Have you checked out the sequel yet? I don't really know what more there is to tell. I read the original and wasn't in love with the reveals late in.
I haven't. I feel like a sequel is too much. But if anyone has read it and likes it, let me know.

I was thinking about that recently. Is there any legit way to read this?There was an old anthology horror comic from DC/Vertigo called Flinch that was fun.

Oh, shit! That's easy. It's available on hoopla for me, too. Thanks!Read through The Low, Low Woods last night. Very touching and pretty creepy too. The art was a bit muddled at times, but it did tend to give a bit to the "creeping unknown" feeling. Loved the two female leads as well, I'd happily read more.
It's on my Hoopla in Toronto, but also seems to be on comixology.

Hell yeah! Thanks for this.Oct 1) The Walking Dead #155-156 + 157-162 (The Whisperer War) [Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard]
I used to be a big fan of The Walking Dead, but with the TV show just dragging on and it getting harder to remember what was the comic's canon and what was the TV's, I kind of fell behind on both and basically just lost interest. I've been trying to catch up on the comic, but taking the time has proven difficult. Since we have this great thread now and I'm all in the horror mood, I'm going to finally finish it off this month.
I left off somewhere in The Whisperer arc, but forgot exactly where, so I began re-reading it from the beginning of the arc earlier to get ready. I believe I made it to the middle of The Whisperer War before, so this is partially revisited material for me, and partially new material (I think).
I don't really have too much to say yet since the arc isn't over yet, but I'm enjoying it. The interactions between Negan and Dwight are definitely the highlight. RIP Lucille.
I have completely forgotten who some of minor characters are though, and since there's so many characters at play it can be a little confusing for me. That's my fault though, not the book's.
Overall, I'm glad to have gotten back to it and I look forward to finishing it off this month.
Total books read so far: 8
I'm surprised by the absence of Devilman and Parasyte on the list. I'd consider both to be defining entry-level horror manga aimed at a shonen audience, rather than seinen, as seen with the likes of Uzumaki or Franken Fran. In fact, it was because of Parasyte that I wound up being introduced to the works of Go Nagai, Hirohiko Araki, and Junji Ito. I read it, thought, "damn, I didn't know manga could get this fucked up," and started searching for even more stuff.
Glad to see I Am a Hero on the list, though. Handily one of my favorite horror manga of the past decade. It's an easy Top 3 for me.
And I am seconding this. It's superb.
I could've given a list for 100+ horror manga, but I figured it'd be nice to leave some stuff for other members to recommend :DI'm surprised by the absence of Devilman and Parasyte on the list.
It starts off as a typical shonen battle manga, where a kid is possessed by a demon and becomes a superhero because his heart is pure enough to fight off the demonic influence. The story takes a dramatic turn after one of the villains of the week actually recognizes the demon within the MC. Things quickly start going off the rails after that, with surprisingly cruel twist after cruel twist compounding as the series rushes towards a climax that's tonally wildly different from how the story began.What's the Devilman manga like?
I don't think I ever read any because of the goofy blue version that appeared in some of older anime kind of scared me off.
Francavilla is so perfect for this. I held off for years because I was waiting on the slow release, but I may as well check it out since it's never gonna get a proper ending. Shame it happened with Sabrina, but at least he went off to finish that as a show.1. Afterlife with Archie Vol 1
Starting off with something that hurts, cause this is never going to be finished I suppose lol. You got this crazy good concept that has fantastic art to give off a more retro feel, and it was basically abandoned. I don't even know if volume 2 came out, cause they didn't reach issue 12.
Still, at least volume 1 kind of works as a standalone. Well maybe not, but it doesn't end on a cliffhanger or such, so there's that. There is some really good shake up for the gang as shit hits the fan with the outbreak in Riverdale, and it is absolutely sad to see a town which I have read so much about during my childhood fall into despair, and quite gruesomely at that. It is so good through, and there some really pretty powerful moments, like
Archie taking down his dad while some good memories of the two flashes by. Like damn...
Again, sad that this hasn't been finished. Maybe there is some chance that it will return, but for what there is in this volume is great, and it doesn't include that Sabrina issue. :P
Someday I will look at later Archie Horror stuff that seem to have been more successful, like Werewolf Jughead, and Vampire Veronica.
I'm actually shocked that both things you read this month are ones I'd never heard of. Where are you finding these? Haha#2 Signal 100
The main reason I read this is because last month I watched the live action version (I can explain). So I thought this manga should be better than the live action because they have more space for story and it's true! Manga has more nuances for the characters and their motive, and also has a lot more plots. But, it's still has the same problem (like battle royale/survival story) the deaths feels like a number.
Now, let me explain the premise: There's 100 signals planted on the students brain by the teacher using some advanced hypnotic technique, if the signal activated the person will commit suicide (horribly). The signal consist something like: affect violence on other, pee in your pants etc. So the story is about finding how to undo the signal and survive because there's always asshole who try to win, but actually there's a way to win with "less" people dying if you willing to sacrifice other. (I don't wanna do a moral take for this one lol)
Tbh, the signal part was interesting, but the story along the way wasn't that fresh for me. The psychological part is also kinda weak, I don't really remember a feeling of "oh shit that's smart" when reading it.
Last, should you read it? it depends, generally I won't recommend but if you like gore stuff, running out manga to read or just bored, go read it.
Trigger Warning: Sexual Harassments & Rape Theme (it's small part but I think I should put it)

Hmm? It already was. You mean as one volume or something? I just ordered the three volumes from my library a couple days ago.

Ah, I see. I'm interested to read Courtyard, Neonomicon, and Providence finally. I've heard... mixed things due to depictions of sexual violence in the latter... two, was it? I'll have to see for myself what's going on with that.One volume. The first three have been out of print for years and now sell for way too much

Awh, shite. Well, I'm glad I've been warned beforehand, and I'll be looking forward to Providence!Courtyard is a bit of a bore and Providence is one of Moore's greatest works. Not exagerating here, but Providence is right up there with Promethea or From Hell. The flaw is that it needs Neonomicon for the final issue to make sense, an utter trash comic. While I've never bought in the "Alan Moore is a sexist" debate, Neomonicon is simply disgusting from every angle
Awh, shite. Well, I'm glad I've been warned beforehand, and I'll be looking forward to Providence!
I'm a glutton for punishment, and I feel like I need to read all three (even if I regret it), so I'm going to avoid clicking the spoiler. I do appreciate the warning, though!If you want to avoid Neonomicon, here is the plot:A FBI agent attempts to infiltrate a cult, which turns out to be worshipping a Deep One. That creature then rapes her repeatedly, impregnating her. She then meets up with the protagonist of Courtyard, now imprisoned for a mass killing. The agent reveals that the Steppe of Lang is a concept of time and thought made real. She ends the conversation by stating she is pregnant with Cthulhu.
