  "account": "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.",
