The team behind The Secret History of the War on Weed have set their sights on Halloween, and the holiday will never be the same again.
Scotch McTiernan, who Brian Posehn, Gerry Duggan, and Scott Koblish introduced to readers earlier this year, returns to battle the real-life horrors that have made Halloween not so scary.
“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.
Here’s the description from Image: 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.”
The one-shot will arrive from Image Comics on Oct. 12.
