Word Balloons: 'Walking Dead' magazine highlights spooky October releases

• email

In the series, paranormal investigators Tommy and Vaughn find a curious device that summons a beautiful, translucent woman. The investigators join forces with the mysterious Ghost as they search for clues to her past life. The new series stands alone, though “Ghost” first launched in 1993 as part of Dark Horse's “Comics Greatest World” line. Two omnibus editions collect those issues, with a third omnibus set for release later this year.

“Halloween Eve,” by writer Brandon Montclare and artist Amy Reeder, follows Eve, a young woman who works at a costume shop, on the day before Halloween. Working late on the night before Halloween, Eve's evening becomes potentially deadly when the costumes come to life. Reeder previously drew “Batwoman” and “Madame Xanadu” for DC Comics, as well as drawing covers for the “Supergirl” series. Montclare wrote “Fear Itself: Fearsome Four” for Marvel Comics and has been an editor at DC.
