I just pull out my issues of “Dark Horse Presents” with “Homicide” in it and take them for a spin.
Wow I'm here early!
Chris have you watched mad god?
I've recently read some body horror manga and i must say i found it quite good. Junji Ito's Spirals and Gyo.
I've also really enjoyed the current hulk run. very glad to see hulk going back to horror after the smashtronaut stuff which was so unfocused and had such poor characterization it gave me jason aaron hulk flashbacks
brb. going for a walk then going to watch this asap
Thanks for the recommendations!
I like the current Ghost Rider book more than the current Hulk book.
Fun thx
Ribbon Queen by Garth Ennis is dope as hell. My favorite horror book coming out right now by a mile.
Chris did you see Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones are working together on a set of Dracula graphic novels? Sounds so cool!
I am waiting for the reflection to turn around like a ghost..
What a trash series Clementine is. I don't think anyone who played the game likes it
What are your thoughts on The Sickness by Launa Nadler & Jenna Cha published by Uncivilized books. I wanted this book on you're list just so i could hear your thoughts on it. Your opinions on comics and creative teams are important and thoughtful and are greatly appreciated
How was there no Junji Ito or Jeff Lemire on this list? No Tombs or Ten Thousand Black Feathers?
2 horror comics that my husband and I really like this year are “ I hate this place” which also has a more explicit name, and “The Neighbors”.
I love horror comics. Always underrated.
Really enjoyed The Nice House on the Lake, Door x Door Night x Night, and especially Cullen Bunns new series The Midnite Show(absolutely love this one so far)
Thanks for the episode
Thumbnail has horor instead of horror btw
Would Ed Piskor's recent 'Crypto Killers' comics have been in the running for this, or do you not consider those to be 'horror' books?
Any love for DCeased or DC vs Vampires?
Bah, missed this live. Didn't think it was going to be a stream.
Black and white is the best format for horror comics,
I thank manga for teaching me that🧐
Phantom Road by Jeff Lemire is great. only issue 6 comes out i think next month, so it's really early on. slow burn, but I am enjoying it.
Good Work Chris.
I hope you and the Famy have a nice Halloween. 👻
Cheers!
…JoE…
I go to my LCS for new comics every week, but when I see one of these roundup lists from Chris, I realize he reads way more comics than I do. Despite being a horror fan in general, I don’t think I read 10 distinct horror titles this year.
The greatest era of horror comics was the 70s (undergrounds) and 80s (medium sized publishers). EC was great, groundbreaking/taboo-destroying, but not the "best".
aint no way where monsters lie is better than something is killing the children – total disagreement.
agree clementine was very good.
I hope you’re talking about my horror comic in a list like this someday. Thanks for the great recommendations!
Comics are such a visual medium, these recommendations aren't working for me without getting excited by seeing the art. In your past lists like this, I went and got things because the art you showed motivated me. I understand you're very busy right now, but this would have been so much better with art and without superchats.
Thanks for the recommendations! I suggest checking out the PTSD Radio omnibuses released this year. Great horror manga
I loved reading Night of the Ghoul! Scott Snyder is one of my favorites and Francavilla’s artwork for the parts that took place in the past was fantastic. Really captured the old black and white horror vibe of the WWII era.
