i luv halloween — vol. 1, 2 & 3 — keith griffen (author) & benjamin roman (illustrator)

A totally dis­turb­ing, but hilar­i­ous story about a group of chil­dren going trick-or-treating with Halloween.

The leg­end goes that what sort of candy you get at the first house pre­dict what the loot will be for the rest of the night. And it so hap­pens Finch and his bud­dies get apples from the old lady who lives at the first house. Not a good omen and the granny will pay for this!

Be amazed about the plan the ter­ri­ble and ter­ri­fy­ing bunch comes up with and have fun read­ing how it acts out.

Nicole Hayes has a tal­ent for day­dream­ing. She has a dream jour­nal in which she writes her fan­tas­tic story about a sor­cerer and his famil­iar. Mean­while in real life she stud­ies busi­ness at uni­ver­sity and has a job as sec­re­tary.

But on the other hand, he has a jar full of girl’s phone num­bers. The only thing is, he only has eyes for Nicole. A shame that this is not a mutual feel­ing. Unless…

the dark goodbye — vol.2 — frank marraffino (author) & drew rausch (illustrator)

This is the sec­ond vol­ume of Max “Mutt” Mason’s adven­tures in the crazy world he lives in. In this vol­ume it becomes more clear of what is hap­pen­ing to the earth in gen­eral and the city Los Allende in par­tic­u­lar. It looks like dark mat­ter is tak­ing over the vis­i­ble mat­ter the world exists of, cre­at­ing the most hor­ri­ble crea­tures and viruses mak­ing the gen­uine human race as pris­on­ers — read as valu­able enzymes — the crea­tures need to stay alive.
The ques­tion now is, can “Mutt” take on this dark mat­ter or will he be swal­lowed as well?
