Who can forget that classic horror "charterer" the Living Mummy? That guy. Always charting things.

Adam Warren is amazing, his art is not only sexy but also has really good dynamism, which is a very rare thing even in artists who are great.

Not a bad line-up in terms of Creators and Characters

Obviously I'll have to wait to see it in print, but the premise doesn't generate much for me. Much like the New Mutants superhero/horror flick (I couldn't watch it, it just was too bad) my concern is like what a lot of reviewers of that movie stated: failed to find a fitting tone and stick to it. I just dont see much "horror" in a story when superheroes are introduced. We'll see.

I was down as soon as I saw this, some of my most loved characters getting much needed play, like Man-Thing, Elsa Bloodstone, Werewolf By Night, Moon Knight and being all about horror, I'm sold, so far anyways.

Call back to some Marvel horror comics (actually a collection of horror comic stories from the old Atlas days in the '50s, reprinted in the '70s). Fantastic. Bringing in Marvel monsters like Werewolf by Night, I'm down.

But adding Wolverine? Not even the real Wolverine, but clone female version Wolverine, complete with yellow and blue costume for a HORROR title?

Another comic with Wolverine in it? Well at least it's Laura and not her dad.
