My Rating “Part 2: Prophet of Doom” Doctor Doom has arrived at Strange Academy in New Orleans to commandeer Zoe Laveau for his latest magical experiment, but the Midnight Suns have gathered in defense of the school. A battle appears inevitable, yet Doom has already lost before anyone casts the first spell. Agatha Harkness has
My Rating “And Unto Dracula Was Born A Son” Several quail erupt from a dense shrub as a bloodcurdling scream shakes them from their slumber. This remote section of the Transylvanian forest is historically quiet, but tonight, talk of witchcraft fills the air. A local woman stands accused of signing a compact with the Devil,
My Rating Review Halloween is almost upon us and this year Marvel Comics has released a second one-shot book inspired by its infamous horror series Crypt of Shadows. Crypt of Shadows originally ran from 1973 through 1975, lasting for 21 issues. The first books featured reprint stories from earlier works, but to compete with the
My Rating “Dracula” It was a grueling 32-hour trip from New York to the Drake family’s ancestral homeland, inconveniently located somewhere in the heart of Transylvania. The flight layovers were long, the food was terrible, and now Frank, Clifton, and Jeanie are stuck driving up a narrow mountain road in the middle of a nasty
My Rating “Not Fade Away” Backstage at the Wormwood Amphitheater, Arnold Burnsteel watches as Nina Skorzeny, Jake Ketchum, and Philbert Hoskins prepare to take the stage. Tonight isn’t just another Scare Tactics concert. This show is a farewell to their fallen friend and bandmate, Jimmy Tilton. Slither was one of them. Unfortunately, Jimmy’s mutations eventually
My Rating “Assisters of Mercy” 2:30 a.m.—high above the darkened streets of Gotham City, its most famous landmark suddenly illuminates the night sky. The Bat-Signal is shining over police headquarters, but there’s one small problem: Commissioner Gordon didn’t turn it on. Within twenty minutes, Gordon comes crashing through the front doors of Gotham City Police
My Rating “Gotham Atrocity” Gotham City, where the creeps never sleep! Nina Skorzeny is busy slam dancing the night away inside a local punk club when a very familiar song starts blasting through the speakers. Wait a minute! That’s a Scare Tactics song—and nobody in the band gave these guys permission to use it. Has
My Rating “Undead — and Loving It / Wild Things” Late at night, high above on the rooftops of the Gotham Natural History Museum, Catwoman flees from her latest heist. The silver spear was easy to remove from the stone sarcophagus but getting it past the weird priest looking dudes armed with machine guns was
My Rating “Snake Oil” Jimmy Tilton is sick and the group has no idea what to do. The once human turned into a snake like metahuman drifts in and out of consciousness. The memories of his childhood were always bad. All those doctors and all those treatments were nothing compared to the experiments. Jimmy’s father
My Rating “Convergence Part 04 of 04” Late night at the club, Scare Tactics easily shreds the competition in the battle of the bands (no pun intended, they literally shredded them). Meanwhile Etrigan jumps from the pits of hell into the mosh pit! The scene becomes a full on Donnybrook brawl. Good guys two, bad
