It doesn't matter if it's Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc. I love reading holiday comic books. I have four on this week's list: Klaus and the Crying Snowman, Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesMarvel Super Hero Adventures and Season's Beatings.

Other than that here's the rest of my list:

In the wake of “Drowned Earth,” an amnesiac Arthur washes ashore on a remote island, and ends up being cared for by a young woman named Callie, who’s just a little TOO curious for comfort. And as a lifetime of horror movies has taught us, there’s something strange going on in this island village. Aquaman needs to come to his senses quickly...or he might wind up sleeping with the fishes instead of chatting with them.
