Tananarive Due (“The Keeper”) will launch “The Horizon Experiment: Moon Dogs.” It follows a family of Black Lycanthropes of East African descent who find themselves caught in a burgeoning war when the truth starts to come out that werewolves aren’t just a myth. J. Holtham, a producer on “The Handmaid’s Tale,” will launching his first creator-owned comic “The Horizon Experiment: Motherf#cking Monsters.” It is pitched as involving “a nerdy Black kid from Brooklyn and his friends who stumble upon demon-worshipping frat assholes trying to take over the world,” and as “a love letter to Sam Raimi and Edgar Wright, set to a Wu-Tang soundtrack.” He is joined on the project by African-American cartoonist Michael Lee Harris, creator, writer, and artist of “Black Hitler” and “Choco Leche.” The results are books about: a Chinese James Bond, a Muslim John Constantine, a family of werewolves with East African descent, an ‘Evil Dead’ for black nerds, and a reverse ‘Indiana Jones’ story,” said Pitchetshote.
