Comics site Newsarama spoke with Todd Farmer about “Alien Pig Farm 3000,” the book Todd’s writing in collaboration with Steve and Tom Jane. When asked to describe the book, Todd said:

Steve came up with the title and I love him for it. It’s got that grab yer duct tape, yer shotgun and kiss yer sister on the mouth feel to it. We know what happens when aliens attack the White House. And we’ve got a pretty good idea what happens when they attack Sigourney Weaver. But what happens when they attack a Kentucky pig farming town and your only hope lies within the hands of a couple of moonshining rednecks? The answer is Alien Pig Farm 3000. Action, gore, humor and I’m certain we’re gonna get hate mail from Kentucky. I’ve been writing professionally for going on 12 years and this is simply the most fun I’ve ever had.

Check out the full interview.

“Pieces for Mom: A Tale of the Undead,” the one-shot comic from Steve and artist Andrew Ritchie, published by Image Comics, is out this Wednesday, January 31st. If you happened to miss the news on this series a couple of months back, no worries. Simply check out this link for more information on the series and a preview.

From masters of horror Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson comes the most anticipated and monster-filled comics series of the year, City of Others.

When Stosh Bludowski awakes from the nightmare of the last twenty-four hours, his life will be forever changed. It’s not like Blud-a ruthless hit man- hasn’t known darkness before, but awakening to the reality that the world is filled with zombies and vampires isn’t the easiest thing to swallow. Now that he’s in the midst of a family of vampires (”others,” as they prefer to be called), and they’re under attack by an invading army of rampaging zombies, Blud needs to choose a side, and doing so will seal his fate forever.
