DC Comics continues their long-standing tradition of anthology themed holiday specials this Halloween with not one, but two spooktacular, horror-themed anthology issues: LEGEND OF THE SWAMP THING HALLOWEEN SPECTACULAR #1 AND DC: THE DOOMED AND THE DAMNED #1.
DetailsEraserhead
Henry, an introverted factory printer, finds he has to care for his premature, odd-looking child. If any of you have seen any of the short films on Vimeo, then you’ve essentially seen Eraserhead. It’s strange, makes very little sense, and leaves you with an odd feeling—if it’s good. What feelings did Eraserhead give me? Let’s find out.
DetailsSiKtC #8
SIKtC #8 (Tynion IV, Dell’edera): A great issue steering on momentum furthering the plot whilst brewing more intrigue and hype for the next installment of this addicting series!
DetailsDCeased: Dead Planet #1
In DCeased: Dead Planet #1 (Taylor, Hairsine), the creative team continues where they left off bringing us the most gory, insane, yet breathtaking DC series we will possibly ever see!
DetailsDavid Mack joins forces with an already packed talented team to provide variant covers for VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE #1
DetailsSpawn #307
While the story is one that fans will be talking about for some time, we are simply going to need to see how things continue to play out to determine if everything was truly worthwhile. Even then, Spawn #307 (McFarlane, Tan, Glapion, Gho, Orzechowski) packs a punch with some awesome artwork and a touch of nostalgia to keep readers coming back.
DetailsNegan Lives!
Negan Lives! (Kirkman, Adlard, Rathburn, Wooton) revives the fan-favorite character’s story with perfect timing and for a great cause, capturing the dramatic tension of the world we’ve all come to love through an introspective look at what motivation for life means in the darkest places.
DetailsJohn Constantine: Hellblazer #7
John Constantine: Hellblazer #7 brings Constantine to the docks to investigate some troubled waters, and it involves a mermaid. With an incredibly interesting story and brilliant art, this issue should not be missed.
DetailsBleed Them Dry #1
Bleed Them Dry #1 (Rahal, Ruan, Muerto, Andworld) is a book that will surprise many readers with its strong sense of worldbuilding and narrative pacing, but it’s the characters that will keep you coming back for more. For fans of vampires and dark mysteries, this is must read material!
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal Legends of the Dark Knights #1 and Dark Nights: Death Metal Guidebook #1 set to explore the new twisted landscape of the DCU.
DetailsPeter Milligan/John Paul Leon show the origin of a supervillain and the desperation of heroes in gothic time travel comic, The Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix.
DetailsJustice League Dark #23
Justice League Dark continues to impress in issue #23 (V, Tynion IV, Hotz, Chung, Leigh), maintaining a streak of momentum that makes this one of my most anticipated releases every month. It doesn’t lose track of the darker, more “out-there” elements that work so well with the team but it also never forgets to tell a solid superhero story.
