Lycan Spotlight with Thomas Jane NYCC 2025

Recorded live from the floor of New York Comic Con 2025, Jace sits down with actor and comic creator Thomas Jane to talk about his latest Comixology Originals series, The Lycan. Known for his work in The Punisher, The Expanse, and Grey Matter, Jane dives into his passion for comics and storytelling, describing The Lycan as a gothic romance with werewolves set in 1797—a dark, atmospheric tale blending period drama, wartime tension, and supernatural horror. Drawing inspiration from films like Nosferatu and Brotherhood of the Wolf, the series follows a group of stranded hunters who strike a desperate deal on an isolated British isle, leading to chaos, blood, and unexpected twists. Jane discusses the advantages of digital storytelling through Comixology's panel-by-panel reading experience, the excitement of eventually collecting the full story in print, and the parallels between his work as an actor and as a writer shaping emotion and pacing. The conversation captures the infectious energy of NYCC as Jane reflects on connecting with fans, celebrating creativity, and keeping the love of comics alive through every medium.
