It’s the last day of August, which means it’s time to start thinking about Halloween season, with autumn breaking through and all this 100 degree temperature heat will at least start to fade. We’re looking forward to the national Halloween ComicFest the weekend of October 26-27, 2013 and Elite Comics’ Comic Book Day of the Dead.
Dark Horse Comics and Sequential Pulp Comics are releasing a hardcover volume this month with a great holiday themed adventure involving a group of odd superheroes. The Halloween Legion: The Great Goblin Invasion
Appropriate for all ages, The Halloween Legion
Here is a video preview of the book:
Visually the style is similar to Mike Mignola’s artwork, with the Skeleton looking as if he could operate in the world of Hellboy pretty easily. Featuring lots of fall color and places, its a nice holiday book that has its own style much like Lee Bermejo’s Batman: Noel. For kids reading the book, the dark never gets too dark and the action stays pretty lighthearted throughout. The angst-ridden teen named Molly is a central character that will appeal to most readers. The hardcover also includes a short story “Once Upon a Halloween.”
