Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 9: Vengeance of Vampirella #1 Covers

Dynamite Entertainment is giving Vengeance of Vampirella a second volume for her fiftieth anniversary. The first volume debuted in 1994 and it was a great series. The original writer of the first volume, Tom Sniegoski, is back. The story takes place twenty-five years in the future with a destroyed Vampirella and Mistress Nyx has created a gloomy world. There are five covers for Vengeance of Vampirella and they are pretty cool.

Crafter's Square Halloween Ceramic Painting Sets

I picked up four Crafter's Square Halloween Ceramic Painting Sets at the Dollar Tree that opened just a few months ago. Each of them has a three inch tall unpainted ceramic figurine, three paint set and a paintbrush. Each figurine has a hook in the top of their heads with a loop of string. Unfortunately, the only paint colors are orange, purple and black. I couldn't resist them since they were a dollar each.

There is a Dracula Ceramic Painting Set:

There is a Frankenstein's Monster Ceramic Painting Set:

There is a Pumpkinhead Ceramic Painting Set:

Finally, there is a Witch Ceramic Painting Set:

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 7: DCeased: A Good Day To Die #1 Cover

While DCeased #6 won't be out until November, there is a one-shot special. Mister Miracle, Big Barda, Blue Beetle and Mr. Terrific fight a horde of zombies on the cover of DCeased: A Good Day To Die #1. Mr. Terrific gathers Mister Miracle, Big Barda, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold to try to save the world from zombies. They try to recruit John Constantine, Fire and Ice. Unfortunately, the magician refuses and the superheroines are now zombies. The best part of this issue is Constantine's attitude towards Waverider and Dr. Fate. The cliffhanger ending could easily lead to another special in the future.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 6: DCeased #5 Cover

Wonder Woman faces a zombified Superman armed with a sword and shield on the cover of DCeased #5. In this issue, Lex Luthor offers a truce to Superman in order to help the human race survive. He suggests leaving earth in arks while Superman refuses to leave. Gotham City becomes a jungle haven thanks to Poison Ivy while the Amazons of Themyscira welcome survivors of both sexes. They start building arks before a zombified Martian Manhunter invades the Fortress of Solitude where all the superheroes are gathered. Superman then finds out what happens when he flies faster than a speeding bullet into a zombified Flash that is running faster than the speed of sound (it's not pretty, folks).

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..

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 4: DCeased #3 Cover

The cover of DCeased #3 features Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman fighting a horde of zombies (the latter kind of looks like he may be using his heat vision against a zombified Power Girl). Harley Quinn blows away a zombified Joker in this issue.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 3: DCeased #2 Cover

The cover of DCeased #2 features Batman being attacked by zombified versions of Batgirl, Nightwing and Robin. The best part of this issue is when Black Canary destroys a zombified Green (Hal) Lantern and gains his power ring.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 2: DCeased #1 Cover

The cover of DCeased #1 features Batman fighting a bunch of police zombies. Many people call this series DC Comics answer to Marvel Zombies but this issue has very little humor in it. The last page will really shock you.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 1: DC Trinity Candysticks

Welcome to Day 1 of Countdown to Halloween 2019. I picked up this year's Candysticks (or Candy Sticks) from Dollar General the day after Labor Day. Instead of the usual Spider-Man Candysticks that they have had for the past few years, this year's bag features Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. I call them DC Trinity Candysticks even though the logo just shows Candysticks.

Batman looks like he's flying on the back of the bag.

Batman seems to be the big winner in the bag I picked up for there were three different versions of him with each version having four boxes. The first one features him swinging on his bat-rope.

The back of the first version Batman box features the DC Trinity.

The second version Batman box features him squatting (that explains why the picture is so blurry).

The DC Trinity is once again shown on the back of the second version Batman box but they are shown in different order and poses.

The third Batman box version features him leaping.

Batman looks like he's starting to leap on the back of the third version box.

Superman is featured on two different boxes and I only got two of each. The first version features mostly his head.

The back of the first Superman box features the DC Trinity but in different order and poses. Wonder Woman is holding a sword.

The front of the second Superman box features him with his cape blowing in the wind.

The back of the second Superman box features him taking off flying.

Wonder Woman got the short end of the Candysticks for she only appears on one box and I got four of them. The front features her posing with her hands on her hip.

The back of the Wonder Woman box features a nice close up of her.

I might have to pick up another bag of these to see if they have any other versions of Wonder Woman. They should at least have one more featuring the DC Trinity of the back.
