I hope everyone enjoyed last week’s dive into The Spectre and Dr. 13. I personally really dug Tales of the Unexpected. Before we get into the books we are reading this week, join @LaserPuff and me in giving a warm House of Horror welcome to our newest member @scoop001! Make yourself comfortable but always expect the unexpected.
If you missed a House of Horror event have no fear! Here is a list of every HoH topic! Feel free to jump into the conversation no matter how old the topic is!
This week we are going to explore the aftermath of Dark Knights: Metal found in the pages The Unexpected. This might not be the normal horror comic we read in HoH but after last week’s vicious images, think of this as a palette cleanser.
Don’t forget to let us know your thoughts on what you have read!
A few new horror comics are hitting comic store shelves this week! We might not be reading the books right away and some of them might even be discussed in other clubs upon release. Think of this as a preview of what might be lurking in the dark corners of House of Horror.
This was an interesting series that I had never heard of before. Nice to see Hawkman in here. It was an interesting twist to end things with Mandrak. I enjoyed this more than I usually do with the Dark Universe involved.
Firebrand seems pretty cool, she is a healer who is forced to be a bruiser. I love the hot rod style intakes she has on her shoulders, such a cool design.
He really is. I have the Macho Man Collector’s Edition DVD set with like 4 or 6 discs in it. It has every important match that he has ever been and if you watch enough of his matches you realize that he can make anyone look good, even Ultimate Warrior.
One of the characters from the original Challengers of the Unkown, June Robbins showed up. I started reading the original series a long time back. Add that to the list of stuff to read.
I’ve got a Challengers of the Unknown reading order. I think I posted it on here when it was bare bones long time ago. Loeb & Sale have the best run imho…it’s amazing!!! June rules!!
I have to say Onimar Synn has to be one of the more boring villains I’ve ever seen. (mocking tone)“Oh, I’ve lived for 100,000 years, I’m going to steal the souls of anyone who works for me. Give me more nth metal so I can continue with my worthless existence.”
The Unexpected is not really what I was expecting. I really had no idea what to expect but it wasn’t this story. I enjoyed it and really dug the off-balance mixture of superhero comics and horror-lite.
Yeah, his whole thing received one of these from me:
Mandrakk was kind of cool, that whole being a god/vampire thing.
I would like to see more of Neon. He seems like a character that has legs and his adventures could be a lot of fun. Outside of appearing in The Unexpected, he has shown up Dark Knights: Metal 6, and his first appearance was in Supergirl 20.
