I was hoping to get some ideas on what to add to my reading queue. I haven't read a ton of comics in the horror genre, but what I've read I've really enjoyed. My experience is in reading Crossed, A Walk Through Hell, Locke and Key, Nos4a2, all of the Hill House books.

While not horror, I also enjoyed the style/stories of Invincible, The Boys, Mercury Heat, Scalped, Preacher, Transmetropolitan, Y the Last Man, Watchmen.

I'm open to anything, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

There's a lot I really enjoyed in this anthology-ish series (definitely picking up the next TPB whenever I get around to ordering them online)

Things I enjoyed:

-the filthy griminess of the city. How it feels like you're likely to cross a psychopath every five steps you take

-the anthology aspect and the ways characters cross over in each others stories.

-the worldbuilding of this place Sinkhill. How the criminal element of it functions

-the trans woman being portrayed respectfully, while absolutely kicking transphobe ass

-Most of the main cast is so colourful

I need more stuff like this. I've read quite some horror comics, but I can't really remember anything I've read that quite hits the spot like this series

We're nearing the end of the month!

Prior to reading it Id never even heard of this book. Dan Schaffer, who I'm not familiar with, is both the writer.ams artist and it was published by 1First Comics/Devil's Due back in 2016. The premise and setting is almost entirely that of The Shallows, the shark movie starring Blake Lively, which also came out in 2016 so it's impossible to tell if there was any inspiration drawn from either.

A small plane carrying an A-List actor and some film crew goes.down in the Pacific on the way to a location shoot in Hawaii,.and the only survivor is a an 18-year old girl named Willa who is basically a paid intern/gopher/aspiring actress with a tiny walk-on part. The part of the ocean they crash in is called "The Great White Cafe". Willa salvages a satellite phone from the wreckage and the entire comic is her floating on a piec of the wing whioe talking to various people on the phone trying to get rescued.

Thia book is AWESOME.

There was a lot.of genuine tension that triggered my anxiety, and

SPOILER ALERT

It had surprisingly had very little to do with the the sharks, who ultimately are revealed to be the least dangerous and harmful of seberap different predators Willa has to contend with.

Solo character in a single, small setting movies are very hit or miss for me, but when they hit they're among my favorites. Examples I love are: Saw, Hours, Buried and 127 Hours. I was really surprised by both how much I enjoyed this but also how well the story setting adapted to the medium of comics, and I think this would make a killer movie.

I'd love to hear from anyone else who's ready this but I'm not getting my hopes up

None of the first 4 issues of this Boom book has made the WPL, and I'm sure it doesn't help that horror anthologies are ubiquitous, especially this time of year. While the other stories aren't anything special, The War is one of the best things currently being written. It's probably only second to The Nice House By The Sea on the list of comics most look forward to reading each month. I really enjoy restrained Ennis: 303, Red Team, Sara, Punisher MAX (much more than his Punisher run with Dillon) Soviet, The Platoon My War Gone By, Peacemaker, Get Fury, Ribbon Queen, Get Fury and I'm currently reading Caliban. I can honestly say this is as good as anything he's written.

It's only horror in that it's a slow burn psychological thriller that is framed around current real world events (the Russia/Ukraine war). The first 3 entries were great but HOLY WTF the 4th part took things to a new level, with two scenes that were genuinely among the most disturbing things I've read/seen in any fiction medium.

Hopefully this will be released as a separate trade, but if you're into intense, psychological suspense thrillers that will make you extremely uncomfortable at points, PLEASE read this Boom.

My new comic is out now! www.avoccomics.com

This would be the early '90s. I picked up a black-and-white horror comic/magazine while out with my mom. It may have had more than one story in it. What I remember vividly is a panel with a prisoner/mental institution inmate biting his fingernail, tearing the nail off. At the end of the story, he ends up on the roof, bare-ass naked, crouched down with his arms out to the sides. However, in this position, his arms were UNDER his knees. I don't remember if he's transforming into something or just crazy and thinks he is.

Does this happen to sound familiar to anyone?
