I Luv Halloween, Volume 3: Volume 3

by Keith Giffen

Book Overview

They say bad things come in threes, and this third round of trick o' treating is a close encounter of the twisted kind. We won't completely spoil the surprise, but this volume includes an alien invasion, defiled corpses, more lame candy, and some new, sick characters, including Kevin Kyle Kramer--a.k.a Triple K--and Monica, a charming thirteen-year-old who really REALLY hates dogs. This Halloween, you won't know what crazy is... Colored by Michael...

It's Great

I have read the last two volumes and slightly liked the first one over the second but was still willing to get the third one when it came out. I like this volume just about as much as I like the first because it focuses more on the kids than the adults (who are mostly dead in this volume). On one of the first few pages it says that you'll most likely be offended and to deal with it (sarcastically). I wasn't offended (I'm not easily offended) but time after time were situations that would surely offend many but made me laugh. It's not overtly raunchy or overdone but is just really funny in a grim sort of way (if putting an aborted fetus back into it's headless mother's womb is not funny, this book does it somehow). This is one of my favorite aspects of the book. We are introduced to two new characters, one of which doesn't say much but eventually cuts up some dogs and someone dressed as one. The other is a black kid who's father is murdered and decides to get revenge. All the while some aliens are destroying the town and abusing the people in it which includes experimenting. The aliens actually don't play too much of a role except to place an atmosphere for the kids to be in which is fine because I'd rather hear more of the kid's dialogue than the alien's. In the end, the series is pretty much wrapped up leaving no room for sequels which is too bad because I really liked it but the ending is not without some sort of closure. The artwork in this volume is much better than the first one and you can see the aging in the characters (which for better or for worst plays a small part in the script). But, unlike the second and first volumes, it's not as cluttered and hard to look at. This volume is by now skilled in it's character designs and believability. Overall, I think that this book was well worth my time and would highly recommend it for a good laugh, whether or not you're new to the series.
