It's a Halloween themed column this week, with reviews of

* THE LONELY TOMBSTONE, a new one shot from Steve and Nikki Niles
* I LUV HALLOWEEN Volume 1 from Keith Giffen and Benjamin Roman

And more. Really. I know what I want to jam into the column. There are at least four more titles I'd like to get in there if I have the time this afternoon. I have to finish reading one of them first. I'll update this thread later.

More reviews lined up for this week:

* MARVEL MONSTERS: DEVIL DINOSAUR and WHERE MONSTERS DWELL
* BART SIMPSON'S TREEHOUSE OF HORROR #11

Can you believe they've been doing this one for 11 years now? It's still fun to see what happens when you put classic comics artists to the test of drawing Springfield's finest. . .

I'll look forward to reading what you think about Where Monsters Dwell.

More added:

* THE SUPER SCARY MONSTER SHOW FEATURING LITTLE GLOOMY #2

I'm up over 4,000 words already. I think it's time to split this column into two. I have two additional books I'd like to add into this theme, but just don't have the time for this week. Why don't I put those in next week, chop out a couple of reviews this week, and call it a column?

We'll see what the final lineup winds up being on Tuesday.

And thanks for the cool links on those books, XIII. I'd still love to see Melusine translated over here. Sadly, I know what the American comics market looks like -- a humorous book in a cartoony style? Better luck next time. UGH
