Count Crowley: Mediocre Midnight Monster Hunter #4 by David Dastmalchian, Lukas Ketner and Lauren Affe. Main cover by Ketner. Variant cover by Tyler Crook. Out in February 2024.

"The vengeful spirit of a Halloween tragedy terrorizes the children of Beloit but before Jerri can learn how to bust this ghost, she'll have to face off with a vampire more powerful than anything she's faced. As the stakes increase, all nefarious roads seem to lead to Kansas City, where a provocative lab of re-animated corpses have been used for some unsavory business. The body count rises, the spirits are conjured and something unspeakable will befall one of Jerri's most important allies."

I just finished volume one of the series Count Crowley: Reluctant Monster Hunter and I love it so far!

It's a comic series written by David Dastmalchian, who yall might know better as Polka-Dot Man

It's about Jerri Bartman, who takes up hosting a Creature Feature after being fired from her TV journalist job, becoming the character Count Crowley, but it turns out that the job also comes with the responsibility of fighting monsters. She's also fighting her own inner demons and trauma along the way

So far, I'm loving it! Jerri is a very compelling main character: she's a witty smart-ass with real struggles that are portrayed genuinely and we see her actively wanting to better herself, even going to AA and planning to stick with it at the end of volume one

I also love that her whole shtick she takes on as Captain Crowley is her roasting the movies and the audience, like "hey this shit sucks ass but you're a bitch ass loser that doesn't have anything better to do so here you go"

If you're a fan of Jessica Jones and old school Universal Monsters, I think you'll really like this

TW for sexual assault, suicide mentions, alcoholism, and off-page animal harm

"[Count Crowley] takes place in 1983 and centers on Jerri Bartman, a once rising TV journalist who moves back to her home town in the midwest when her career hits a snag after struggles with alcoholism," reads THR's description of the title. "She hosts the nightly Creature Feature, but soon learns her job comes with hidden duties: hunting monsters. Count Crowley, her missing predecessor, was one of the last of the appointed monster hunters in the world. Monsters are actually real, and are trying to control the world's news and information."
