by Olly MacNamee

Positioned as somewhere between Bambi and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Bad Idea’s new horror title, It Demands Sacrifice, debuts this October from screenwriter Philip Gelatt (Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots), filmmaker David Yarovesky (Brightburn), artist Adam Pollina (X-Force) and colourist Dean White. And like any comic debut these days, there will be plenty of variant covers to collect. Covers from Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs), Patrick Horvarth (Beneath the Trees), Brett Bean (D’Orc), Flops (Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers) and Suspiria (Something is Killing the Children), and we have them to share with you, as well as a reminder of what the series is all about:

It Demands Sacrifice #1 main cover by Adam Pollina

“On a quiet farm, Bronson, the youngest and smallest member of a close-knit family of goats, lives an idyllic life of sun-drenched fields, fresh hay, and sibling rivalries. His greatest concern is proving to his older siblings—and, more importantly, his imposing father—that he is more than just the runt of the herd.

Then, in a single night, everything changes.

A drug-fueled, sex-obsessed satanic hippie murder cult descends on the farm, slaughtering the family who raised and protected the goats before abducting Bronson and his loved ones. Deep in the wilderness, beneath a blood-red moon, hundreds of cult followers gather for an ancient ritual. Their purpose: to sacrifice the goats and summon a ravenous demon from beyond.

Now, the fate of his family rests on the shoulders of the one creature least prepared to save them.

Innocent, outmatched, and absurdly cute, Bronson must summon a courage he never knew he possessed as he confronts knife-wielding cultists, unspeakable horrors, and forces far beyond his understanding in a desperate attempt to rescue his family before they are offered up in blood.”
