NYCC 2023: ‘The Feeding’ Limited Edition And Team Signing At Hive Comics Booth
by Brendan M. Allen
The team that brought you Canto has put together a darker tale of a tortured man who’s been haunted all his life by a painting that eats people.
Nolan Ward has tried everything to outrun it, but it’s finally caught up to him… and it’s hungry.
The Feeding one-shot horror comic is live now on Zoop. For the first time since 2019, writer David M. Booher and artist Drew Zucker have teamed up with Canto colorist Vittorio Astone and letterer AndWorld Design for a new adult horror one-shot that’s decidedly more sinister.
The creative team will be available to sign limited 1/100 NYCC 2023 editions of the book at New York Comic Con on Saturday, October 14 at Hive Comics, booth #3823, from 1:00-2:00 PM.
‘Investment banker Nolan Ward is on top of the world–wealthy, fit, attractive, and available. Yet, his drug-fueled partying masks a darker past. When he meets a mysterious art gallery owner, he’ll come face-to-face with the ghost that has haunted him all his life. It’s a painting called The Feeding. It has returned… and it’s ready for its next meal.’
“Drew and I have talked almost daily for four years while making Canto,” said Booher. “We’ve always batted around ideas for other stories, especially horror, since we’re both horror hounds. When we landed on the concept behind The Feeding, we knew it was the one. Eerie and disturbing in the best possible way, this is our love letter to Creepshow, Twilight Zone, Tales From The Crypt, and all the horror stories that keep us up at night.”
“David and I have always been big horror fans,” added Zucker. “It’s a genre that we both have a strong draw to, and before Canto did work in. When the opportunity came along to do The Feeding, it was a chance to not only take a story that started as an actual nightmare for me, but pull in the entire Canto team and see what we could do together. The end result has been exciting, being able to take all of these lessons from the last few years and apply them into a brand new horror story.”
The Feeding Zoop campaign ends Nov. 5th. Check it out at this link, and if you’re going to be at the Javits next weekend, hit up the gang for your NYCC limited edition of the book.
