Nocterra is such a damn good book. I've been pitching it to friends that enjoy movies but not comics as a John Carpenter penned script directed by George Miller.
@@NearMintCondition As far as I know some of them were collected in TPs. I still have my flips of the Frankenstein’s movie adaptation, Leatherface Vs Jason, etc ☺️
I couldn't quite get into the Silver Coin stories. Wasn't enough there to pull me in. Stray Dogs is AWESOME. I'm with you. The others I'm going to checkout thanks to you.
Nocterra is really good. Was picking up the single issues then saw a graphic novel release of it recently that was inexpensive that I wanted. Also enjoyed Vinyl from Image Comics, Nomen Omen, Die! Die! Die! and Fight Girls by Cho. I'll go back to the Spawn series, more recent additions of it, some of the Dynamite leads or strange crossovers they do with Horror Icons or elements of it. Hack/Slash did quite a few crossovers when I was collecting the omnibus editions. Great series. And Lady Death I'll pick up, though those don't always come out regularly, but I've been lucky to catch issues available in my local comic shop rather than join a kickstarter for it. I still want to get the volume 8 eBook of Saiko Takaki's Vampire Hunter D series--the only English version of it available is through that format or pick up a German language copy which is all I found. I've been hit or miss on manga for horror with the exception of Chainsaw Man being one of the best purchases and series I got this year. Also throw in Fist of the North Star and anything Junji Ito being immediate purchases this year. I got more than enough to read not included here. Never without a good book.
I got Stray Dogs cuz it has a bull terrier in it and I have a bull terrier and turns out Tony Fleese (sp?) has a bull terrier too! And bull terrier people know, they know.
I have read all these books except for Ultramega and agree on your reviews. I also want to recommend The Autumnal by Vault comics. It reminds me of Something Is Killing The Children mixed with a solid Stephen King story.
Double Walker is currently digital only on Comixology (on sale for a dollar! A steal) written by Michael Conrad, art by Noah Bailey, and letters by Taylor Esposito. It's like a scary fairy tale. Mixed with Scottish folklore, it's been the perfect spooky book to read this Halloween for me. (It should be available physically later on)
I've been reading my Spectre omnibus this month for the season. Was hoping to read my MMW Tomb of Dracula, but not looking like I'll get it thos month. Might bust out my Ghost Rider MMW though to refresh for when I pick up vol 3. If any of you all get the chance to grab the Spectre omnibus, do it! Some absolutely amazing fun horror stories
@@NearMintCondition I haven't read through the whole thing yet, but the beauty of that series if you can pick it up and read any issue for a good stand alone story. I haven't even used a bookmark, I just open it up and look for the nearest beginning of an issue and dig in. And yeah that art is on point, I think I've spent more time looking at the pages than actually reading the book.
I absolutely agree with Nocterra. Got the trade and I couldn’t put it down. Always been a Snyder fan, but the worldbuilding is really interesting. I liked Stray Dogs, but what kind of killed it for me was a major plot hole that happened as a result of events in issue 4. No spoilers, but that hole was just too big to ignore for me. Great artwork though!
Nice list, Omar. I got a couple of nice recommendations that I'll definitely look into. Also, I REALLY wanted to thank you for being so thorough with your warnings and disclaimers! Specifically, the heads up about animal abuse in Stray Dogs. As an animal rights activist, I would have been very upset if I brought that book home and read that. Lol. I'm not one of the weirdos who will chain myself to a tree outside Image's office in protest. I realize that it's just a book, and I have zero problem with anyone else enjoying it. But it's certainly not something I would want to see, so again, thanks very much for your consideration.
Of course, I completely understand and respect people that can't handle stories like that. Same with children dying in comics. I always try to be thorough when I can remember.
How's Hack Slash Deluxe Edition? Heard a lot bout it but no one mentions it..I really liked the art of Tim Seeley so was looking forward to read it.. Also, Stray Dogs and Silver Coin really sounds good..will check on it... My recent reads - The weatherman vol 1&2 The Creep, The fix vol 1,2 &3.. Blood Stain vol 1.2&3..
This October I’ve been reading a bunch of horror graphic novels that I don’t see many people talking about. I read all of Emily Carroll’s books that I could get my hands on, like Through the Woods and When I Arrived at the Castle, along with Cold Spots by Cullen Bunn and Severed and The Wake by Scott Snyder (gonna read Wytches on Halloween!)
Great list!! 3 of these are the ONLY single issues I read currently. UltraMega is the most fun comic I've ever read. Silver Coin got me hooked for life.
Kinda surprised ultra mega made the list, I thought it was more Sci fi personally. Anyways if you haven't check out a lot of the vault comics titles for pretty good horror, the plot, I walk with monsters, autumnal, etc.
Thank you for the suggestions. I wanted some Kaiju in there and it was fun. Not for people that like really creepy or scary stuff, but can stomach over the top violence.
hey omar had a question , the long halloween and catwoman in rome got deluxe treatment right ? so is dark victory getting it too ? got these 2 but wanted to know if i shud wait or just go ahead buy the existing tpb to complete loebs run . not much for horror but liked it all the same , algorithm gang!!!!!!!
I already looked a The Silver Coin but somehow it didn't sparked any interest since I'm normally not a huge Anathology fan but you got that intrested sparked and I did ordered it right away
Nocterra is such a damn good book. I've been pitching it to friends that enjoy movies but not comics as a John Carpenter penned script directed by George Miller.
Great way of describing it.
Missing the horror Topps Comics from the 90s in Halloween :( ... Old dudes like me will remember those comics
oh yeah, those were great. Did they ever collect those?
@@NearMintCondition As far as I know some of them were collected in TPs.
I still have my flips of the Frankenstein’s movie adaptation, Leatherface Vs Jason, etc ☺️
Nocterra sounds like a interesting concept!
It's good.
Trick r Treat is a great movie!! cant wait to see how the graphic novel compares!! also The Silver Coin caught my attention!
It's a great book, brother.
I couldn't quite get into the Silver Coin stories. Wasn't enough there to pull me in. Stray Dogs is AWESOME. I'm with you. The others I'm going to checkout thanks to you.
I hope you enjoy at least one more. :)
Loving the Halloween themed content.
Thank you. One more list, but it will be next week.

I need to check Autumnal. Thank you.

I'll have to check it out.
Hello. Have you read the comic series, House of Mystery before?
I'm so old my first reaction to a movie called Trick r Treat is the one with Gene Simmons and Skippy from Family Ties acting like a metal head, lol
HAHAHA. I loved Alex!
Ultra Mega you say...does one pick up Vol. 1 or hold out for a hardcover with the rest of the story?
I'm reading it now and I think all there is are the four issues collected.
Sorry, my mistake. It says to be continued at the end . . .
@@derekott1870 then I shall hold off
I've been reading my Spectre omnibus this month for the season. Was hoping to read my MMW Tomb of Dracula, but not looking like I'll get it thos month. Might bust out my Ghost Rider MMW though to refresh for when I pick up vol 3.

I need to get back to read that Spectre Omnibus. I love Aparo's art.

Vampironica is good
I'm going to check that one out.
@@NearMintCondition Nocterra and Stray dogs looks interesting. Probably pick them up. Thanks for the info and vids 💯💯💯 🔥🔥🔥 🙏🙏🙏 🦸🦸🦸👍👍👍
@@NearMintCondition awesome. Ya Archie comics aren't for everyone but I find them fun, easy to read and just kinda chill zone out and enjoy.
Just to add to the list Autumnal and Bitter Root are solid
I've covered Bitter Root a couple of times and Love it and I'm adding Autumnal to my list to read. Thank you.
I have them all!!! :D
They are all great.
All these books are literally HORROR-ble
My man!
Stray dogs was great. I hate seeing animals hurt and it hits hard but ends in a satisfying way, but heartbreaking at times
I absolutely agree with Nocterra. Got the trade and I couldn’t put it down. Always been a Snyder fan, but the worldbuilding is really interesting.
I liked Stray Dogs, but what kind of killed it for me was a major plot hole that happened as a result of events in issue 4. No spoilers, but that hole was just too big to ignore for me. Great artwork though!
Same, brother. LOVED it.

Ultramega is a great pick thanks for putting it on this list Omar.
You are so welcome. It's a fun book.
How's Hack Slash Deluxe Edition? Heard a lot bout it but no one mentions it..I really liked the art of Tim Seeley so was looking forward to read it..
Also, Stray Dogs and Silver Coin really sounds good..will check on it...
My recent reads - The weatherman vol 1&2
The Creep, The fix vol 1,2 &3.. Blood Stain vol 1.2&3..
It's not bad, for what it is. I'll do an overview of it when volume 2 comes out.
I am reading Battle Royale right now and I just got vol 1 of Tales from the Crypt today, so looking forward to that
LOVE that manga. Also Tales from the Crypt is top favorite of mine.
Favourite horror comics: Infidel, Abbott and Gideon Falls. Wanted to like Dracula MF. The art was great, story too thin
I need to read Abbott.
Might have to check out Ultraman based on what you said about it when speaking about UltraMega
Ultra man is the classic that so much is based on. Including Power Rangers.
Did anyone else geek out over the silence of the lamb's movie poster homage in stray dogs?
I LOVED it! There are also other homages in there.
Silver coin, Nocterra and Stray Dogs really caught my attention. Thank you.
So good.
Tried out Ultramega because of this vid and whew. Thanks for all you do, brother!
Great to hear that brother. That book was so fun.

I read all of Emily Carroll’s books that I could get my hands on, like Through the Woods and When I Arrived at the Castle, along with Cold Spots by Cullen Bunn and Severed and The Wake by Scott Snyder (gonna read Wytches on Halloween!)
I just finished Through the Woods and whoah. LOVED it. I need to read Cold Spots.
I have been collecting singles for all of your Image mentions. Another consolation mention is Haha and Ice Cream Man. Not horror exactly but spooky.
I did add Ice Cream Man to my Hidden Gems this month and Adding HaHa to read.
@@NearMintCondition loved your hidden gems as always!
Great list!! 3 of these are the ONLY single issues I read currently. UltraMega is the most fun comic I've ever read. Silver Coin got me hooked for life.
Thank you so much. Silver Coin is my Jam.
Kinda surprised ultra mega made the list, I thought it was more Sci fi personally. Anyways if you haven't check out a lot of the vault comics titles for pretty good horror, the plot, I walk with monsters, autumnal, etc.
Thank you for the suggestions. I wanted some Kaiju in there and it was fun. Not for people that like really creepy or scary stuff, but can stomach over the top violence.
Any input on Crawlspace by remender? I am wondering if it is worth the purchase.
Check out my hidden gems for this month. I actually talk about that book.
Do we knwow when aliens omnibus 4 goes up for pre order?
Probably in a month or so.
Don't forget Two Moons from image
On my list to read, brother.
hey omar had a question , the long halloween and catwoman in rome got deluxe treatment right ? so is dark victory getting it too ? got these 2 but wanted to know if i shud wait or just go ahead buy the existing tpb to complete loebs run .
not much for horror but liked it all the same , algorithm gang!!!!!!!
Dark Victory is also getting one. No word on Haunted Knight however. You are a good guy for the algorithm.
@@NearMintCondition heyy thanks , just so you know stray dogs is just wonderful ! saw it now downloaded it and read it now . so good .
I already looked a The Silver Coin but somehow it didn't sparked any interest since I'm normally not a huge Anathology fan but you got that intrested sparked and I did ordered it right away
Thanks for the Ultramega recommendation! Picked it up this weekend at the local comic shop and loving it!
The creepiest thing I’ve read this month, or pretty much ever, is Super-Dimensional Love Gun. Creepy damn Manga.
Okay Im checking that out.
I cannot wait to get nocterra. Snyder is probably my favourite writer. That tony Daniel artwork is superb.😲 Probably pick up silver coin as well
I hope it gets an OHC.
Not a fan of horror in general but thanks for the short overview of Stray Dogs, I always wondered what the hype was all about.
It's a good book. That will tear you apart. :)
Can't wait for Nocterra to hit the movie screen
Ohh that would be awesome.
