A Christmas Carol - A Ghost Story
https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Carol-Ghost-Story-ebook/dp/B0C1HT5K4B

Rorschach (2020-)
https://www.amazon.com/Rorschach-2020-Tom-King-ebook/dp/B09KMGKVG7/
It’s been 35 years since Ozymandias dropped a giant interdimensional squid on New York City, killing thousands and destroying the public’s trust in heroes once and for all. And since that time, one figure in a fedora, mask, and trench coat has become a divisive cultural icon. So, what does it mean when Rorschach reappears as a gunman trying to assassinate a candidate running against President Redford? Who is the man behind the mask, and why is he acting this way? Now it’s up to one detective to uncover the identity of this would-be killer and expose a web of conspiracies that will change the world forever.

Doc and Angus conclude Halloween Horror Month with a trilogy of self-contained horror comics by James Tynion IV. The precursor to the creative titan that would take the comics world by storm with the Slaughterverse. In Memetic, a weaponized meme leads to the utter annihilation of the human race within 72 hours. The root of this apocalypse is a single image on the internet, a "meme" in the popular sense. A meme that changes everything. In Cognetic, a powerful psychic being that once controlled one-third of the world's population as a part of its hivemind, returns to humanity in modern-day New York City. Meanwhile, the young assistant to the Director of the FBI may be the only one who can save humanity, but at a terrible, terrible cost. In Eugenic, a new vision of humanity’s future arrives. When a plague ravages the world, one scientist discovers the cure and becomes the savior of mankind. Hope is restored, and the world rebuilds. But then people who took the cure begin having children who are… unnatural, and the definition of “normal” is forever altered. Collects Memetic #1-3, Cognetic #1-3, Eugenic #1-3.
