Don’t F With Karen: New Series Features A Mom Not Even Monsters Will F*ck With
Thunder Comics and Scout Comics have announced a new horror comedy series featuring a mother who also descends from a long line of women who possess a cursed amulet that grants the bearer power over the monsters that haunt children’s nightmares. The series comes from actor, director, and producer Joel David Moore and writer and producer Mike Capes. They will team up with artist Rui Silvera, colorist Verónica R. López and letterer DC Hopkins.
The publisher’s description of the series reads:
“Karen Campbell is a soccer mom who isn’t afraid to wield everyday household objects as a monster-killing weapon. She is a descendant from a secret lineage of women who have been passed down the CURSED AMULET – a shard from a powerful crystal that grants the bearer power over horrible monsters that can only be seen by children.“
Moore and Capes shared their excitement about working with Thunder Comics and Scout Comics saying,
“We’re thrilled to bring our new hero Karen to life collaborating with the incredible team at Thunder and Scout Comics. Don’t F With Karen is a story about a single mom that begins her hero’s journey late in life to battle children’s biggest fears. We started this project to honor the strong women in our lives that have always protected and guided us…our moms. The true bad asses you don’t F with.”

Tim Zajaros, co-Founder of Thunder Comics praised Moore and Capes saying:
“We couldn’t be more excited about Don’t F With Karen. Joel and Mike are incredibly talented creators, and when they pitched us the idea, we knew we had something special. It’s fun, it’s scary, it’s smart, it’s nostalgic. It’s GHOSTBUSTERS meets GREMLINS with a badass mom leading the charge. We can’t wait to share what they’ve created!”
Don’t F With Karen will have two exclusive ashcan covers with art from Lucas Culshaw and Silvera which will be available at San Diego Comic-Con at the Scout Comics booth. Check out the covers below:
