Is there a Halloween themed section for the seasonal reads coming anytime soon? it Might seem A bit obvious but Has anyone Notice , you Don’t need to make The Batman into a Horror, but it is there mostly already? Most of The Batman Villain List consist of mere Boogymen. Scarecrow, Clayface and Killer Kroc could all center a Horror movie. I noticed this when I was reading Arkham Asylum: Living Hell. Then I started tailoring a Halloween List of my own to set the Horror theme.
Justice League Dark ( 1-3) 2018 , Arkham Manor , Arkham Reborn , Batman : Kings of Fear , DC House of Horror ( One Shot) , Frankenstein Agents of Shade , House of Secrets #92 ( Swamp Things first)
And The Batman" The Long Halloween" , but really, it should of been called The Long Holiday, since it features Vday, Xmas and most of the other ones.
What are Good Halloween suggestions and what does everyone think Is a good Comic to read during the Autumn and Halloween approaching for good Scares and horror related storytelling? Is there any one Book you come back too each Halloween?
Jeff Lemire’s Animal Man gets pretty freaky, especially with the Rotworld storylines that cross over with Snyder’s Swamp Thing. That’s probably my favorite spooky superhero story. Gotham by Gaslight is also a classic. Otherwise, House of Mystery and House of Suspense are stuffed full of classic horror shorts. I should also mention that some of Alan Moore’s earlier Swamp Thing stories are excellent horror tales. The werewolf story and the Winchester House story in particular always stand out to me. Hope you find something spooky for the season!
Anonymousbluebeetle I read that last Halloween , its Up there with Dark knight Returns, I Liked it so much I read the Sequel “Dark Victory” same team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.
An overlooked one that’s not only a good book for Halloween, but is one of the better New 52 books, was I, Vampire by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Andrea Sorrantino, about the Andrew Bennett, a tortured vampire from the Victorian era who has come to hunt vampires, lead by the bloodthirsty Mary, Queen of the Damned…and his former betrothed, who he made a vampire in the first place.
It’s a good book for the season – it has it’s spooky dark moments, but also has a fair amount of humor to it, it’s pretty short and only has one tie-in to Justice League Dark and tells a pretty complete story. I’d definitely recommend it.
