The most notorious name in terror—the immortal EC Comics—proudly presents the penultimate chapter of the runaway hit horror anthology! Courtesy of our ghoulishly gregarious host, the Grave-Digger, steady your nerves for another eye-searing dose of brazen bone-crunching and hilariously horrendous carnage! Leading this month’s tales of tension and torment, we welcome Greg Pak (Planet Hulk, Mech Cadets), Dan McDaid (2000AD), Stephanie Phillips (Phoenix), and Jay Stephens (Dwellings), and more to join the legions of the damned who wander the endless abyss. . . . Come and join them—there’s always room to spare!
Greg Pak is an award-winning Korean American comic book writer and filmmaker currently writing "Lawful" for BOOM and "Sam Wilson: Captain America" (with Evan Narcisse) for Marvel. Pak wrote the "Princess Who Saved Herself" children's book and the “Code Monkey Save World” graphic novel based on the songs of Jonathan Coulton and co-wrote (with Fred Van Lente) the acclaimed “Make Comics Like the Pros” how-to book. Pak's other work includes "Planet Hulk," "Darth Vader," "Mech Cadet Yu," "Ronin Island," "Action Comics," and "Magneto Testament."
Greg Pak kicks off this solid issue with a classic tale of a plant witch. Good stuff! This is followed by a solid nasty little yard from Rubin and Stephens—fantastic and original art on this one, a cool nasty style. A story of witchcraft and misogyny rounds this one out—here was the weakest tale with a missed opportunity for some real fireworks at the end.
