Friday the 13th: Bloodbath

In 2005 and 2006, Avatar Press unleashed a short, brutal three-issue miniseries that returned Jason Voorhees to his slasher roots. Written by Brian Pulido with art by Mike Wolfer, Friday the 13th: Bloodbath ignores the supernatural elements of the later films, instead crafting a gritty, visceral story set in the early days of Camp Crystal Lake. It offers a focused, no-frills horror experience for fans who want a lean, mean take on the franchise's iconic killer.
