Army of Darkness: Ash Gets Hitched (#4)

Well, this is the conclusion to this current four part series that saw Ash stay back in time, battle evil and marry Shelia. In this issue he comes face to face against the faceless one (see what I did there?) and, with his resourcefulness, KICKS HIS ASS! That's right folks! Ash saves the day, marries Shelia and everything is groovy...until he gets drunk and says the words. Yes! The one time he actually remembers the words! This time it sucks him up and, guessing by the next title coming out soon, he may end up in a place where no idiot has gone before. That's right! ASH IN SPACE! This story, now that it has concluded was funny and a good story. With my original fears going unfounded, I am happy with how the overall story played out. This is something you'd expect from the character and I would of loved them to continue the previous story lines of Ash in the now but, this has worked pretty good so far. What more could you ask? Now, I am a little hesitant about Ash in space but, who knows. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised...guess we'll see as the art and story telling have been top notch so far.

Walking Dead: Volume 22 - A New Beginning

On with the new trade paperback and it begins in a state of....peace? Well the war is over, Negan is in jail (YES THEY MADE A JAIL JUST FOR HIM!), Carl is moving out, Rick is having a hard time and the communities are rebuilding civilization. A new group is brought in (who are skeptic at least) and, just when it seems that all is well, settling down with the happy ending in sight....a new enemy is introduced at the very end. This seems to be genius! How they operate, what they do....I can't wait to see where they head with this! A new beginning indeed as the communities are now thriving and, looking on the brighter side of life with the unknown threat outside their walls. Robert Kirkman and company are doing an amazing job. Dammit, they should be writing the show cause these books are just pure gold! They are hard to put down and, if they even turned them into a cartoon (black and white of course!) I'd be glad.

The Goon: Occasion of Revenge (#3 of 4)

So, as the war wages on, the Goon gets the help he needs by protecting an over privileged brat. With the Goon's girlfriend (or someone who looks like her?) leaks some information to this guy's protection and he shoots him which puts the Goon in a really really really really really tight spot and can hurt his chances at the war. What will happen in the final issue? I guess we'll find out when it drops!

The Goon: Occasion of Revenge (#2 of 4)

The Goon is one of the most compelling and awesome characters today. So, with a war against a coven of witches looking to take over the town. In this issue, The Goon is looking for some help from the outside, is in love, Franky waking up to a shit covered clock, we find out more about the lockjaw and a little bit about one of his adversaries. Eric Powell's art and story is great as revenge is on the plate that is being served.

Ghost (#9)

Well, the cover is a little misleading as to what is happening in this issue as the fight between Ghost is with herself and what she wants to with her powers. Thus, the fight shown on the cover is more metaphorical but pretty awesome. The question though as she begins to take the underground on, how far will the Ghost go? When is it going too far? When she will cross the line that she cannot go back? Read on to find out as the story just gets more interesting.

Jerry Vayne - From Darkness... They Become! Vol: 2

Looking for that soundtrack to play in order to enhance that haunted house you worked so hard designing for those poor unsuspecting trick 'r' treaters coming to your door? Try this release form Jerry Vayne. Take some kick ass riffs, make some headbanging songs and you have what easily could be a soundtrack for any modern Horror flick. This music makes great background music but, it is also  nice to listen to. Basically, a nice heavy mood setting if you will that will kick your ass and take a bite out of you before it ever even thinks of putting you down and to sleep. It's hard to pick standouts because they blend to nicely together in a way that makes you feel it is just one really epic long song (that you don't even notice the length too!). This is labeled as haunt music and it does a great job at it. If you can't decide on which band you wanna blast this Halloween for all to hear give this a spin....this should be able to scare all those little kiddies straight and sending them running home while leaving their candy behind for you to enjoy!

The Ghoolz - The Ghoolz

Hailing from Michigan, this 50's influenced Horror Rock band takes from the decade you love while injecting it with new blood! Catchy Doo-Wop lyrics with some great and catchy music that, together, create a winning formula. This stunning debut is a great and fun album to listen to for this upcoming Halloween season..... or have playing loudly for all to hear whenever someone comes to your door at least. Standouts include "Atomic Grave", "The Ghost of James Dean", "Day of the Dead", "Teenage Zombie Girl", "A Plentiful Feast", "Creature", "The Ghoolz", "Hellena", "Get Her Fix" and "Shoot'em Dead". So, if you like some Rockabilly with your monsters, check out The Ghoolz. This release has me drooling and wondering what they will do to follow this release up and I will keep my ears open for future releases from them.
