October is here, and that means it's time for fables of fear, time for stories of suspense, and time for tales of...time?
Join us for a terrifying tour across the ages from some of comics' top talent! Witness zombies menace the JSA in the 1940s. Experience the haunting of the Gotham City Sirens in the 1990s. Watch as Swamp Thing goes up against an irradiated monstrosity in the far future. These are just a taste of the time-hopping terrors we have in store for you in our fright-filled Halloween anthology!
Such a fun little yarn. I wish we had a Son monthly, these guys at these ages, getting into mischief and adventure. It is the perfect gateway comic for kids, more mature than Tiny Titans, less mature than Detective. Maybe, just maybe, we'll get more untold tales like this. I can only hope. Read Full Review
A great short story that is filled twists, action and humor. I loved the dark undertones of the plot and what is being teased within it as well as the beautifully dark and stylish art. Read Full Review
Overall, eight fairly effective stories with some great ones, but the whole thing only loosely fits together into a theme. Read Full Review
Overall, this was a very solid book. Plenty of fun, though a bit light on actual Halloween content. No real chills or scares, just lightly themed stories. My personal favourites were The Phantom Stranger story, the JSA tale, and the Deadman effort, all of which brought a smile to the face and fulfilled the editorial brief Read Full Review
There really is a little of everything here, from lighthearted stories like the Super Sons adventure to more serious ones that focus on some of DC's darker sides Terrors Through Time is an overall solid read. No matter what you're looking for I can say there's probably something tucked in here that will scratch that October, cool weather, scary story itch. The sheer variety of stories and creative teams in this anthology is enough to make this book worth checking out, especially if you're looking for something to add to your Halloween reading list. We hope you all enjoy reading through it as much as we did! Read Full Review
DC's Terrors Through Time #1 salvaged about three reasonably entertaining tales that I wouldn't have minded seeing as a full issue instead of a truncated, brief, story. Otherwise, readers will discover that there just wasn't much terror or horror incorporated throughout the issue. Over half of the stories didn't keep my interest and their length was simply too short to lock in my attention. Read Full Review
Most of the installments are admittedly skippable and a couple don't even really bother with the theme. But if you feel so inclined, read the Phantom Stranger's "The Longest Night," Super Sons' "Trick or Treat" and the Damian Wayne & Deadman team-up at the end. Read Full Review
If only for the Deadman story by Seeley and Jones( man I want more Deadman by Jones!) this is a good book. Several good stories and it felt like a good Halloween book. Highly recommended.
