Book of the Week: Evil Ernie - Youth Gone Wild, by Brian Pulido

It's not pretty. It's not happy. Hell, it's not even cute, but you can't deny this one simple fact: Evil Ernie rocks. For those of you familiar with The Mask series of comics, you know, the dark one, I'm sure your appetite for violence and animated gore is fairly intense. So why not give Evil Ernie a shot?

It's not really about the plot. A young man driven mad by a combination of severe child abuse and a bizarre dream machine that links him to lady death (either death incarnate, or just a really crazy bitch who likes to wake up to a pile of corpses in the morning). One thing leads to another, and he gets killed with yet another experiment, only to come back with mental powers. Every person he kills becomes a bloodthirsty zombie, intent on helping Ernie create an army of 'friends'.

That's really all there is to the plot, to be honest, but it's a fun ride there, and this issue only left me hungry for the rest of them.

Vintage Comics - Adventures Into Darkness, Issue 6: Corpse Convention, The Thing From the Sea (Pg 11 - Pg. 22)

Right on time for the new 'Hotel Transylvania 2', we've got a story in Adventures into Darkness featuring a creepy hotel. Complete coincidence, figured it was worth mentioning anyway. As someone who actually worked in hotel, I can honestly say I would avoid the kind that had so many guests milling about the lobby at such an ungodly hour...but I guess that would defeat the purpose of the story, wouldn't it?

Vintage Comics: Beyond - The Reluctant Ghost and Tales of the Supernatural (Pages 11-18)

Well, here we are again. I decided I was going to go ahead and give you the second section of this old comic, for the sake of consistency. There are about 2 more bits after this, which is always nice. I love having something creepy to look forward to, don't you? Maybe I might perform a seance myself one of these days.
