Damien and Yragael are back with a (slightly tardy) Halloween Spooktacular focusing on a comic about the filming of a zombie-themed music video which may or may not be a reference.

We discuss halloween, MTV, the 80s and whether or not Vince Colleta was the real horror.

Should I Love This Comic? You tell me.

The first on-panel appearance of the Marauders. Some fabulous 80s looks.


We spend quite a lot of time discussing these two pages.


A fabulously flowing action sequence that shows the talent of Bret Blevins.

The Mutant Massacre Map designed and drawn by Walter Simonson.
