Helloween!

As they did last year, the Study Group cartoonist have rolled out a whole week of seasonal comics including: The Gemini Three – Part 1 – by T Edward Bak Flash Forward – by Sean T....

No one is better than Charles Burns, and his unnamed trilogy—X'ed Out, The Hive and the new Sugar Skull—may be an even greater achievement in horror than his masterful Black Hole. The horror is...

Few comics are as suitable for Halloween reading as Robert Kirkman's Outcast, which opens with a gruesome, intense demonic possession, and continues with an exploration of a great central character,  Kyle Barnes, who has to deal with his own connection to possession and the demonic world. We all know Kirkman is a horror master, but Azaceta's art on the book is sleek and controlled, aided by top notch colors. The first collection of Outcast comes out in December.

This extraordinary book—surely one of the most beautiful picture books of the year— has a complicated history. It began with Mattotti's phenomenal illustrations, originally commissioned for the Metropolitan Opera's 2007 production of Engelbert Humperdink's...

The long running The Last Halloween is an engrossing tale about a girl and some monsters.

F YEAH!!!!!! If there is one Halloween tradition in comics that must be kept is a new digital comic by Emily Caroll! Her previous uses of the digital palette to create horror has made her one of the few true autuers of "future comics"—and the print iteration, Through the Woods is one of the best graphic novels of the year. Her previous horror comics like His Face All Red, Margot’s Room, Out of Skin and The Hole the Fox Did Make are all classics of terror and digital storytelling.

David Hine's Strange Embrace has quietly become a classic horror comic. The eerie tale of a delivery whose weekly trip to a house full of dysfunctional shut ins reveals secret after secret and descends into madness, sexual obssession and death, it's been published in various editions from Image, Active Images and even Atomeka since 2003. And now you can get the ULTIMATE version of the story via Sequential, the graphic novel app for iPads. This version is in the original black and white (at one point it was colored and though it looked great B&W fits the mood better). It also includes an intro by Paul Gravett, back matter and even AN AUDIO COMMENTARY FOR EACH PAGE. YOU heard that right. Sequential is aiming to make the "criterion collection" of digital graphic novels and they are doing a fine job of it.
