Image Comics has revealed the creative team behind The Secret War on Weed and Deadpool are teaming up once again for Halloween one-shot Halloween Party. The one-shot stars Scotch McTiernan and is due to release in comic shops on October 12th.
“I stopped trick-or-treating after I witnessed Michael Myers as he terrified horny teenagers in an Illinois suburb at the end of the seventies. My pals Gerry, Scott, and I figured after our 4/20 book, it was on us to be like our hero John Carpenter and ruin trick-or-treating and Halloween once again. Suck it, my favorite holiday,” said Posehn.
So what’s Halloween Party about?
It’s a scary time in America—and we’re not talking about the razors in the candy anymore. When you might get murdered in a mass shooting, the clowns, monsters, and other creatures that go bump in the night have a harder time doing their job. It’s a hilarious bummer at this year’s monster mash. Scotch McTiernan and Weed Thing return and readers are introduced to some new favorites.
“All the dumb fun we had on 4-20 is back, but this time in Halloween masks. We’re laughing our asses off and can’t wait to invite you over to this year’s Halloween Party,” said Duggan. “Wear kevlar—it’s dangerous out there.”
