Halloween Comicfest top 9

The comics for this years Halloween Comicfest have been announced a few days ago. So let's count down with my top 9 picks. 

I'll start writing the posts soon but I'll have them timed to go online one at a time each week for the 9 weeks before Halloween Comicfest on October 31, 2015. 

Until then, have a great summer.

Halloween comic countdown #1

    Like every day that has free comic books Sonic is the one I want the most.

1 - SONIC LOST WORLD

2 - CARTOON NETWORK SUPER SAMPLER

3 - MY LITTLE PONY HALLOWEEN EDITION

4 - ADVENTURE TIME

5 - UZUMAKI
 
6 - BATMAN THE LONG HALLOWEEN #1

7 - PANTALONES TX ZOMBINATA

    Of course it's a Sonic comic as my number 1. Reprint or not even a story, I will pick the Blue Blur above all. I've been a fan for what some say to be too many years and I still love it in one way or another. Given the story in this issue I hope there will be some extras like pin-ups or up-to-date data files.

    This is a sort of reprint. It's a story prequel to the new Sonic game Sonic Lost World for the Nintendo's WiiU & 3DS. It was going to premiere in the Sonic Super Special magazine #9 but this comes out a few weeks before that. The art looks great from the preview and giving that the story takes place before the game there could be some fun things here that won't be seen or made clear in the game.

    I have high hopes for this comic since most of the other comics are reprints in a way but this will be way fresher than those. This issue is at a great price of course and will pad out a Sonic comic set or gifted with the game very well. This is a comic for Sonic fans of the comic or game for sure.Give this a read so you don't have to pay the $10 for the magazine if that's what you're after in it

    Cartoon Network has moved it's best title from DC to IDW. Ben 10 is a show I liked but not like like so I don't care about that part even if Cartoon Network has about 4 shows, at least 2 movies, countless games & toys, and spammed Ben 10 all over their comics with DC.

    Powerpuff Girls was an amazing show that should have lasted longer. I haven't read the comics of the show but from what I saw it was very well done and the interview for the new comic gives me high hopes on the new comic run.

    Samurai Jack was my favorite show when it was on TV and in many ways I still pick it over 99% of TV shows that came before and after it. I grabbed all the Samurai Jack comics that I could from DC even though they were shout or very short stories. Now that it's with IDW I'm going to keep track of this comic for sure and I hope that there are real story arcs of an on going series that it deserves.

    Looking at the preview of this issue the Samurai Jack story is a reprint of one of the DC stories. I don't know about the other 2 stories. Check out family friendly stories based on the best shows that Cartoon Network could make at the time they came out.

    I am a My Little Pony fan for a little over a year now with the Friendship Is Magic series. The comics are do by some artists and writers that are very good at what they do but I haven't read any of the comics yet since I still need to finish season 2 of the show.

    This issue is a reprint of some story from other issues and other items to deal with MLP. It's a good sampler issue for those who want to check out the comic and some of the scarier parts that where in the comic so far. The cover of this issue the biggest reason I'm getting this comic as it's so beautiful to me and I just WANT IT! See what's so hot about ponies lately with this very special issue that makes me wish I could color that well.

    Adventure Time is my favorite show right now. From beginning to end on every episode and issue of the comic is great! Like the other free Adventure Time comics this one is a reprint of an issue that is out already. Being that it's an Adventure Time comic it's one that I'm getting for sure just because it's AMAZING!

    As for everyone else, This is a stand alone issue that is a good jumping on point for people who want to check out the comic or the preview the show in paper form. A free comic of the best show on TV is a win for any one. Look out for the snail.

    I've stayed away from horror manga due to the creepy art work and how the story could mess with your head. After hearing about this series a few time on Atop The Forth Wall I now see that there is a bigger picture to this book. I will be happy to be creeped out by this book for Halloween and become even more crazy.

    For every 2,000 super hero Christmas comics there are 1 super hero Halloween comic. Any super hero comic with Halloween as it's theme in one way or another should be supported. This Batman story has been know to be one of the best I haven't read it so far. Getting my hands on the first part of the story could just be what I need to read more Batman.

Halloween comic countdown #7

    October 26th, the Saturday before Halloween is Halloween Comic Fest 2013. Comic shops across the country with be giving FREE COMICS! Since this is the second year of Halloween Comic Fest there will be 22 different comics given away. With fewer comics than Free Comic Book Day there are fewer comics I'm looking forward to. So numbers #5-#7 are really filler.

If I was a zombie...

When there's no more room in hell ...

Take this quiz

This weeks Escapist Magazine quiz is about which zombie you'll be and I'm a Romero zombie. Classic but I wanted more.

"Ahh, the Romero Zombie, also considered to be the classic concept of what zombies are all about. No one knows what's causes them to rise from the dead; all anyone knows is that they're dead, they shuffle around, moan and groan a lot, hunger for the flesh of the living and can only be taken out by destroying their head."

The one wolfman wolfpack.

Whoever is bitten by a werewolf and lives becomes a werewolf himself.

Take this quiz

You didn't plan on becoming the Wolfman. After all, you were just wandering around the woods one night minding your own business when a strange looking dog bites you a little and suddenly you're turning into a hairy creature with pointy teeth and a thirst for blood. Luckily, you only have to worry about blacking out and mutilating livestock when there's a full moon, although your new silver allergy may make your next fancy dinner party a little awkward.

2 of my fav things in song form

A mostly true story about how I dressed up like a Stormtrooper for Halloween when I was 5 years old.
lyrics


I had an old white shirt and a store-bought mask
And a broken water gun within my grasp
My tattered pants were lined with electrical tape.
It was the greatest costume that was ever made

And I wish I could relive that holiday

When I dressed up like a Stormtrooper for Halloween
My dad was a ghost, my friend was Wolverine
And these memories will surely haunt my dreams tonight.

I marched down Fleetwood street in my black rubber boots
We went from door to door collecting our loot
I wouldn’t eat the candy in my pillow case
Because I refused to take the mask off my face

Now, I’m putting on my mask again
and lacing up my boots
With my son dressed up like Anakin
in his jedi costume
