I'll start with Batman: Harvest Breed.



I know it got some bad reviews and the illustration style is kind of difficult to get used to, but I grew to like it. Batman against demons or vampires just seems to work--Batman: Crimson Mist is another suggestion.



And please don't turn this into a debate about this or that story. Just post the graphic novels/comic books you have read or would like to read that are in the horror genre or that would be good Halloween reads. Simple, right?

In the interest of being as obvious as possible, I'll say Batman: The Long Halloween.

9/12/2007 5:02:08 AM

^ Thanks for the mercy post, vinylbandit. This seems like a perfectly good topic to me.

9/12/2007 1:03:36 PM

9/12/2007 1:29:08 PM

30 Days of Night was really good. Apparently, this is a series but I only read the one--and I think a movie about this is due out this year. Not sure, though.

9/12/2007 2:03:39 PM

Is that the one about the folks in alaska being attacked by zombies?

9/12/2007 2:57:42 PM

^ The one I posted is about vampires. Is there a similar zombie story?

9/12/2007 3:09:37 PM

he meant vampires

9/12/2007 3:28:25 PM

Yea I saw the zombie marvel one when I was stocking up on missed Y the Last Mans. Still need to pick those up.

Also, you can't go wrong with some From Hell

9/12/2007 8:41:01 PM

I Am Legend

9/12/2007 9:15:49 PM

Gotham By Gaslight

with dope violin music

9/12/2007 10:03:56 PM

I second The Long Halloween

9/12/2007 11:29:36 PM

Good horror funnybooks?

Warren Ellis' Black Gas (Black Gas 2, notsomuch)
Tag (Tag: Cursed, also good)
The Walking Dead (phenomenal!!!)
Hack/Slash

Marvel Zombies isn't exactly horror, but it's still good times.

Batman: The Long Halloween is also non-horror goodness, but if you're referencing Batman stories from word go then you probably already knew that.

9/13/2007 5:38:43 AM

Marvel Zombies is always fun, but I see that Marvel is also releasing this collection next month that fits the horror genre.

Quote :

^ Wow. That looks interesting.

9/13/2007 5:44:20 PM

I haven't read this one, but it looks good:

9/17/2007 1:08:11 AM

Some of ya'll need to stop hatin' and get me some damn comic books up in this motherfucker!

9/22/2007 2:42:15 AM

I just read Walking Dead 1-42 because i was bored at work. Its a great freaking comic.

9/22/2007 2:57:03 AM

^ Thanks. I'll check it out.

9/22/2007 4:27:52 AM

laurel k hamilton writes about a necromancer who's main job is raising the dead, but who's side profession is hunting vampires... they've made it into a graphic novel, looks pretty good.

9/22/2007 9:57:35 PM

^ Thanks--that does sound good. I've added it to my list.

9/23/2007 4:33:57 AM

The preview for the 30 days of night movie looked pretty good.

9/23/2007 9:41:31 AM

BTTT

In the Marvel Zombies one, everyone turns into a zombie because of some disease or other, right? Then why wasn't Wolverine or anyone else with advanced healing able to develop a resistance to it?

10/1/2008 1:45:57 PM

I haven't read these, but they look pretty good.

10/23/2008 3:34:04 AM

^^ Because they're freaking zombies. It even points out how their regenerative powers don't work anymore. Something funny even happens to Wolverine in the book because of that.

Just finished The Nobody by Jeff Lemaire... not really scary, but it does involve an interesting re-telling of the Invisible Man story.

I think the 30 Days of Night series, particularly the first three books, are great Halloween reading. The batman books already mentioned in this thread, along with Batman- The Cult, Batman- Hush, and Arkham Asylum:A Serious House on Serious Earth, are also great.

10/8/2009 5:26:47 PM

BATMAN: Haunted Knight

and

BATMAN: The Long Halloween

by Loeb and Sale

Great graphic novels

10/8/2009 7:30:34 PM

10/20/2009 11:11:02 AM

When did that come out?

The DCU Halloween special comes out tomorrow

I'm headed to foundations edge after work to pick up the new stuff this week

10/20/2009 6:10:24 PM

I picked up the Walking Dead - Book One today. So far so good.

10/24/2009 2:20:45 PM

^^ 2008 (1-6). 2009 for the graphic novel.

Thanks for the DCU Halloween edition info. I'll check it out.

10/24/2009 3:12:46 PM

BOO

9/1/2010 9:55:06 AM

Check out Dylan Dog. It's a famous Italian comic about a nightmare investigator. It's scary, funny, and romantic. I loved it. http:////www.amazon.com/Dylan-Dog-Case-Files/dp/1595822062/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283358824&sr=8-1

I also enjoy the Vertigo Crime series for all their pulpy goodness.
