Star Trek: Holo-Ween #1 launched this week with three covers. Cover 1A and RI both have art by Francesco Francavilla that features Captain Picard and Deanna Troi running from Redjac aka Jack the Ripper. Cover 1B has art by Suspiria Vilchez that features Troi screaming with a giant Medusa head in the backgorund. I won't spoil the story but some of the crew gets turned into monsters.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 14: Chilling Adventures of Salem One-Shot
Chilling Adventures of Salem #1 is a one-shot special from Archie Horror. There are two covers with Cover A by Dan Schoening and Matt Herms while Cover B by Francesco Francavilla. The story is appropriate for Halloween and I think Salem should get his own series since I love talking black cats.

Countdown to Halloween 2020 Day 23: Madam Satan #1
I'll admit that I have yet to read all of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or watched any episodes of the Netflix's series with the same name. However, I had to read Madam Satan #1 and I'm so glad that I did. This is a very good one-shot issue from Archie Horror and I highly recommend picking it up while you can. Madame Satan #1 was released on October 21, 2020 so you might still find a copy at your local comic book shop.
For those who don't know, Madam Satan actually made her first appearance on the cover of Pep Comics #15 (May 1941) published by MLJ Comics, which eventually became Archie Comics. She didn't actually appear inside until #16 and her series lasted until #21. A certain teenager named Archie Andrews replaced her in Pep Comics #22. A second version of her with the name Madame Satan appeared in The Fox #1 (October 2013) from Dark Circle Comics (formerly Red Circle Comics). She returned a year later with the original spelling of her name in the last pages Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #1 (October 2014). Michelle Gomez portrays her on the Netflix series.
There are actually two different covers. The regular cover is by Julius Onta while the variant cover is by Robert Hack (I'm partial to Onta's cover):
There is Madam Satan pinup by Francesco Francavilla:
Even the back cover of Madam Satan #1 will make you shiver:
In case your wondering, 2020 marks the fifth anniversary of Archie Horror.

Master of Kung-Fu gets New Mini-Series And World
According to Shang-Chi Gets New Series & New World in 'Master of Kung-Fu', is set in a Battleworld, which merges worlds and sets up the events in Marvel's upcoming Secret Wars event. This new Shang-Chi will be the offspring of an ancient sorcerer Zu instead of Fu Manchu. He will be living in "K’un Lun, a land where the study of martial arts reigns supreme". Other familiar Marvel characters that will appear include Rand-Kai (Danny Rand aka Iron Fist), Kitty/Kitten and Lockheed, Caliban, Cypher, Wolfsbane/Rahne, Marrow, Typhus (Typhoid Mary), and Red Sai (Elektra). Francesco Francavilla provides the covers for this Master of Kung-Fu mini-series while the story was written by Haden Blackman and illustrated by Dalibor Talajic.
This might be fun just for the different twist on Shang-Chi.

Dark Shadows #23
I was very disappointed with Dark Shadows #23 from Dynamite. This is the final issue of the series and felt rushed in a bad way. Mostly it centers around Emma, David Collins' friend that was turned into a vampire earlier in the series. She is seen talking to a shrink in a mental hospital before narrating flashbacks telling what happened to her after she escaped the possessed Barnabas Collins and his evil vampire crew. Emma tried to head back to David but was intercepted by Quentin Collins and his vampire hunter crew. Thanks to Blair's magic, Emma was shown several alternate futures with all of them having her turning David into a vampire. They buried her and she dreams of happier times. However, her story was far from done and she was unearthed by Barnabas and Jackie twenty years later. She was made human by the magical necklace that caused all the problems in the first place before she noticed a grown up David sitting in the car. Of course, the shrink doesn't believe all this and starts to take the magical necklace off. That's it and there is no mention of how the good Barnabas regained possession of his body. I would have liked at least one of two more issues before this one. I still like the cover art by Francesco Francavilla and the interior artwork by Nacho Tenorio.

Barnabas Collins' Confession In Dark Shadows #9
Halloween may be over but Dynamite's Dark Shadows is still going strong. Issue #9 has a another cool cover by Francesco Francavilla:
My favorite part is when Quentin Collins asks Barnabas Collins how many times he has used his mind-controlling trick. The vampire actually confesses that he has lost count.

Countdown To Halloween 2012 Day 12: Dark Shadows #8
Dynamite's Dark Shadows #8 has creepy cover by Francesco Francavilla:
Nacho Tenorio did the interior illustrations while Carlos Lopez did the coloring. My favorite scene is page twelve when Quentin Collins, a werewolf, wakes up Barnabas Collins, a vampire, in the daytime:
