In anticipation for Netflix's new animated series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, we went back to the source material. Scott Pilgrim's life is totally sweet. He's 23 years old, he's in a rock band, he's "between jobs," and he's dating a cute high school girl. Nothing could possibly go wrong, unless a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. Will Scott's awesome life get turned upside-down? Will he have to face Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends in battle? The short answer is yes.

This week on our annual horror month of October, we read Ice Cream Man by W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo. Chocolate, vanilla, existential horror, drug addiction, musical fantasy...there's a flavor for everyone's misery. This is a genre-defying comic book series featuring disparate 'one-shot' tales of sorrow, wonder, and redemption. Each installment features its own cast of strange characters, dealing with their own special sundae of suffering. And on the periphery of all of them, like the twinkly music of his colorful truck, is the Ice Cream Man-a weaver of stories, a purveyor of sweet treats.

Beginning our annual horror month of October, we read The Immortal Hulk by Al Ewing and Joe Bennett. Described as a horror take on the classic Marvel hero that still has science and new concepts to explore for the character. 
You know Bruce Banner. He's quiet, calm, never complains. He's a man who believes he can use the darkest elements of his personality to do good in the world. If someone were to shoot him in the head...all he'd do is die. But the horror lives deeper. A horror that refuses to die. When night falls something other than the man gets up again. The horror is the Immortal Hulk!
