5 new comics to read in October, including Marvel's new horror line
Start the spooky season off right with the best comics of October, including the return of The Bride Of Frankenstein and Jonah Hex.
October brings five noteworthy comics, including Marvel's new horror line, the Midnight Universe. The first is Midnight Spider-Man #1, featuring a horror western, a surreal silent graphic novel, and a cheeky equiphile memoir. Midnight X-Men pits mutants against vampires, while Midnight Fantastic Four gives the Fantastic Four a Lovecraftian twist.
Philip Kennedy Johnson's Midnight Spider-Man imagines a body horror transformation for Peter Parker. Jonathan Djob Nkondo's Wandering, without text, immerses readers in two contrasting environments - a sci-fi cityscape and a desert landscape. DC starts the month with Jonah Hex And The Shadow Of Death, a six-issue miniseries where the scarred gunslinger fights a supernatural threat.
Meanwhile, Lisa Hanawalt's memoir, I Can't Stop Thinking About Horses And Sex, explores her obsession with horses and the complexities of her sexual desires. Universal Monsters: The Bride Of Frankenstein Lives returns to the character after a less-than-impressive year, with Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis bringing their trademark creativity to the project.
