      Umm... Parker by Darwyn Cooke, Scalped by Jason Aaron, American Carnage by Bryan Edward Hill, Whiteout by Greg Rucka, Gotham Central by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka, and on that note, as @Ricky said, basically anything by Brubaker is going to be worth your time and money.

    Fantastic list. Thanks a lot for including From Hell and Black Hole - two of my favorite comic stories that I don't hear people talk about much - despite one of them being by a creator of Watchmen. I ordered the Marvel Horror collection over a month ago but it's yet to arrive in the mail, which bums me out because I was hoping to have that book by October :(
    I really want to check out Gideon Falls and Harrow County now - not to mention finish Locke & Key!!

      I have all of his translated works by Viz and also Dissolving Classroom. Sensor has A Lot of spiritual side (not religious even tho it does tap a bit into it and cults but it's not the theme) of things and uses some lingo of esoteric beleaves so it's very you will love it or think it's boring kinda work, for me it worked. Remina is like this never ending hyper active something is happening all the time Lovecraftian story and I also do love it but to some Ito's a bit more funny/ridiculous ideas maybe makes it too unconvincing for some since it also divides people. Gyo is just gross as h£ll and that's that 😂 I felt dirty couple days after reading it but that's kinda the point of it
      Tomie and No Longer Human (it's an adaptation of a book) are very much on Uzumakis level in my mind (around same lenght also). Black Paradox even tho it's a bit short is very safe bet. Also I would say Dissolving Classroom, it's quite similar in lenght to Black Paradox but not as strong but very entertaining. Those two are somewhat in the same vain to me. Maybe for the lenght and the chaptering style.
      From the short-story collections Shiver and Smashed are the best ones from the 5 bigger hardcovers. With the shorter ones The Liminal Zone, Venus in The Blindspot and Fragments of Horror I would personally go them in reverse order if interested in more Ito.

    Stephen Bissette's Taboo anthology series which serialized the early installments of "From Hell" in the early 90s had some good horror stories. I remember the first issue had a story from Burns that was likely a prototype to Black Hole called "Contagious".

    Omar your reviews are terrible for my check book balance . I almost made it to the very end but you HAD to have such a stellar review of Tales From The Crypt! I remember with nostalgia the old HBO late night TV show with the Crypt Keeper in the early 90s I separated from the Air Force and was unemployed out carousing late at night but I would turn on the TV and laugh my *** off at those endings!!! Such wonderful memories this will always hold a special place in my ( Tell Tale) Heart !

    Hellboy is an absolute win; those Library Editions were the starting point of the Librarium vyKania.
    Harrow County never really rang my chimes before but I will give it a shot and perhaps the Locke and Key Compendium as well.
    Bring me that Gideon Falls Library Edition and already tracking down a copy of Station 16; Eternaut was such a good read that Omar's import recommendations carry some weight up in this house.
    Nameless by Grant Morrison is among my favourite horror reads; the plot makes Final Crisis seem like Fun with Dick and Jane so maybe ease into it if you're not a familiar with a lot of Morrison.
    Definitely check out The Steam Man; an excellent all-in-one, turn of the century dark Sci-Fi.

      Also, saw Bernie Wrightson at SDCC a few years ago, when Jim Warren was interviewed. Bernie said that his work never looked so good as it was in Warren comics, because he drew and inked and Zipatoned it and it went straight to the printer, instead of the horrible four-color coloring jobs that Marvel and DC did :)

    Gideon Falla is incredible. Currently 4 trades with another coming next month, but man I can’t get enough of it.

Last issue of Gideon is in December though. :( Rest of the list is awesome ,but Gideon(and Lemire) is just so good so it deserves my whole comment lol. Thank you for the content, Omar!

    • @aleksisuuronen5969
      @aleksisuuronen5969 Před rokem

      I feel like a lot of horror comics aren't really That horror in the end (like Hellboy is more action for example). Some parts of Preacher is more horror than many labeled as horror. It's a labeling problem usually since sci-fi can be way more horror than be contemporary sci-fi. Or western or whatever but still be in that usual chategory. Especially thriller kinda stories have a lot more messed up things in them than an actual horror in general, because they often feel more rooted in the real world.
      Horror as a genre is suprisingly widely labeled, say a story isn't really a scary nor supposed to be, it isn't comedy but it's about Satan and some predicament of his that he has to work out in h£ll. it might be labeled as horror even when it would be more drama based (say it would have horrific imaginery as much as in Vinland Saga).
      Like Junji Ito's No Longer Human which is an adaptation from a book could be put under horror or thriller really in my mind. Since it's like supposed real life events of the author but spiced up so there is that groundness of a thriller while bad things happen and then some occasional supernatural occurence or dreamy imaginery. As a vibe it kinda threads the line. To me it's more about the vibe of the work than what it's about. As an ladt example the pretty legendary but old old manga The Drifting Classroom was made in 70's so it would have been horror then as still labeled now when it's more so a mystery/thriller.

    I've been on a horror binge this year(bored of superheroes comics). Gotta say dont skip out on some vault comics titles. The plot, fearscape, and cult classic are hidden gems in the genere imo. Of course nail-biter is great. Im surprised you haven't talked about it yet. Especially with its beautiful Omar edition hardcovers. If your really feeling the season, anything with art by Ben templesmith is fantastic. Wormwood, hoxford are fun reads. Speaking of in season. Redlands is an amazing book about witches. Now my favorite right now is spread. Basically what happens if the creature from the thing took over the world. Great body horror. Lots of red and interesting characters

    Good list!👍 If you like anthology horror series then I think you would like "Love Hurts" by Kim W. Andersson. And also "Alena" (not an anthology book) by the same author. They both are translated and published by Dark Horse in US. And the two original Swedish hardcover looks amazing 😊 Hopefully the US/Dark Horse version looks just as good.

    Every year I say, "Next year I'm going to finally get those hardcover Tales from the Crypt books," only to not do so. One day. I've been wanting to read them ever since I got into the TV show back in 94.
    I was a little disappointed to not see Swamp Thing, Morbius, or The Spectre on your list, but it was a pretty solid list overall.
    Another great horror manga series to check out is Vampire Hunter D. Dark Horse had adapted the first five novels into manga, but then they stopped there for some reason.

    Great video, Omar. I’m new to the channel, and I absolutely love it. I’m currently reading Moonshine by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso. I have mixed feelings about it. The artwork is gorgeous, but the story is all over the place. It’s not boring, and it proceeds at a brisk place, but it lacks focus, I think. I wonder what your thoughts are.

    Not one of my favorite horror comics but a hidden gem for sure is Jaybird. It's a Finish comic about a bird that lives in a big spooky house.

    I'll never call any series the best until it is finished. Berserk is great, and I have been a fan of it since 2008 when I picked up the first 5 volumes at my local store. I loved it a bunch, and it has always been one of my favourites, but until it is complete and utterly finished I could never rank it among the best manga of alltime. But hey, awesome list Omar! Glad to hear you talk about more horrorstories.

    Someone might have sait that, bit Alan Moore's Lovecraft Trilogy is definitely one of the most disturbing things I've read. The first, The Courtyard, is ok.
