The Next Level Initiative that DC Comics began this year, helmed by Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson, has been a beacon of creativity and revitalization, breathing new life into overlooked characters while expanding the stories being told across the DC Universe.
Emily Carroll -- who just won a British Fantasy Society Award for Best Graphic Novel -- is a Halloween tradition with her amazing webcomics which stretch the boundaries of the medium. Sadly she didn't do a new one this year, but you can read all the old ones here, and the most recent one, The Groom, which manages to find chills in a pipe cleaner.
Carroll is truly a master of horror and if you haven't read her other comics, there's no spookier way to spend Halloween.
