JULY 18, 2025 (PORTLAND, OR) — Get ready for a gonzo splatterfest packed with cults, corpses, and consequences…
Mad Cave Studios is proud to announce GUNPOWDER PROPHETS, a full-throttle supernatural grindhouse horror series in five blood-soaked issues—written by Justin Jordan (The Strange Talent of Luther Strode), illustrated by Patrick Piazzalunga (Monsters Are My Business), with colors by Roman Stevens (Batman Begins) and letters by award-winning Taylor Esposito, featuring a variant cover by Jorge Corona (Batgirls, Middlewest).
Huck and Marley help people for money. Well, in theory anyway… For some reason, their “help” always seems to involve massive amounts of property damage, a somehow guaranteed collision with the supernatural, and if Marley has his way, a huge body count. They’re the Gunpowder Prophets, and a simple job rescuing a girl from a backwoods cult turns weird when the super groovy leader’s supernatural powers turn out to be very, very real. It’s seventies-style horror mixed with grindhouse action in Gunpowder Prophets.
Writer Justin Jordan said, “It’s seventies exploitation cinema meets Fulci-style horror with a healthy dose of buddy comedy. Huck wants to get paid. Marley wants to kill. Neither of them is ready for what’s coming.”
“It was a blast collaborating with Justin on this—we brainstormed the story together from the ground up, and now it’s finally real,” said Patrick Piazzalunga. “If you’re into grindhouse crime and ‘70s horror vibes, this one’s got your name on it: biker zombies, high-octane chases, a no-bullshit sheriff, brutal splatter, and more. Huck and Marley are ready for you. Just… don’t tick Marley off.”
It’s gonzo-style over-the-top action horror and the wildest B-movie horror you’ve ever seen at midnight. If you like Evil Dead II, Cemetery Man, Odd Thomas, or just want to watch a couple of morally flexible guys fight literal monsters with guns and grit, don’t miss Gunpowder Prophets!
Gunpowder Prophets #1 hits shelves October 1, 2025. Preorder it at your local comic shop from Mad Cave—and remember: always get paid up front.
