New York Times-bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones (The Only Good Indians, My Heart Is a Chainsaw) and Joshua Viola are bringing their slasher comic series True Believers to a star-studded conclusion.
True Believers #3 – Slashfest boasts an appearance by Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, You’re Next), and we have an exclusive look at Matthew Therrien‘s variant cover featuring the horror icon below.
The third and final issue features art by Ben Matsuya, letters by Jeremiah Lambert, a main cover by Matsuya and Lambert, and four variant covers from Therrien.
It also also includes cameos from Re-Animator star Jeffrey Combs, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, shock rockers Gwar, Trivium frontman Matthew Heafy, and electronic musician Klayton of Celldweller.
True Believers #3 pits convention goers against another masked menace who takes their devotion to the cult slasher franchise Killr far too seriously. But is this just a cosplayer, or someone from the past with deadlier intentions?
True to its bloody roots, the finale promises outrageous kills, tongue-in-cheek gags, meta Easter eggs, and enough gore to satisfy even the most die-hard horror fan.
“Thanks to Slash for sitting on that stool and bringing this closing installment of True Believers home,” comments Jones. “When you have a stable narrator, the story can be operatic and bloody, funny and scary, have chimpanzees and mannequins, heroism and evil: everything you might want from the last in a slasher trilogy.”
“The third and final issue of True Believers is finally here and I couldn’t be more pumped,” adds Viola. “This series has been a wild ride from day one and I can’t wait for fans to see how it all goes down. It’s louder, bloodier and funnier than ever, but still true to the twisted idea that kicked this whole thing off. Welcome to Slashfest!”
Previous issues of True Believers have featured appearances from the horror royalty Jamie Lee Curtis, Goosebumps author R.L. Stine, Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick and star Devon Sawa, and characters from the horror-comedy Deathgasm.
Releasing on October 13, True Believers #3 – Slashfest is up for pre-order from Bit Bot Media.
