Thread 150896107

>Perfect for fans of Wednesday and Monster High, the second book of this wickedly funny graphic novel series follows an aspiring witch and her two best friends as they try to have the most epic Halloween ever…while also dealing with pesky do-gooders, escaped monsters, and one harsh curfew.

First book was storytimed last year

Bump if you're reading

Is the werewolf a dude or a girl? BAKA zoomers all look like fags

>>150897648
Belly button is exposed AND they're wearing a jacket around their hips, they're a slut is what they are.

Enjoy the art, its nostalgia to me somehow.

>>150897982
Moss Lawton worked on Florpus so you can notice some Zim influences in Hellaween

>>150898016
I do now that you mentioned it.

>>150896107 (OP)
Bump, I'll be back to read this tonight. Was actually thinking about reading it anyway since I enjoyed the first volume last year

>>150896115
Reading

And that wraps up Hellaween: Spellbound
Thanks for bumping and if you like it please support the official release if you can or whatever

>>150896205
>>150896215
She grew up a lot in one year.

>>150899797
Thanks for the Storytime been waiting for it

While Hellaween book 1 felt more compact and focused. The difference might be because it took so long for them to come out and read better together.
These books should hit every button for annoying but they don’t because despite the overly modern nature, they are well told.

Bump for reading

>>150896235
Sloane needs to have porn. There is nothing out there.

>>150896246
Nice that Ester is still around.

>>150899797
Thank you for the thread.

>>150900362
Bump for reading but was thinking of requesting something with her but not sure to ask on the ./co/ threads or on the /trash/ board

Hell ya

>>150899782
Will there be a third book?

>>150896107 (OP)
Was hoping this would get storytimed here, will be keeping an eye on this thread.

>>150896115
bump

Finished reading, it was really fun. Thanks for sharing OP!

>>150896107 (OP)
Is this more or less in your face with pandering to the alphabet crazies than the first one?

>>150907064
Same, you just gotta deal with it.

SPOOKY!

>>150907110
First one didn't go out of it's way to tell me I'm Hitler for having the audicity to be born as a straight white male so I'll give this one a shot.

>>150906436
Well shit
Hopefully word of mouth gets better

This was fun

>>150907642
Yeah, it was a charming enough read, and the art and design was pretty damn great!

>teenybopper witch
>big poofy hair

>zero porn
HOW?

>>150899797
>please support the official release
>has even more they bullshit and faggotry than the first book
I will not.

>>150907064
>In your face
A character being called they is not what I would call "in your face." You make it sound like the comic suddenly stops being about Halloween or something.

>>150902638
It depends. If you ask for something sexy in Sloane's human form you will be able to post it on /co/. /trash/ is you want to play it safe with furry characters.

>>150907718
Most series will never get rule34 without deliberately baiting gooners.

>>150908630
First book has 1 instance of they nonsense that could be chalked up to a proverbial slip of the tongue on the writers part, and the vamp/wolf are implied to be a faggot couple at the end of the book but it's not explicitly stated. This one has a fagflag and it goes all out on the they nonsense. Both for the wolf and frankenstein, despite him being called FRITZ, a distinctively male name.

>>150908948
Amusingly enough I was skimming through last years thread and realized I made more or less the same post in that thread.

>>150909021
The wolf is a biological girl.
Sloane is wearing a what looks like a compression vest until the singlet.

I liked Hellaween 1 more, but I still enjoyed 2. Better art and had more character development all around, even if the hunters turning friends was rather quick. Some of the dialogue is getting rough (the "my actions have consequences" line feels straight out of a tumblr fan comic) but otherwise pretty good.

>>150896295
ENTER

>>150908658
/trash/ it is then hopefully ill get something before the season over

>>150907718
People need to know about it.

>>150896107 (OP)
Based post, OP. I couldn't find this in any of the usual places.

This was a fun read. Any other good Halloween themed comics on a similar note?

>>150912012
Scary Godmother

>>150907718
Comics are NICHE
Especially non-capeshit (and even then specifically Marvel, DC, and whatever gets adapted) and non-licenseshit

>>150912168
oh shit - I knew this was an animated special and had heard it was based on a book but didn't think to look for the source material.
Good suggestion.

>>150912300
>Comics are NICHE
>Especially non-capeshit
That's my jam and unfortunately makes it very difficult to discuss comics. I read a ton of stuff from Image and assorted indie stuff but on the rare occasion I meet someone who reads comics, they're usually into capeshit. Nothing against it, but superheroes just don't appeal to me.

>>150899080
i've noticed a mistake in the fist panel, one speech bubble isn't colored properly

>>150899797
Thanks so much for this.

It's a rarity to see an IP why every character is very fuckable.

>>150912401
I like capeshit and liceneshit but I get you
I strongly believe /co/ (and comics as a community overall) would be better if we had more people into comics as a medium and not necesssarily superheroes as a genre or are in for it more of established IPs
Nothing against those who do solely read those but it'd help make the discourse surrounding comics better since all the problems associted with those three aren't applicable to comics as a whole
More storytimes could ideally help but not necessarily
Optimistically speaking we'd have more comics like Anya's Ghost, Beautiful Darkness, etc that do have lasting appeal on the board upon introduction

>>150896295
>>150896307
>>150896320
Cute design.

>>150912757
I only got into comics well into adulthood and it was mostly because I'd always thought comics were almost exclusively capeshit. Even when it came to Image, I really only knew about Spawn. I'd read a handful of super indie DIY comics that I'd randomly find, but had no idea how to find more stuff like it.
Honestly, if it hadn't been for pirate sites where I could read comics online or download them and read them on a tablet, I would have never gotten into comics period. Being able to browse a ton of stuff and read for free helped me discover that there were definitely niches that resonated with me and that made it easier to decide to eventually start making purchases.
Comic discourse can be pretty toxic, though. Saying that you're not into capeshit in most comic threads on /co/ is the equivalence of throwing a grenade into the room. It's almost like people take it personally.

>>150912981
I honestly read his voice surrounding deep in the first book and didn't realize he's supposed to be an actual kid and not just a midget
Then again the juvenile dialogue should've clued me in

>>150912012
Not necessarily Halloween themed but Prunella and the Cursed Skull Ring

>>150896403
looks like Gwen fucked up

Huh, Moss works for Glitch now

>>150896466
>Advancemtn
Spot an error the editor forgot to correct.

>>150914518
Really? Well, i hope she pitches this to them. This is better than most stuff out there right now.

>>150914535
There's another error later.

>>150914565
Nobody pitches to Glitch. They spend a ton of time on Twitter looking for stuff and if they like what they see, they come to you. I'm pretty sure that even goes for employees since there are a bunch of people who work for them who are also independently developing their own stuff.

>>150915280
Moss Layton has experience working on cartoon projects.
I can see Hellaween getting a Glitch pilot only if KoG takes off and Glitch is comfortable working with 2D animation studios.

>>150896474
Why would Gwen be surprised about other witches. They should definitely exist in the human world with her.

>>150896573
Gwen is so cute.

>>150915412
The whole point of going to the Hallow-world was she thought she was the only witch on the earth side.

>>150896115

Good comic. A lot of good storytimes lately. Kind of bothered by the slight cliffhanger though.

>>150918383
>lot of good storytimes lately
Like what?

>>150918658
NTA but Vampirella and Goosebumps.

There should be art of Sloane and Loona from Helluva Boss hanging out.

>>150896635
>>150896650
Jarrahdale is hot.

>>150921007
Of course she is, she's a pyromancer.

>Beat boards from the development days! The first pitch I ever put together was for a shorts program at the studio I was with at the time. Obviously it wasn’t picked since I was able to take the concept elsewhere (no clue if any of those shorts were ever actually made either) but it helped me spring board into a full series pitch.
>Many of these moments made it into the books, some were changed pretty dramatically, and some were purely a vibes showcase. I really like doing beat boards like this, they’re quick and helped me figure out how to showcase these characters to new eyes.

>>150896107 (OP)
Art style for this looks cute. I'll give the first a go and come back for this later. Doesn't seem like this one is on the usual site so this is a good find. Thanks OP.

Oh neat, Moss made a 13 page side story

>>150922499
Are these exclusive to the tumblr page?

>>150922540
Yeah, Moss posts a lot of Hellaween art there

I really like Lady Hellsing's constant deadpan tone and expressions: It really conveys how picrel she is about everything supernatural. Shame they dumped the dragon in the well though, it had some true cute mascot potential, >>150922535 & >>150922539.
Fun little side story, and the b&w worked really well!

Lil Gwen is cute

>>150896235
These kids are in middle school. So 11-14.
First Gwen magic was 4 years prior and still small, so they are probably 13-14.

Huh, apparently Gwen's ethnicity is White/Mexican

>>150926176
Even the first time the first book was storytimed. People were saying how it’s fun despite having a “mystery meat” protagonist.
Mind you a White/Native kid would look the same.

Bump for others

>>150896235
wow Sloane looks way better without the nose ring

>>150915280
Working for Glitch probably helps you get in their books. They're familiar with your work and co-workers vouch for you. I'd say it's only a matter of time until they have an internal pitch session for the best project. Though that's not happening anytime soon with the buttload of projects they have.

Yeah these characters are either idiots or completely unlikable douche bags
They never try to make amends with their friends
they just give some empty "i'm sorry" or say "can you get over it already"
or they purposely try to fuck people over
them being the ones who cause Hiro's car to crash makes it their fault
but they take NO responsibility for anything, cause "lol goblin mode"
they are absolute morons who keep thinking something stupid will just work out for them in the end

>>150926176
now I'm picturing her going on Twitter and calling people who speak Spanish colonizers like the Primos chick

>tomboy skater punk werewolf girl
it's not fair man

>>150928049
Maybe? Then again it might work against you. If they picked up a project from a current employee, I'd imagine it would open the floodgates of other employees clamoring for attention for their projects. If one project got picked up but others were passed over, it could cause resentment and morale issues and they could put themselves in a position to be accused of favoritism etc.

They're able to maintain high quality output by not accepting any pitches and hand selecting the projects/creators that they really want to work with. There's no sense of obligation to reach out to anyone on their part and they aren't compelled to pick the least worst of a batch of pitches. I think once they start doing internal pitch sessions is the moment we'll see the quality start to slip.

>>150899741
>What if My Chemical Romance wrote the soundtrack to Scooby-doo?
more like Velma

Tony Hawks Underground, that's what would happen

Now I see it. Small world.

Miles a cute

A little late but I just finished reading this. Wish the characters from the first one got more time to shine but it wasn't bad either. Thanks for storytiming

I can fix her

I took this as a part of the ghost is in Gwen and eventually if there is a part 3 she is going to bond her soul or something to it and when jarra gets it back she will have learned how to feel friendship again and be part of the crew and be redeemed

>>150936064
>and don't come with LGBT baggage

Moss is considering another row with Jarrahdale and Fritz with a column for Frankenstein and Ghost respectively

>>150936196
Jarrahdale coming back makes sense for reasons like you said
Fritz as well given they seem to be a fan favorite if Moss' Tumblr posts are anything to go by
Not sure about potential redemption arcs though for either

>>150936341
Spoke too soon
>adding Jarrahdale and Fritz rows to my species swap chart and its a mixed bag lmao.
>Drawing everyone as ghosts and frankensteins? fun 10/10.
>Drawing Jarrahdale as different monsters? yippeee!!
>Drawing Fritz as anything other than a frankensten? bad.
>Drawing Fritz as a HUMAN?? deeply evil cursed cursed cursed rethinking adding them to the chart entirely

Huh, Dana Terrace made fan art

I love Halloween!

>>150936385
Interesting

>>150936341
Gwen is cute as a vampire and werewolf.

>>150897000
The last two panels are worthy of being a reaction image.

>>150927322

>>150922562
Cool

>>150896474
Gwen might wanna get a tetanus shot after this adventure, I don't trust Dr. Frankenstein is anywhere close to what a proper doctor's hygiene standards should be, especially with that needle.

Cool! Still not watching her shit show.
I'm glad I knew the Hellaween creator beforehand because if I heard "its like owl house meets invader zim" as the pitch I would not have read it.

I can see the style of Invader Zim in the design of the vampire decoration.

>>150896115
Supporting bump, a nice read after the first one, I will try to buy one from my local store and everything, it feels like a comic book my mother wouldn't let me buy during the satanic panic would be

Is Sloane dressed as a pirate? Cute.

Huh, didn't know Jarrahdale was a type of pumpkin
