Jon Rea's Creator Bio

William “Bloody Wulf” Zu is a New York homicide detective that has just made the arrest of his career. With the apprehension of Richard Pickman he has solved over one hundred missing child cases over a span of thirty years. The excavation of Pickman’s basement reveals horrors beyond imagination…the bodies of children mutilated in bizarre satanic rites.

But nine years of solving violent crimes and this latest and most awful discovery has pushed William Zu to the brink. Neither a promotion at work, a lucrative book deal, nor even the love of his wife and newborn son can break the grip of a dark depression that settles over his soul. Frustrated with his role of clean-up man to the detritus of the world, William makes what may be a fatal mistake: he decides to kill Pickman.

Fatal, for Richard Pickman is no ordinary psychopath. The rituals he performed were not the work of a madman but sacrifices made to a very real demon to prolong his life. Killing him is going to be a lot tougher than Zu ever thought possible…

“One of the most professionally presented series on the shelves… Intelligent and provocative.”

—Newseed Comics

“The beginnings of a viciously creepy tale, with the art and story complimenting one another in spine-tingling perfection.”

— Geeks of Doom

“It's spooky stuff. Real Deal Art + Atmosphere Over Gore + Scared To Turn The Page = A.”
