The final release week for October is here and it’s a spoooooky one. Dynamite Entertainment has put out their finalized solicitation list along with covers and variants and there’s a lot to like. The totally excellent Barbarella lands with a new issue as does the latest Charlie’s Angels. We also dip into the past with a modernized incarnation of Nancy Drew that’s excellent while we get the first collection for The Librarians as well.
On the specialty side, there are some neat Fallout cards landing and a sweet limited bust for Red Sonja.

Way back in the swinging ’70s, movie producer Sol Schick was the guy behind such cheesy classics as “Quarry: Bigfoot!,” Noah’s Ark: Found at Last!” and “Heavenly Visitors from the Hell Above.” But when he’s murdered – at a film festival! – with a piece of Noah’s Ark! – THE LIBRARIANS are drawn into the mystery. Can their combination of special skills, obsessive curiosity and knowledge of forgotten lore figure out who – or what – spelled doom for Schick? And as they delve deeper into his past, is it possible that things are not as they seem and that all his crazy, wild movies…were telling the truth?
