Jace and Rocky question the anthology's necessity as part of Bad Seeds, with Jace cr
