Simon Birks from Blue Fox Comics returns this week in Episode #721, and he’s talking about his upcoming Top Cow/Image comic called The Thing on The Doorstep!
Award-winning writer Simon Birks (ANTARCTICA, Sinners, Gone, The Shadow Over Innsmouth) and artist Willi Roberts are telling this chilling tale based on H.P. Lovecraft’s terrifying story that takes readers deep into a haunting mystery of friendship, madness, and the horrifying unknown. The series is described this way: “Daniel Upton and Edward Derby have been best friends almost their entire lives, right up to the point Daniel shoots Edward dead in the Arkham Sanitorium – a crime Daniel swears he didn’t commit, despite all the evidence. What happened on that fateful day in Arkham? What is the truth behind this seemingly mindless act of violence? Witness the beginning of this doomed relationship and Edward’s slow descent into a horrifying world beyond his control.” We talk about how this comic series came to be, who the various characters are, and what we can expect from these high-power creators in the coming months! Don’t miss this excellent discussion about this five-issue mini-series running from February to June in 2026, then collected in July 2026.
