Monster Monday: King Dracula #1 and #2

Here are the covers and summaries for King Dracula #1 and #2 from Zenescope Entertainment:

"Beneath the streets of New York, the notorious Lord of Vampires plots to regain his rightful place atop his kingdom. But much has changed during his absence...the Vampire Lords, a ruthless cabal of powerful elders, have staked their claim upon the world, and they have no fear of their former leader–or anyone else. As Dracula begins to claw his way back to the top, he finds an ally in the mysterious and deadly Blood Countess. But will she prove to be friend or foe?"

"Reinvigorated but still hunted, Dracula emerges from the sewers of New York City, ready to take back the world that was so ruthlessly stolen from him. But he realizes the Vampire Lords’ control has grown even deeper into the roots of society in his absence, and new dangers lurk at every turn. But desperate times call for desperate measures, so he seeks an unlikely ally who despises him more than any other...his daughter!"

Countdown to Halloween 2025 Day 15: Grimm Fairy Tales: 2025 Halloween Pinup Special

Zenescope Entertainment celebrated the spooky season by releasing Grimm Fairy Tales: 2025 Halloween Pinup Special last week. I'm posting about it today as this week's Women Wednesday post. The main story is "Dracula: King of Hell" and full of blood and destruction. There are several pinups of the female characters from Zenescope dressed in different costumes.

There are various alternative covers with Cover A featuring Gretal as a witch. Cover B features Cinderalla wearing a devil costume and Cover C features Liesel Van Helsing as a demonic steampunk vampire.

Superhero Saturday: Killer Kobra: The Hunt Begins

When I first saw the cover for Killer Kobra: The Hunt Begins #1, I thought DC Comics was rebooting their super villainous Kobra group. Instead, Zenoscope Entertainment is introducing a new "shadowy vigilante that strikes with the fury of a thousand venoms." Basically, he's a monster hunter that uses the cobra school of kung fu.

The issue actually starts with a group of college students hiking in the Ozarks during their Spring Break. They are attacked and killed by a Bigfoot. The issue then switches to Philadepia (yes, that's how they spell it), where Killer Kobra out of costume is sparring with a talking mongoose named Chopstick. He looks at a photo of his parents before getting a call about the Bigfoot attack. The action shifts to a mysterious man ordering a mysterious woman agent to bring in or eliminate Kobra and Chopstick. We switch back to the hero and his animal sidekick who finds trouble in a roadhouse in the Ozarks. He easily wins the fight with his mastery of Cobra Kung Fu but is chased off by the bar owner with a rifle. The pair make their way to the campsite but is attacked by the Bigfoot. Killer Kobra, now in full costume, does his fancy martial arts moves against the huge creature, who retreats. He and Chopsticks chases the monster in the woods in a comical chase scene before the issue literally ends on a cliffhanger.

This was a pretty good first issue and I love the running gag with Chopsticks being mistaken for a ferret. I highly recommend reading Killer Kobra: The Hunt Begins #1 if you like a little humor with your martial arts superhero.

Grimm Fairy Tales 20th Anniversary Pinup Special

Zenescope Entertainment released the Grimm Fairy Tales 20th Anniversary Pinup Special earlier this week. Having a sexy Tinkerbelle on the cover is a stroke of genius since Spring started this week. Along with several pinups of your favorite women from various fairy tales, there is also a never before published short story that is a prelude to Grimm Fairy Tales: Once Upon the End of Time.

One of my favorite pinups features Snow White having her white panties exposed. You won't be seeing that in the live action movie that was released in theaters yesterday.

You also won't be seeing this version of the Wicked Witch in the Wicked movie:

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 23: Grimm Fairy Tales 2024 Halloween Special

Grimm Fairy Tales 2024 Halloween Special actually came out last Wednesday from Zenescope Entertainment but I decided to share it for this week's Women Wednesday post. The story's title is "Cinderella's Monster Mash" and for good reason. She meets Yertle the hunchback, Count Roberto Yeh the vampire, a vampire bride, Friday Barnes the ghost girl, Lily the mad scientist, a manbat monster, talking piranhas, a mummy, a werewolf and his four werewolf pups, and a bunch of ghosts (one that looks a lot like Wolverine). There is even a musical scene along with a homage to Scooby and the gang. This issue is full of puns and gags, but the artwork is good especially the page with Cinderella wearing her new black outfit.

Countdown to Christman 2023 Day 14: Grimm Universe Presents Quarterly: 2023 Holiday Special Covers

If you think that Christmas should be just full of cheery women and jolly men, then you might want to skip Grimm Universe Presents Quarterly: 2023 Holiday Special from Zenescope Entertainment. The cover alone shows a buxom blonde sitting on a demon's knee in the office. The horror tale is about the boss giving three very special gifts to his employees. The first gift is a car while the second gift is a watch. The third and final gift is a fur coat. There is a final twist in which the boss gets a special gift from his boss.

There are also two other covers featuring women that I wouldn't mind having. I'm sure they are both on Santa's naughty list.

Women Wednesday: Grimm Fairy Tales: 2021 Swimsuit Special

The Grimm Fairy Tales: 2021 Swimsuit Special is now out from Zenescope Entertainment. There are six different covers but I only found Cover A by Michael Dooney and Ula Mos. The first dozen pages features a new adventure featuring Gretel, who battles a witch at a seaside amusement park. The rest of the issue is filled with pin ups of the Zenescope women in mostly bikinis. One of my favorites is the Gretel pin up by Renato Rei and Sanju Nivangune.

Countdown to Halloween 2020 Day 1: Grimm Tales of Terror Quarterly: Hellfire

Welcome to day 1 of Countdown to Halloween 2020 at Moongem Comics. This year we kick off the spook fest with Cover A of Grimm Tales of Terror Quarterly: Hellfire from Zenescope Entertainment.

"For centuries the Order of the Secret Circle has lurked in the shadows, reinventing itself for each new generation and going by many names; the Order of the Temple of the East, the Order of Knights and The Hellfire Club, it seeks to bend the nine demons of hell to its will. In 1912, Aleister Crowley took control of Hellfire and attempted to bring the Great Beast under his control. While ultimately failing, the ripples from that dark spell echo to the present, calling forth a new congregation who seek to reform Hellfire and tap into the evil power it promises."

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 27: Robyn Hood Cosplaying as Elvira

This artwork featuring Robyn Hood cosplaying as Elvira is cover C for Grimm Fairy Tales 2019 Halloween Pinup Special from Zenescope Entertainment. There are four different covers in all and you can view them here.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 18: Grimm Tales of Terror 2019 Halloween Special

Join Keres, the goddess of death, as she presents three terror-filled stories in Grimm Tales of Terror 2019 Halloween Special from Zenescope Entertainment. There is a total of five covers and this is cover A, which features a busty grim reaper sitting on a scarecrow's arm. The other covers include a giant scorpion, a busty Red Riding Hood, a redheaded succubus and a gothic cheerleader. The stories and art are both great. You might still find it on the shelf of your local comic book shop.

Countdown to Halloween 2015 Day 9: Zombies vs Cheerleaders 2015 Halloween Special

If you dislike a little t&a and comedy with your horror, then you will want to skip over this post. I got my hands on a copy of Zenescope Entertainment's Zombies vs Cheerleaders 2015 Halloweeen Special. There are four different covers and mine had cover D featuring a cheerleader showing her panties in mid jump with tons of zombies:

Most of the stories are one pagers with the women either completely nude (the naughty bits are covered up to give it a PG-13 rating):

Or they are wearing their cheerleader uniforms:

There are a few longer stories but I think the one pagers are more fun. There is also a lot of gory zombie horror too but in a cartoony way. The humor reminds me a lot of Syfy's Z Nation so you might like this if you enjoy that.

Women Wednesday: Sela Mathers Suiting Up

The following artwork features Sela Mathers suiting up for the 1c cover to Realm Knights #1 from Zenescope Entertainment:
The four issue mini-series will team up such characters as Robyn Hood, Van Helsing, Red Riding Hood and Sela Mathers. This needs to a poster ;)

Women Wednesday: Robyn Hood

Grimm Fairy Tales Presents: Robyn Hood #1 from Zenescope Entertainment will feature three different covers when it hits the streets in September. The one below if from Eric Basaldus aka Ebas, who also does the interior artwork: I really need to start reading the Grimm Fairy Tales comics.
