Welcome, foolish mortals. Not far from the shores of Gotham City, when the nights grow long, the leaves turn red, and a certain crisp chill comes into the air on a twilight lit by the full moon, the lives of heroes and antiheroes from Raven to Swamp Thing, Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman, and more … turn toward the strange and unusual, the occult and delightful, the odd and the audacious. For those looking to give themselves a good, warm dose of the shivers, this anthology of scary stories to tell in the dark is the perfect assortment of fairy tales for troubled times and troubled souls alike. Pick up a copy wherever needful things and comic books are sold. We think you’ll find it the perfect companion to your handbook for the recently deceased.

Vampirella and Sabrina the Teenage Witch Cross Paths This Winter!

Posted on by Leave a comment

It’s a vampire weekend! Two spooky icons cross paths in a historic crossover this December to heat up fans’ pull lists. Dynamite Entertainment and Archie Comics are proud to announce Sabrina the Teenage Witch X Vampirella, with critically acclaimed author Tini Howard at the helm in her Dynamite debut!

Sabrina Spellman is only half witch. Unlike the others in her coven, she still craves a mortal summer vacation with all its comfy accoutrements. When her aunts make her dream come true, with the stipulation that she has to do some house-sitting, everyone’s favorite teenage sorceress (and her adorable cat Salem!) finds herself kicking back in an idyllic beachside town. First and foremost on her mind is hiding her magic from a gaggle of nosy neighbors. But one such neighbor is not quite like the others…

Vampirella is only half vampire. The descendant of Drakulon finds herself torn between two worlds, human expectations of her vampire visage, and her at times competing impulses of heroism and survival. When a new challenge rises on her radar, she can sense the perfect ally. This young witch’s magic could come in handy, and the two will set off on a thrilling and historic fable!

Celebrated scribe Tini Howard is no stranger to some of the most iconic women in comics, with fan-favorite runs on Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Excalibur, and the recently concluded Sirens: Love Hurts. This isn’t her first rodeo with the Daughter of Drakulon either. The preeminent, beloved bloodsucking queen of comics appeared as a crossover guest in Hack/Slash: Resurrection, an early breakout hit for Howard.

A veritable magician’s assistant in the creative team, artist duo Bill Galvan and Ben Galvan illustrate this tale. With decades of experience drawing the generationally cherished cast of Archie Comics, they’re the perfect fit to bring Vampirella into this world and matching Howard’s fun approach.

In celebrating both these icons of the 1960s and beyond, the perfectly paired creative team is joined by a legion of spellbinding covers by creators associated with both sides of the team-up as well as evoking their classic imagery. Eric Powell, Francesco Francavilla, Sebastián Píriz, and Mike Rooth all contribute classics. Interior artists Bill and Ben Galvan cooks up a stunning homage to a classic with his cover. Collectors can also opt for an exciting mystery blind bag, packed with rare variants on these and other surprises.

Don’t miss out on any of the magic mayhem from this pair of comics powerhouses crafted by a stellar creative team!

Vampire: The Masquerade

Sicko #1 delivers an interesting concept that has some potential depth

Posted on by

Valentine Virago has always struggled with her health. Her rare autoimmune disorder has defied all treatment, and as she grew older, it defied even classification. You see, Valentine can take her immune system and weaponize it. What would just be a normal sneeze to the rest of us, she can turn into a projectile of bloody miasma. Just as a start.

Fed up with being a test subject, poked and prodded by pushy doctors, Valentine has gone on the lam in search of the freedom to be herself. Unfortunately, interested parties want her back in their care, and they are sending goons in hazmat suits. Led by Jono, her one-time nurse and potential love interest, they’re offering her a spot in a private medical facility run by Jono’s parents. Val isn’t one for institutions, however, and what some may see as a safe haven, she sees as a prison— and who wants to be trapped in a prison, when you’re already trapped in your own body?

THE KILLER REVEALED! Things heat up in Gotham City as Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and their reluctant new partner in crime — solving , that is — Black Canary hunt down leads in their serial killer case. Catwoman ropes Batman into some steamy surveillance work, Harley and Ivy pour out the wine as they pore over evidence, and Canary… well, the only thing keeping her sane amidst wedding dress shopping and her too-fancy engagement party is getting her knuckles a little bruised and bloody during suspect interrogations. But as the bodies pile up and Halloween looms large over Gotham, the Sirens realize working together across enemy lines proves harder than your average Justice League team-up. When the killer suddenly turns the sharp point of their knife from the city ‘ s most vulnerable women to the Sirens themselves, will the threat unite them at long last? Or tear their alliance apart for good?
