The Picks:

Casper’s Scare School #1 – Ape Entertainment scares up an old favorite just in time for Halloween. Casper the Friendly Ghost is back along with his Scare School friends! Casper and his friends make plans to go trick-or-treating on Halloween, the one day of the year that they can go out into Deedstown and arouse much suspicion. But when Wolfie goes candy-crazy, it’s up to Casper to calm him down before the “fleshies” take notice. Beloved by parents and kids alike, this latest entry in the long running series is sure to be a hit. Keep the Halloween spirit burning all year long!

All-New Batman The Brave and the Bold #12 – Batman goes trick-or-treating, though he’s isn’t finding too many treats! Batman and Zatanna are trying to solve the break in at The House of Mystery, and the clues are taking them to the weird side of the criminal underworld. It’s not long before some of the spookiest bad guys come out of the woodwork, and come knocking – and they’re not looking for treats! Have some spooky fun super-hero style with the Dark Knight and the Mistress of Magic, Zatanna.
