The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - October 2014
Any interest? Read at least one horror comic per day all month?
Just an idea to help us get thru our backlogs, generate discussion, and feed my OCD checklist mentality. |
Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
Hmm, I need to look at my backlog and see what I have for horror to read.
For original graphic novels are you thinking 20-22 pages equals an issue? |
Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
Ill def be interested in doing theme challenges to look for material id notmally over look

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
Not sure I could do it every day, but I bet I could read a number of issues over the month, so kind of like my mediocre performance in every watching challenge. :lol:
I recently finished the Afterlife with Archie TPB for no "credit," though. :brickwl2: |
Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
Cool, I have a bunch of Hellboy and BPRD to read, so I should be set. I also have the new 52 Animal Man run and that's pretty horrory, isn't it?

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
I don't have much by way of horror comics. Currently - Afterlife With Archie. Past - A lot of 70s DC House of Secrets and Vertigo books. But probably not enough left to fill an entire month.
I've read everything else that would qualify. |
Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
My line up would be
After life with archie Twd Bedlam Hack/slash Caliban Extinction parade Plus whatever i see yall read and looks interesting |
Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
I'll try to dig around and see what freebies would qualify. But I'm sure there are at least 31 free horror-ish titles on Dark Horse and Comixology.

If there are no objections I'll post a thread each month here, and we'll just follow the film Challenges. We'll need a substitute for at least one, September's Criterion. Any suggestions?

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
I'm reading a graphic novel right now about the Carter Family, but I wouldn't say that's outside my comfort zone. For me that would probably be a month of Liefeld books.

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
Id be in for this...I never read horror comics and it might be cool to switch it up. I'm just wondering what would qualify.
I have most of a books of magic run that i haven't read in years (a good portion of it i probably never read actually). Would that qualify? |

I have some House of Mystery and Eerie/Creepy Archives I can tap into. The EC Archives would be great too, though I might not have gotten around to picking any of those up. How about Sandman? |

As far as counting, I'm on the very liberal side with that, but I could see most people arguing that all of these Sandman-type Vertigo series are really just Dark Fantasy. Many individual issues or segments are quite horrific, but overall the focus isn't horror. |
Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
Id say being more open on what counts. Dark arts/magic should be ok like if someone read justice league dark id say it was ok
I do remember someone watching spiderman for the horror challenge! |

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
Whatcha think of the first volume?
that was one of the books that got me back interested in comics. I was let down by the first volume but got much better when it changed writers |

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
Going to bed, but tomorrow at work I'll try to find and link to all the freebies that qualify. I'm pretty sure there will be at least 31 of them between Dark Horse and Comixology. Plus with the secondary Free Comic Book Day coming up late in October, I'm sure they'll be several more.

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
I've been hoping to finish my I...Vampire trade paperback one of these days.

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
I'm planning on reading some horror comics this month. I might not get one a day, but I'm down for participating.

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
I don't have any horror comics, but it sounds fun to read at least a few.

Re: The First Annual DVDTalk Horror Comic Book Challenge - 2014
And here is a link to the main freebies at Comixology, looks like at least a few are definitely horror.
