Confession:
This lifelong comic book fan has never cosplayed for a comicon or Halloween.
Last Halloween I did an impromptu Cyclops with a genetically altered with X-Men gear track jacket and a pair of visors that would impress Scott Summers.
This year I may actually go out as a superhero for Halloween and this would be a test run for Emerald City Comicon 2015. Continue reading HAVOK HALLOWEEN

The most frightening horror stories play upon primal fears or fairy tales from hell. As we approach Halloween I’m sharing some scary comic book tales you should try and here’s why you should dive into The Wake by writer Scott Snyder (Batman) and artist Sean Murphy. This is one of my favorite new series of 2013.
The creators of this Vertigo book spared the tights and turned up the creep factor! No superheroes here. This is the kind of graphic storytelling you share with non-comic book fans to demonstrate why you love the medium. It’s a tense tale worthy of The X-Files or Torchwood.
After a brief glimpse at a post-Apocalyptic future the story turns to Gig Harbor, Washington where Continue reading Halloween Comic Book Horror: The Wake

At a Very Corgi Halloween at Green Lake in Seattle, owners of corgis gathered for this annual celebration of cool and cute pets on parade for the holiday.
Dozens of corgis showed off their best Halloween spirit Saturday.
As we count down to Halloween I want to share some “so good they’re scary” comic book stories you should give a try…if you dare!
One of my all-time favorite Spider-Man stories is Kraven’s Last Hunt. This classic final showdown between Peter Parker and Sergei Kravinoff was also known as Fearful Symmetry.
An obsessed killer and a monster in the sewer are classic horror movie elements and drive this comic book tale of terror. Of all of Spidey’s horrific costumed villains it’s the pure insanity of Kraven’s eyes and sense of purpose that give me chills. Continue reading HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN Scary Spider-Man Story
