Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 1: DC Horror Presents: Sgt Rock vs the Army of the Dead #1 Cover A

To kick off the first day of this year's Countdown to Halloween, it seems appropriate to showcase DC Horror Presents: Sgt Rock vs the Army of the Dead #1 cover A. The issue was released earlier this week from DC Comics. Gary Frank and Brad Anderson did the cover art of cover A and there are five variant covers (none of which I have seen yet). Actor and author Bruce Campbell wrote the six issue mini-series while Eduardo Risso did the interior artwork and Kristian Risso did the interior colors. There will be plenty of Nazi zombies for Easy Company to fight in 1941 and I can't wait for the second issue.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 9: DC Love Is A Battlefield 80-page Giant #1

"BLAM! KRACK! POW! Look out-it’s…love?! Falling in love is rough, even for DC’s greatest. Watch as Batman and Catwoman, Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor, Mister Miracle and Big Barda, and all the rest of your OTPs fight in vain against the all-powerful forces of romance (and super-villains)! Even Amanda Waller fights the urge to bail on her mystery date. We guarantee that this Valentine’s Day, someone’s taking a shot to the heart-from Cupid’s bow!"

Characters and stories featured in DC Love Is A Battlefield 80-page Giant #1 include: Batman and Catwoman in "Perfect Matches", Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor in "Bittersweet", Amanda Waller and Perry White in "Loose Lips", Kid Flash and Red Arrow in "A Tale of Two Titans", Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy in "The Beginning", Hawkman and Hawkwoman in "Together Forever", Mister Miracle and Big Barda in "Anniversary", Nightwing and Starfire in "Ex-Position", Sgt. Rock in "Able" and John Stewart and Fatality in "The Heart Wants".

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 5: DCeased #4 Cover

The cover to DCeased #4 features Sgt. Rock and Easy Company being ambushed by zombified versions of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. I really would have liked to see this battle take place inside this issue. Instead, the highlights include a giant zombified Giganta attacking Metropolis and a microscopic zombified Atom causing Captain Atom to go nuclear in Washington, D.C..

Christmas Countdown 2014 Day 4: DC Super Star Holiday Special Part 2

Today's Christmas Countdown 2014 continues the look at DC Super Star Holiday Special (Spring 1980).

The House of Mystery story is actually three short stories told by the horror hosts at DC Comics. The three witch sisters (Morded, Mildred, and Cynthia) from The Witching Hour tells one followed by Cain telling another. Destiny from Secrets of Haunted House breaks in to tell a story. The Phantom Stranger and Madame Xanadu shows up after everyone starts bickering. Poor Abel never gets to tell his tale.
