As many of you are aware, Halloween is a holiday near and dear to old Son of Cthulhu's heart. That means horror comics get reviewed and a lot of them. 31 comics, to be exact. That's right! We are off this week to prepare for Halloween 2018 POST-A-DAY , a month long celebration of horror comics that we simply could not do without some prep time.  We hope to see all of you back here October 1st for some spooky and crappy horror books that we will try our best to derive some enjoyment out of. One way or another.  See you then!
