ZANADU RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 10/31/12

BEDLAM #1

(W) Nick Spencer  (A) Riley Rossmo

Fillmore Press was once Madder Red, a homicidal maniac and criminal overlord who terrorized the town of Bedlam for years. Then he got better. This is what happens next. A double-sized introduction to a blood-soaked cityscape of murder, mayhem, and mystery by NICK SPENCER (MORNING GLORIES, THIEF OF THIEVES) and RILEY ROSSMO (REBEL BLOOD, GREEN WAKE)!

Can people truly change who they once were or are we forced to merely play the hand we are dealt? This is the question asked by Spencer and Rossmo's new macabre murder mystery, Bedlam. Dropping just in time for Halloween, this first issue is filled cover to cover with mayhem, violence and a blood soaked descent into the very depths of madness. While I may not be the biggest fan of Spencer, I love Rossmo's gritty, ink stained art and his ability to translate the most horrific of scenes into psychotic masterpieces. RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!

ZANADU RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 10/10/12

HALLOWEEN EVE

(W) Brandon Montclare  (A) Amy Reeder

Eve has an imagination that's more than active - it can be downright dangerous!  Working late at the costume super-store Halloween Land, she gets lost in her own thoughts until something goes bump in the night.  The rubber masks and plastic novelties are coming to life, and Eve must face ghosts, goblins, and gorilla suits made real.   High fantasy and heartbreak in an oversized holiday one-shot by BRANDON MONTCLARE (Fear Itself: Fearsome Four) and Eisner Award nominee Amy Reeder (Batwoman, Madame Xanadu).

Get into the Halloween spirit with this fantastic new one shot from Image comics! Fresh off her run on Batwoman, Amy Reeder brings her highly adaptable style full of energy and expression to this tale of ghouls, goblins and broken hearts with a delightfully creepy twist. RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!
