Archie Comics released Sabrina Annual Spectacular #1 last month. The first story, which is all new, is "Power of Three", which features the Wicked Trinity: Amber Nightstone (she made her debut in last year's Sabrina Anniversary Spectacular #1), Jade and Sapphire. The second story is the first appearance of Sabrina from Archie's Mad House #22 (October, 1962). The third story is "Spook Out", which originally appeared in Sabrina the Teenage Witch #5 (April, 1972). The fourth story is "Court Jester" from Sabrina the Teenage Witch #2 (July, 1971). Young Salem is featured in the fifth story titled "Scaredy Cat".

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 5: DC's Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun #1
This year's Halloween treat from DC Comics is DC's Ghouls Just Wanna Fun #1. Surprisingly, Harley Quinn is not on the cover. Instead, it's Clark Kent and Lois Lane getting tricked by some little goblins dressed up as the Flash, Mary Marvel, Animal Man and Lobo. The best costume award goes to the one that looks like Man-Bat but he's cheating since that's not a costume.
The stories include the Question in "A Look to Die For", Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) in "The Shadow Over Coast City", Animal Man in "This Day, Anything Goes" (my favorite), Nightwing in "The Dark Bite", Superman in "The Spoils", Robotman in "Not Fade Away", Crush and Lobo in "Happy Hal(lobo)ween", and Man-Bat in "Out of the Shadows".
Note: This is one of four covers.

That possessed killer doll known as Chucky returns to Syfy with season 3:
Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 4: Elvira in Monsterland #2, 4 and 5 Cover Galleries
I forgot to post the cover galleries for Elvira in Monsterland #2 and #4 when the issues originally came out. The fifth issue came out last week so I thought I would post all three cover galleries today for this week's Women Wednesday post. In issue two, she riffs on Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein movies.
In Elvira in Monsterland #4, she riffs on the kaiju movie Destroy All Monsters, which features Godzilla.
Issue five wraps up the mini-series with Elvira battles Vlad the Impaler and his army of monsters but she gets help from a super hero group that spoofs The Avengers movie.
Note: You can view Elvira in Monsterland #1 Cover Gallery here and Elvira in Monsterland #3 Cover Gallery here.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 3: Dracula Soltaire on Facebook
Facebook went through another game purge last month and I lost several of my favorite games (Candy Crush Saga and Hit It Rich! Casiono to name a few). There are not very many Halloween-related games either. However, there is Dracula Solitaire. I'm on level 31 and it's a fun way to kill some time. There is a story of sorts that involves finding different monsters. So far, I have found the lady vampire and the mummy.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 2: Marvel's Doctor Who #3 Cover
Doctor Who #3 was published in 1984 by Marvel Comics and the Time Lord turns into a werelok, which is a futuristic werewolf. His companions in this issue are Sharon and K-9. I don't have this issue but I did read it online and it was not bad.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 1: Mtn Dew Voodew Returns
Today starts the annual Countdown to Halloween. I picked up four bottles of Mtn Dew Voodew last Tuesday at the local Dollar General. The flavor didn't stay mystery for long since I read a review the day before saying that it was Cherry Airheads. I'm not a huge fan of the candy but I did like the drink.

King-Size Special Thor Annual #2 Cover from Marvel 2024 16-Month Calendar
The Marvel 2024 16-Month Calendar starts off by using the cover of King-Size Thor Annual #2 for the last four months of 2023. Naturally, my digital camera didn't want to cooperate before the batteries died. However, I did manage to get a blurry picture of it below:
Here's the actual scan (not mine) of the Giant-Size Thor Annual #2 cover from Marvel Comics:

Marvel 2024 16-Month Calendar Covers
The local Walmart's have their annual display of calendars out and I picked up the Marvel 2024 16-Month Calendar. The first thing that I noticed is that they did away with the shrink wrap. The front cover features Spider-Man, Moon Knight, Captain America and Hulk:
The back cover features a look of all the pages that are inside:

Women Wednesday: Power Girl #1 (2023) Cover
I think Power Girl and Wonder Woman are trying to catch up with Supergirl for how many series reboots they can get. This one hits the newsstands today and her secret identity is Dr. Paige Stetler. She also gets a costume change by wearing a jacket that covers up her boob window. Oh, Omen also appears, and Superman shows up at the end much to the surprise of no one.

Goodnight David McCallum
Sad news for David McCallum, Heartthrob Spy of ‘The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,’ Dies at 90. Not only did he play Illya Kuryakin on that tv series but he was also Donald "Ducky" Mallard on NCIS. One of his early movie roles was that of Judas Iscariot in The Greatest Story Ever Told.
