On a lighter note from child abuse, Halloween is coming up in a week and I was wondering if goons would be willing to talk about past year costumes (comic related or not). Not really looking for ideas but I figure it would be cool to see what goons have dressed up as in the past. To be a good sport, I will post about the following past year costumes:



Abe Zero - Agent of S.O.L.A.R (Special Officer of Law And Rescue). Some pulp hero I made up and probably the costume I am most proud about. I think I made up a whole backstory about this as well when drunk/bored.



The Chimney Sweeper - a Batman '66 villain who got a a gritty 90's reboot who I made up as well.



Spider-Nam (based on the James Stokoe stuff)

This year the fiance and I are doing Princess Carolyn and Vincent Adultman from Bojack Horseman and I will be doing surfing Joker from Batman '66 for work.

What are you goons doing for Halloween this year, and what have you done in previous years?

Something major, otherwise can't really parse it because people are reacting while trying not to spoil it for their friends. I assume somebody died, because there's a lot of "gently caress YOU ROBERT KIRKMAN"'s.

I'm basing this off the internet and not actually watching, but...

Did you read the scene in the comic where Glenn died to a spiked baseball bat to the head?
Last season cliffhangered on that scene, and this picked up with a newer character eating it and the audience going "That's it? Eh." Then Glenn actually got it in a surprise second kill.

e: Someone tell me when the kills are on Youtube. I'll check out the gore :)

I'll probably recycle my Marty McFly costume from two years ago because I'm both uncreative and still have a blue jean jacket sitting deep in my closet.

Did you see the one where 2000AD lost a bunch of Dredd pages he did just before going to print and he redrew the entire lot from memory in double quick time? Or the one where he hung out at a comic shop all day and just did free sketches for whoever wanted one? And by all accounts, he sounded like a lovely, lovely guy.

Apparently it was a goddamn ruptured appendix of all things. Just awful.

His Dredd stuff is so good. Like the storyline where the good Judge fights a bunch of werewolves.

I dunno what it is about werewolves but it's great to see people become or fight them in comics. Cap, Judge Dredd, Spider-Man...

Sheri S. Tepper died too, but she was actually a good person. Someone needs to do a comics adaption of Grass, Beauty or The True Game.

I'd generally like to see more classic fantasy and sci-fi adaption comics, last one I read that I can think of was that really good one of Jack Vance's Moon Moth. Or the beautiful recent French Elric comics

I'm kinda skeeved that people are openly celebrating Jack Chick's death on social media to the level where he's a Hussein/Osama or even a Phelps or Limbaugh. Dude was a lovely homophobic racist idiot that literally everyone but him regarded as a laughingstock, whose life's work is regarded as ironically "good"/spawned a wave of socially satirical parodies. He was a dumb weird old man who nobody took seriously, and there's this whole contingent of people gleefully celebrating his death as if he caused any real harm whatsoever.

Except he did do harm by spreading his hateful bigotry. Those stupid little comics justified hate in the minds of countless assholes, and I'm glad he's dead. This isn't a "throw a party" death like Scalia was, but it's still a good thing for society.

Was sad to see Steve Dillon died this weekend, always a huge fan. Didn't realize how he died until I read this thread, it shook me as I've been having abdominal pain the last few days I wrote off to pulling a muscle. Got freaked out by the news and went to the hospital to be sure. Now I'm in a bed scheduled to have my appendix removed after it ruptured last week.

Thanks Steve.
