Coming at you just past Midnight on October 31st! It's early, but it's going to be one hella long and scary Halloween, dabblers!
Your favorite blogger's going to be one Busy Boy this Halloween. Shoot, when am I not? Still, everybody does loves that costume so. I was a Busy Boy last year, and the year before that, and it never gets old. Always the life of the party, that's me.
Even the busiest boys manage a little downtime on Halloween. So if you've got an hour or two to murder today then do as Dabbler does: fill it with a comic book instead of candy.
It's healthy, and it's Abbracadabbling's Must-Read Recommendation: The DC Universe 2009 Halloween Special!
DC Comics publishes a Halloween Special each year. For just six small dollars, you'll find more costumed fun than you can shake a batarang at, folks. At the very least, DC's holiday fare is way more fun than answering the doorbell.
And just like a jack o'lantern filled with treats, the DCU Specials always have something that appeals to everyone's tastes. This year's Annual features 13 different tales of horror. For folks who may not be as familiar with many of the newer DC heroes like Red Robin or the (barely) new Kid Flash, or who missed the New York Times article that told the world Bruce Wayne aka Batman is quite possibly dead, this year's collection is a fearsome way to get in touch with the current goings-on of the DCU. Because, frankly, you should know.
Here's how DC summed up this year's Halloween offerings:
Darkness falls across the land as the DC Universe faces its greatest horror in this Halloween special filled with all-new stories! Watch as Guy Gardner continues his quest to share Halloween with the cosmos and his fellow alien Green Lantern Corps members. In another tale, Red Robin finds the true, deadly meaning of the sinister holiday while overseas on his quest to find Bruce Wayne. Meanwhile, Bizarro receives neither trick nor treat in his own backwards celebration of the spookiest night of the year on his home world. Plus, 10 other ghoulish tales to fill you with fright this Halloween!
Want more? The always-fantastic peeps at ComiXology have a preview online which you can read right here.
The DC Universe 2009 Halloween Special went on sale last week, but we're betting most retailers stocked a few extra on their shelves for the last-minute Halloween crowd. (We know ours did!) If you're like Dabbler, the car can drive itself to the nearest LCS aka Local Comic Shop! But if not, don't trip. No matter where you are, finding the comics shop nearest you is simplicity itself: just click over to the Comic Shop Locator Service. One trip there, and you'll be in the dark no longer...unless you want to be.
