Yes, it is a reprint of The Long Halloween Special with a cover Sale had in his vault but it is a lead-in to the ten issue series.
The original series? They’re reprinting that?

No, just the special from 2021. The Last Halloween is a ten part series written by Loeb with I believe a different artist for each issue.

Anyone ever read We3? Significantly more gory and smart than the cover would imply.

Enjoyed Blood Commandment. There isn't much left under the sun for vampires but even hashing out what we've seen before can be quite good, really enjoyed the art (enjoy Kudrański a lot)

Started the Old Man Logan epic, really like how Logan the film drew a few direct quotes early on and framed the opening scene.

In this vein I started Killadelphia which took a bit to get engaging but am enjoying it with some branching out.

Idunno how long I am going to run with Old Man Logan though, will probably get to the third collection tomorrow but I feel that'll be make or break.

Third collection grabbed me, in it for the duration.

Also started the Complete Punisher MAX Collection.

Bought Monica, from Daniel Clowes yesterday. Looks good.

Also finished The Lab from Lucas Varela. Stunning art.

Never got to the fourth collection of Old Man Logan, three felt like a bit of a slog when Killadelphia really took off. It got a little bonkers at the end but feel it earned it, really great series.

Felt Punisher MAX was fine, did not seek out any additional runs.

Read the first two collections of Sunstone and thought they were absolutely tremendous.

Few issues in to w0rldtr33 and enjoying that.

I hope Hello Darkness continues forever.

Issue six of The Last Halloween :thumbsup:

I never read Hush or The Long Halloween. They were released and i always thought of those as marketing and not as real, good comic books. It was a moment i was very tired with super heroes too.

I need to correct that.

There’s a lot in the world of Long Halloween you need to check out if you haven’t. Loeb/Sale created a strong story line thru multiple miniseries and one-shots that’s tough to beat. And it’s all a continuation from Miller’s Year One.

Hush is a ripping good tale with fantastic art. Great fun.

Loeb is a good author for Batman.

Just learned artist Jackson “Butch” Guice has passed away. Can’t say he was a favorite but I always enjoyed his work.
