Welcome, my CryptoComics Compatriots! With Halloween just around the corner I want you to picture this: you’re on the Bear Mountain Bridge. All around, abandoned cars sit like tombstones. The air is still—until it isn’t. The low growl of something not-quite-human breaks the silence, and in that instant, you know it’s too late to run. The ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE has come.
This is how Raze grabs you from the very first issue, yanking you headfirst into the chaos and not letting go until you’re breathless. And that’s just the opening scene.
This week, I’m thrilled to introduce our featured creators: Samuel Willis and Tre Primm, the brains behind this indie horror masterpiece. With Halloween creeping closer, it’s the perfect time to sink your teeth into the world they’ve created, or let Raze sink its teeth into you.
Sam and Tre are the heart and soul of Raze, a series that delivers both visceral horror and action in spades. Their work is a labor of love, born from years of crafting stories and perfecting their craft. Sam’s sharp lettering and narrative style combined with Tre’s bold inking create a world that feels all too real—and all too terrifying.
Together, they’ve built something that taps into our collective fear of the unknown while still delivering the kind of high-octane action that keeps you hooked.
They’ve been a part of the CryptoComics community for a while now, joining us in a few videos where they shared their journey as indie creators, and it’s clear they live and breathe this stuff. If you’ve seen them in action, you know the passion they bring to every single page.
Over the course of their Raze journey, Sam and Tre have built a devoted following through a series of successful Kickstarter campaigns. Altogether, they've raised over $35,000, thanks to a community of passionate horror and indie comic fans who believe in their vision.
Each campaign has been more ambitious than the last, offering fans a chance to dive deeper into the apocalyptic chaos that Raze is known for.
What makes their campaigns stand out, though, are the creative and interactive tiers they offer. Whether it’s the chance to appear in a zombie-filled panel as one of the infected (a fan-favorite reward), or limited-edition variant covers by some seriously talented guest artists, Sam and Tre know how to keep their supporters engaged.
They’ve even included behind-the-scenes access to their creative process—giving backers an exclusive look at how they bring each gruesome scene to life.
The Raze Kickstarters have become more than just a way to fund each issue—they’ve become events, drawing in both returning fans and new supporters with each new installment.
Want to see more behind-the-scenes action? Sam and Tre are tearing it up on TikTok, where they share sneak peeks, fan interactions, and insight into how they craft the Raze universe. It’s raw, real, and a must-watch for anyone obsessed with indie comics and horror.
You can get your hands on Raze Issues 1-4 as Digital Collectables, each offering a unique dive into the chaotic world of this zombie apocalypse.
In Issue 1, we’re thrown straight into the outbreak as a group of survivors tries to make sense of the terrifying virus sweeping through New York. The tension is palpable as they find themselves stranded on the Bear Mountain Bridge, battling not only the infected but their own fears of what’s to come.
As the story unfolds in Issue 2, the survivors start to realize that this isn’t just an outbreak—it’s a full-scale apocalypse. They’re pushed to their limits, forced to make brutal decisions as they fight their way through the city. The virus spreads, and with it, the uncertainty of who can be trusted.
By Issue 3, the group is beginning to uncover disturbing hints about the virus’s origins. Paranoia and fear rise within the group, as trust begins to unravel. Meanwhile, the threat of the undead continues to escalate, and survival feels like an increasingly distant possibility.
Issue 4 turns up the heat as the survivors make a desperate attempt to escape the city, now overrun with the infected. The action is relentless, and not everyone will make it out alive. Alliances are tested, and the full brutality of the apocalypse becomes painfully clear.
Each of these issues is available on the CryptoComics Marketplace as a Digital Collectable, giving fans not just the thrill of reading but the opportunity to own a part of this intense, pulse-pounding series.
Some good news? If you're already hooked, there’s more coming! The next issues of Raze should be available soon, continuing the action-packed, horror-filled saga that Sam and Tre have crafted so masterfully. Keep an eye out—you won't want to miss what happens next!
We couldn’t be more excited about how perfectly next week’s featured creator lines up with the sheer intensity of Sam and Tre’s Raze! After diving headfirst into the pulse-pounding world of Raze—with its relentless zombies, gripping survival themes, and high-octane action—there’s no better follow-up than the twisted genius of Baz.
The madness Baz brings with Bazstwistedmind feels like the natural next step, as his dark, unpredictable style will keep the energy and horror at an all-time high. We chose Baz specifically to ensure that after the final page of Raze, you’re still on the edge of your seat, craving more chaos and thrill. It’s the perfect way to keep the adrenaline pumping!
