Emmy Award-winning screenwriter Philip Gelatt (LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS), acclaimed filmmaker David Yarovesky (BRIGHTBURN), and visionary artist Adam Pollina (X-FORCE) carve up a shocking new horror comic book event.
On a quiet farm, Bronson, the youngest and smallest member of a close-knit family of goats, lives an idyllic life of sun-drenched fields, fresh hay, and sibling rivalries. His greatest concern is proving to his older siblings—and, more importantly, his imposing father—that he is more than just the runt of the herd.
Then, in a single night, everything changes.

Oct 27, 2026Pollina gets to show another side of his storytelling in A Good Boy, leaning into exaggerated expressions and the visual contrast between cute and horrifying. Mike Spicer’s colors give the backup a livelier, more playful appearance before the story starts revealing its darker intentions. Dave Sharpe’s lettering keeps the dialogue punchy, and the whole creative team understands that the humor works best when nobody stops to explain the joke. I enjoyed the change of pace because it gives the issue some variety without abandoning the animal-horror theme. The main feature wants to crawl under your skin. The backup gives you a little grin before reminding you that something with big eyes and a sweet face might still ruin your entire week. Read Full Review

Leave it to Bad Idea to greenlight "Goats vs. Pagans" and turn it into one of the leanest, most vicious horror debuts of the year.
The Story: Philip Gelatt (Love, Death & Robots) and David Yarovesky (Brightburn) bring sharp cinematic horror instincts here. Instead of horny teenagers stumbling into an Appalachian murder compound, our POV is Bronson, an innocent kid goat whose herd is targeted for a ritual sacrifice. Gelatt and Yarovesky play the emotional stakes completely straight; Bronson isn't talking, and this isn't a cartoonish romp. The terror is immediate, physical, and grounded in raw survival instinct.
The Visuals: Adam Pollina (X-Force) and Dean White (Conan the Barbarian) are firing on all cylinders. Pollina gives Br more+ Like • Comment -
