Artist Jeff Zornow got in touch to share some artwork and info about the upcoming Halloween comics from Devil’s Due. If you never picked up the recently released Halloween: Nightdance mini (or trade paperback collection), shame on you - it was the Halloween sequel most faithful to John Carpenter’s original but that you’ll never see [...]

August 15th, 2008 · 10 Comments · New Reviews, Random Violence

“Look what you did to me!”

He Said, She Said… Retro Style

August 11th, 2008 · 13 Comments · Random Violence

Well, I finally saw Don’t Go in the House and… drum roll please… I LIKED IT! A LOT!
