The Midnight Comic Club Episode 10 – A Sinister Six Pack

[https://unitedmonkee.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/mcc-logo1.jpg?w=280&h=280]https://unitedmonkee.com/2017/10/04/the-midnight-comic-club-episode-1-super-scares/mcc-logo/Welcome to the tenth meeting of The Midnight Comic Club! After the extensive look at Frankenstein over the past three episodes (and a week off due to illness), we’re back with a new segment called The Sinister Sixpack wherein I grab a half dozen horror comics I’ve never read before and see how that goes. Most of today’s entries happen to not be available in digital formats. However, if you’re interested in checking them out, I’ve provided the MyComicShop links here: Tomb Of Darkness #18 [https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?q=tomb+of+darkness+18&pubid=&PubRng=], Night Force #1 [https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=219661], Marvel Chillers #2 [https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?q=marvel+chillers+%232&pubid=&PubRng=], Secret Origins #15 [https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?q=secret+origins+%2315&pubid=&PubRng=], Unexpected #166 [https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?q=unexpected+166&pubid=&PubRng=] and Vault Of Evil #7 [https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?q=vault+of+evil+7&pubid=&PubRng=]. https://poppoppa.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/the-midnight-comic-clube-episode-10-sinister-six-pack-121217-4-50-pm.mp3 [https://poppoppa.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/the-midnight-comic-clube-episode-10-sinister-six-pack-121217-4-50-pm.mp3] As I mentioned in the episode, the original Night Force series has been collected into a very handsome volume [https://www.amazon.com/Night-Force-Marv-Wolfman-Colan/dp/1401274293/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1513101418&sr=8-1] that I’m hoping to check out in the near future.
