This year, Halloween ComicFest (HCF) features a whole new selection of 28 comic book titles for the industry’s most anticipated fall event taking place Saturday, October 26, 2019 at participating comic shops worldwide.
Of the 28 titles available, 19 are Full Size and 9 are Mini Comics for fans to pick up and enjoy. All will be available for free at participating comic shops on Saturday, October 26th, with the Mini Comics also available for purchase in packs of 25 for $4.99 at the beginning of October—a perfect item to give to trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
“This year’s Halloween ComicFest is poised to be bigger and better than last year!” said Halloween ComicFest spokesperson Ashton Greenwood. “The comics available this year are designed to appeal to a broad range of tastes, from the all-ages Mini Comics featuring popular properties like Archie, DC Superhero Girls, Nickelodeon’s The Loud House, and Pokémon, while the Full-Size Comics feature well-known characters like Sonic the Hedgehog, Boba Fett, Iron Man, and Batman. Halloween ComicFest is the perfect time to discover the wonders of comic shops and experience them as premiere destinations for Halloween fun!”

What are you expecting the DCeased 250 Qty RATIO Variant to start at? $75?
I’m not sure it’s different enough to have people wanting it. They’re definitely going to oversaturate the market with #1’s unless there’s something extra added to the “Special edition” that’s not in the original 5 variants.
It sounds like they’re closing the window for us to be able to sell #1 by October. Only bright side is it may noticeably increase demand for #2 when people are looking for copies to follow up the free one with.
Is it too much to ask for it to only be a partial reprint of #1 that requires purchasing a copy of #1 to find out the rest of the story? No description yet to go with the name. Just “Special Edition.”
#2 is still in stock at Diamond right now if you want to stock your shelves a little deeper on #2’s to pair with the #1’s or if you think #2 might jump later due to a shortage to pair with those Free #1’s. If you want to roll the dice your local store can get you more A’s and B’s right now if you ask. I just ordered another 30 of each just in case!!
DARKSEID WAS!!!
Never mind, I just bought out #2 Variant cover and kicked it into back order for the next 24 copies that turn up. A Variant had to split to fill so it’s probably about gone also.
