QUOTE FROM WRITER/CREATOR JOSEPH SCHMALKE:

"This was the first book I did when I became a full time comic book creator and it holds a special place in my heart.  I used elements from exploitation and horror movies I love that don't often find their way into the comic book medium...  It's a self aware B horror at its finest and definitely not for children or the squeamish."

QUOTE FROM WRITER/CREATOR MATT MAIR LOWERY:

I can’t wait for folks to discover Cleo and company and dig into Lifeformed. I love these characters, and it’s exciting to think of people discovering them for the first time. And, personally, I’m looking forward to seeing that first issue on the shelves at stores next to all the other comics that week... having a comic that’s a part of the regular old New Comic Book Day grind feels magical, and the 10-year-old, 1984-version of me would never have imagined it possible.
