Blood-Soaked Supernatural Grindhouse Horror – Announcing ‘Gunpowder Prophets’

Mad Cave Studios invites readers to a gonzo splatter fest packed with cults, corpses, and consequences this October. 

Gunpowder Prophets hits spinner racks on October 1st, 2025, just in time for spooky season. The full-throttle supernatural grindhouse horror series is slotted for five blood-soaked issues written by Justin Jordan, illustrated by Patrick Piazzalunga, with colors by Roman Stevens and letters by Taylor Esposito. There’s also a variant cover by Jorge Corona, and if you’ve ever laid eyes on Middlewest, you know you need that variant.

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.

“It’s seventies exploitation cinema meets Fulci-style horror with a healthy dose of buddy comedy,” said Jordan of the mini-series. “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,” added 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.
