We’re back with another fresh take of Corey’s Comic Corner! October is here folks and that means I’ll be adding a few spooky movie reviews into the mix every week in October. In addition to comic reviews, I’m going to bring you a must watch horror movie from my long list of favorites and break down why I think it’s a horror classic that shouldn’t be missed. Picking just four or five movies will be tough but I guarantee they will leave you scared or at least scarred? Maybe both!

So grab your blanket, some popcorn and enjoy the show.

Review of "Die" Volume 1: Fantasy Heartbreaker

Review of "Die" Volume 1: Fantasy Heartbreaker

As the two-fold title suggests, this series borrows heavily from Dungeons and Dragons in a dark exploration of the world of fantasy and a homage to traditional role playing games. As one of the characters mentions, it’s “fantasy for grown-ups”. You can consider it a tale of Dungeons and Dragons meets Jumanji. If you’re a fan of either, this would be a great series for you to check out.
