So real, it results in the protagonist making a pact with the devil. But what happens when this disillusioned magician wants his soul back? Co-written by Allen Dunford and Will Radford, POCUS HOCUS is a hilarious Faustian tale that is part Death Note , part The Prestige , with a decadently delectable dash of Psycho Goreman thrown in the mix. With art by Brian Balondo, coloring by Jasen Smith, and letting/design by Dave Lentz, the resulting look and feel is an extremely enjoyable comic book appealing to horror and fantasy fans in equal measure. Bad Bug publisher Mike Tener had this to say about POCUS HOCUS: “ Pocus Hocus is as dumb as the name suggests...and it's better for it! Its self-awareness is its truest strength: it's both disturbing and funny precisely where and when it intends to be. I'm in love with the vibrant colo...
