I’m thrilled to announce my upcoming book - Haunted: Mary Shelley and the Dawn of Frankenstein. My most ambitious nonfiction project yet, it traces Shelley’s extraordinary life— culminating in the creation of Frankenstein. Coming this year from Humanoids. More soon. —Koren

Happy Holidays! Here’s our holiday card for this year. I will report that neither boy approved of their depiction (the older one wanted to be drawn as Harry Potter and the younger one Batman and not the Joker) Well, it seems you can’t please anyone these days!

Have you checked in yet? Our short with @korenshadmi.bsky.social is featured in #17 of the new @metalhurlantoff.bsky.social mag.

The Twilight Man by @korenshadmi.bsky.social from @humanoids.com is up for review today! 🚪✨ youtu.be/1DdHVUEPam8?... #twilightzone #comics #humanoids #thecomicbookreport

I was recently inspired by @rameyer.bsky.social who made her own fantastic cover pitch - to try my luck in submitting a cover sketch to the New Yorker. Alas it was not accepted, but I thought I would share it here. More details about the concept below-

A splash page from an upcoming graphic novel in the works. I’m trying a new method here with watercolor background and a flatter treatment for the figures. The setting is based on a painting titled ‘Romantic Landscape’ by the brilliant Thomas Cole, who founded the Hudson River School art movement.

Dans peu de temps, l’être humain pourra profiter d’implants permettant de changer de visage. Les passe-visages pourront alors user de ce pouvoir pour se faire passer pour n’importe qui. Et bien entendu, cela se monnayera. Koren Shadmi invente ce futur @korenshadmi.bsky.social #BD

A sequence from my recent book Shifter. In the book I chose a different color schemes for each scene, made to fit the atmosphere and general mood, I decided to go against the grain for dystopian sci fi, and not pick super gloomy or dark color scheme.

Nothing says 'dystopian' like not having the time or energy to talk to your family (assuming you want to, that is). Text your mom a funny meme, or text voice memo, or email, or send a card, or set a time to go out for lunch, etc.

Best charity shop find of this year so far. £1.75.

Some more book news! Together with my new book ‘Shifter’ French readers will be getting a new edition of my Sci-Fi graphic novel - ‘Highwayman’ (Le Voyageur in French) which first came out circa 2015 on Motherboard and later in book form. Thank you Marabulles for the incredible production.

New book out in France next month. A sci-fi drama that’s hard to describe. Hoping to have news on a US edition soon!

I’m late to a lot of stuff, but this gave me a good chuckle.

Let’s make sure to shame sketchers and the lazy advertising team that used AI illustration for this billboard.

Here's something light hearted after a week of harrowing news. A comic I made for @nytimes.com about the history of the eponymous TV Dinner. Hope you like it! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/d...

@korenshadmi.bsky.social Twilight Man was a pleasant surprise I picked up at the library and now gladly will purchase my own copy. 🚪

Really enjoyed @korenshadmi.bsky.social’s THE TWILIGHT MAN - Great illustrations, terrific structure. I’ve read quite a few Serling biographies and this might be one of my favorites.

Does anyone else remember the webcomic 'The Abaddon' by Koren Shadmi? I think the site is gone... Still got my physical copy though - such a weird, disturbing comic, I still love it. Some great bizarre face designs too; though, as is often the case, the men are more interesting than the women.

I love The Twilight Zone, so I was thrilled to learn about a graphic novel biography of Rod Serling. I've read a couple of Koren Shadmi's bios, but this was the first and had me hooked. Really well-researched and doesn't try to make Serling seem like a perfect human.

Hey folks, starting something new here. Hope you can join in.
