Here are some recommended trades for halloween. These arent about halloween per say but they are suited for halloween themed reading material. For yourself or if you expecting some friends over and want to reading material to fit the occasion , I highly recommend these graphic novels/comics.
The Walking Dead (rated: mature) , the tv show starts on Halloween , and if by some chance you like the show or the idea of a zombie world soap opera then this is definitely your graphic novel . Its entirely in black and white , its 12-13 volumes in so you'll have tons to catch up on. Its on going so there is no ending to this piece of hot zombie ass of comic lore.
The Hard Covers are $21 each , they collect 2 trades each.
The Deluxe Compendium collects the first 8 volumes for $40 on amazon .. THIS IS THE BEST BUY. $5 per volume. Plus you get bonus stuff in these collected editions.
Hack Slash. (rated: teens)A high school girl whom's mom was a crazy slasher killer decides to dedicate her life to fighting and beating down these serial slashers via Jason , Freddy Kruger , Michael Meyers... not them in particular but those kind of killers. Did i mention she's a bi-sexual scantily dressed teen with a sweet body? Its all so taboo. Of course they're making a movie of this so get on board now!
Hack Slash Ominibus volumes 1 , 2 (3 is due in nov)
TPB volumes 1-8
My First Maniac and Murder Messiah comics
Dead of Night: Man-Thing. (rated:teen) I picked this up for $4 out of the bargain bin , its a re-telling of Man-Things' origin. Its such a throw back to vintage sci-fi and horror from the 50s , its amazing. I would recommend any kind of classic collection from vintage titles such as Man-Thing , Vampirella , Tales of the Crypt , Dracula , Sherlock Holmes , Solomon Kane , ...etc. This old stuff still holds its own and its great nostalgia. I would guess this is definitely for older readers caz Im not sure how young readers would react to this. Its just cheezy geeky shits and giggles..
Dead of Night TPB - I bought mine for $4 at Golden Age's bargain bin.
Essential Man-Thing , superb value its $14 for 600 pages , you get the original origin story and first few runs of Man-Thing.
Vertigo Resurrected#1: Shoot : (rated : mature). Since this just came out its probably easiest to find on store shelves. Its a mixed collection of stories varying from horror , sci-fi , political ,..etc In the end its a hell of a read and its perfect for a Halloween read for anybody whom has likes cool shit.
$8 at comic shops. I dont know if book stores will carry this though its the same size as a small trade paperback.
Something for the family and kids
The Stuff of Legend. (rated: family) I cant say enough about this series , except I wish I "Weird Science" it so I can copulate it. They must've took brain steroids to have their imagination level this high. Here's a quick run down : In 1944 a boy gets kidnapped by the BoogeyMan into his realm "the Dark" , the boys' toys rally together and decide they must rescue him from the dark. The characters are outstanding , the landscape is mind blowing , the art is crazy good ,the story is crackhead addicting. This is a new series , I think there's a plan 3 set volume , they're currently in the middle of volume 2. so there's still lots to go. This is a hidden gem.
collected trade is $13 , 11 on amazon. Beautiful book.
