6 Coolest Comic Book Ghosts
BOO!! Did I scare you? No? Oh well, I tried my best. I’ve never been much of a horror fan, either books or movies, but I absolutely love Halloween. I love it when society as a whole unites behind this sort of epic pageantry. All the kids in the world dressing in costume to get free candy door-to-door? Awesome! A day where it’s perfectly acceptable to wear a costume to work or to class? Sign me up! I’ve already bought the spooky pumpkin mask I plan to wear when I’m out and about on Wednesday. Not to mention the Batman tie I only wear on Halloween.
Or maybe I should just walk around wearing a sheet over my head. Because what’s more synonymous with Halloween than ghosts?
Witches, I guess…and Charlie Brown
And when we’re talking about science fiction and super powers, who better to use than ghosts? They’re spooky, mysterious, and often associated with horrible murder! Plus they have a ton of super powers. They can fly, pass through walls, howl, and wear pretty awesome sheets. So it should come as no surprise that ghosts are a pretty popular topic when it comes to comic books. For Halloween this year, I’ve put together a list of the 6 ‘ghoulest’ ghosts in all of comics!
Animated Axe Cop Wishes You a Happy Halloween
The words ‘animated Axe Cop’ alone should be enough to make your eyeballs melt with buttery excitement.
And the fact that he’s voice by Ron F&cking Swanson is just perfect. Who hired him for the voice? They deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. We’ve known for awhile now that Fox’s Animation Domination is working on an Axe Cop cartoon, and this video appears to be a test animation to see how it’s coming along. I declare that it’s absolutely perfect!
6 Best and 6 Worst Male Superhero Halloween Costumes
We are living in a golden age of dressing up as a superhero for Halloween. The success of the superhero film industry has made them the #1 choice for any Halloween party-goer or trick-or-treater. Heck, The Dark Knight alone had to have raised the Joker costume quotient by 2,000%! And I would hope to see a ton of Avengers costumes this year.
Exactly right
I did a List of Six last year about the best and worst female superhero costumes, and it’s been a pretty popular list this fall. So I decided to revisit the idea and do a list of the best and worst male superhero costumes. Being the nerd that I am, the list is based on two things: costume quality and accuracy. This isn’t about the most popular costumes. The girls’ list was also judged on sluttiness, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for men. Superheroes should be an obvious Halloween costume, because the heroes are wearing costumes themselves. So one would think that designing a Halloween costume should involve just recreating the superhero’s costume as accurately as possible.
Apparently not. But sometimes they get it right. All of these costumes were found online available for sale.
What’s That? New Venture Bros. Footage? I’ll Take It!
Apparently it’s been almost two years since the last new episode of The Venture Bros. Has it really been that long? Jeez…Well a new Halloween special will air this Sunday, and here is a teaser/preview! It’s a little meatier than the Iron Man 3 teaser/preview at least.
Man, is it good to get new Venture Bros. stuff! If you couldn’t tell from the very theme of this blog, we here at Henchman-4-Hire are huge Venture Bros. fans! New episodes are cause for celebration!
MODOK Makes Halloween Funny
MODOK dressed as Elvira is brilliant in every sense of the word. This is a hilarious parody by the crew at Marvel: What the…? And like in Treehouse of Horror fashion, there are three funny Halloween shorts. The best one is the second one.
