BOOM! Studios Announces 'The Seasons Have Teeth'



BOOM! Studios is thrilled to announce THE SEASONS HAVE TEETH, a brand new 4-issue horror series from Home Sick Pilots writer Dan Watters, Anthony Bourdain’s Hungry Ghosts artist Sebastián Cabrol, coming to a comic shop near you this April.


In a drab, colorless world, the seasons bring change.


Andrew, a retired conflict photographer, lives a life steeped in regret, pain, and sorrow. When the seasons arrive–each one embodied as powerful god-like creatures–everything for Andrew begins to change. As he risks everything to track down Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, he can’t help but hope that capturing the perfect picture of each will help him find his redemption…and maybe–just maybe–bring color back to his world.


Dan Watters is a writer from London, and the co-creator of titles such as Coffin Bound, Limbo, and Home Sick Pilots at Image Comics. He has also written Sword of Azrael, Arkham City: The Order of the World, and Lucifer at DC Comics, and the Cowboy Bebop series at Titan Comics. You can find him on social media at @danpgwatters. 


“I'm overjoyed to be writing this book for Sebastián,” says series writer, Dan Watters. “From the dark depths of winter to the joys of summer, he brings such wonderful nuance to both human emotion and monsters—and in The Seasons Have Teeth we are bringing you both in abundance.”


Sebastián Cabrol is a comic artist and illustrator from Argentina. He's done work for publishers such as Marvel, Dark Horse, and Wizards of the Coast, among several others. You can find Sebastián on Instagram at @seba_cabrol.


"Dan has created an incredible landscape filled with both mystical and earthly creatures,” series artist Sebastián Cabrol says. “It's a unique take on something so marvelous as the idea of wild and sentient seasons. As an artist I’m having a great time exploring this world."


THE SEASONS HAVE TEETH #1 features a standard cover by artist Qistina Khalidah, and variant covers by Duncan Fegredo (Hellboy), Sebastian Fiumara (Lucifer), and more! 


“The world Dan and Sebastián managed to create is astounding in its ambition. I’ve never seen anything like it before, and I can’t wait for readers to share in the joys and horrors of The Seasons Have Teeth.” said Shantel LaRocque, Editor, BOOM! Studios.

Image Comics "Coffin Bound" #1 Releases August 7th


Image Comics forthcoming ongoing comic book series Coffin Bound by Dan Watters (Sandman Universe: Lucifer) and artist Dani (2000AD, Girl with No Name) with colorist Brad Simpson (JESUSFREAK, MCMLXXV), letterer Aditya Bidikar, and designer Emma Price, set to launch this August. 

Cars! Guns! Entropy! Coffin Bound follows Izzy Tyburn, who is chased by an unstoppable killer and has decided that if the world won’t have her in it, it can have nothing of her at all. She’s re-treading her life, leaving nothing but burned rubber, ash, and the sun-scorched bones of those who get in her way. Ride shotgun on an unforgettable road trip through blood-splattered, grindhouse action best described as Bitch Planet and Mad Max: Fury Road set in the dark, twisted fantasy world of Sandman.  

Coffin Bound #1 hits stores on Wednesday, August 7. 

Coffin Bound #2 hits stores on Wednesday, September 11. 

Select praise for Coffin Bound:  

"It's a gleeful of literary grindhouse comic that brings to mind Milligan's Arthouse Pulp and notes of Pretty Deadly. Out in August. Pre-order now." Kieron Gillen  

"Dani is quite a discovery: the work is very inventive and actually very careful but the line is alive and organic, the ink just spills down and branches into the right places. And the language style Watters launches here is just wonderful. I summon Milch because it's eccentric and neo-antique like his DEADWOOD speech, rippling with character and drunken with its own pleasure... Coffin Bound is a damned joy" 
Warren Ellis  

"A Lynchian crime chase desert noir fever dream with its own messed up internal logic. Fun." Rob Williams  

"An acid drenched road trip, seeping violence and weirdness of the best kind. Definitely one to check out." Ollie Masters  

"Gorgeous and odd and very much its own unique monster. I am jealous at its filthy strangeness." Ivan Brandon  

"A gore-splattered, but poetic road trip with one of the strangest stripper scenes in comics." John Harris Dunning  

"Dreamlike, mythic, relentless and strange." Kurt Busiek  

"Pure Doom. Watters spins a fantastic Kerouac-ian fever dream with Dani dropping some story chops, solid gesture and moody blacks. It's a great hook that will take you Under. Coffin Bound Rules!" Andy Belanger   

"Your lessons of life delivered at the end of a muzzle by a choir of grindhouse philosophers laced with the wisdom of dead birds. I can hardly think of another story so fully infused with Dan Watters and Dani aesthetic." Ram V  

"Coffin Bound is a distillate of madness. A slice of apocalyptic dreamtime cut with engine smoke, acid nihilism and dirty juju. This is some top-class necrofuel, my friends, and you need it in your brain-tank pronto." Si Spurrier  

"Coffin Bound is a comic with a strong pulse that bleeds all over your hands while reading. You should give it a read." Declan Shalvey
