Barnes is joined in this horror flashback romp by artist Tom Garcia (Pathfinder, Hellraiser), colorist Dinei Ribero, and letterer Troy Peteri. This crew assembles together to guide Ash through his latest comedy horror adventure. But will he or even the creative team survive the journey..?

Transformers: Halloween Special

Dan Watters (Author)

Beth McGuire-Smith (Artist)

Nicole Goux (Cover Artist)

Whispers of a disembodied spark howling alone in the desert are floating around Cybertron. Whispers of Starscream’s loyalty to Megatron’s cause are also floating around. Frustrated and needing some space to clear his head, Starscream visits the desert and is surprised to actually hear the rumored screams. He follows the sound and is met with a creature that makes him question what it means to be a cybernetic being. Starscream faces off with this grotesque experiment in “I Have No Mouth And I Must Starscream,” by Dan Watters (Home Sick Pilots, Lucifer, The Sandman Universe).

Welp, Marvel Comics has done it now - they’ve killed off Doctor Strange just as a new movie is about to come out. Was this a mistake, or the greatest move ever? Let’s find out as we take a look at The Death of Doctor Strange #1.
