The October Faction Vol 01 | Comics
Frederick Allan used to hunt down terrible monsters and ghouls everyday for a living in his prime but after quitting that part, he has chose a plain and simple life as a professor in a college where he teaches people on the mythology of monsters. His long departed colleague and best friend Lucas who disappeared during a mission when he was turned into a Werewolf after contacting a wound from another of the kind, suddenly shows up years later after his class was dismissed. Following the retirement, Allan made a good investment with the money he made from the hunting and Lucas ended up spending almost all of it for his divorce. But Lucas came to warn Frederick about the recent endeavor of his thrill seeker wife Deloris with their former foe Merle Cope.

Meanwhile, Allan’s son Geoff was busy with an experiment of ritual while he torments his bully classmate Phil about a secret past that started haunting the boy and his school hating creepy daughter Vivian were up to see the result of her brother’s testing of an incantation. Been trying to convince their father to enlist them into the venture of monster-hunting family business, they both shows him a wandering spirit they snagged from around the house. Surprisingly, the spirit goes berserk seeing Frederick on sight. Then, they got a call from the hospital of Deloris being beaten up pretty badly. And just when he was trying to piece things up to merge together, an old monstrous entity returns to Allan's life which he have locked away, to throw everything off balance.

The October Faction Vol 01

Steve Niles (30 Days of NightCriminal Macabre) and Damien Worm, the creative team who previously brought us the fan-favorite limited series Monster & Madman, is back with a brand-new craziness of a family that lives and breathes in horror mythology in their everyday life. The October Faction is their latest monthly ongoing from IDW and the first six issue is collected in ‘The October Faction Vol 01’. The story gave the readers a whole new perspective of a new age The Addams Family meets The Munsters experience. The dark watercolor-like style of the art by artist Worm packed with chilly plotline by Niles is a pretty fun read for a horror-lover.

The October Faction | Comics

Years into the business of monster-hunting came to end for Frederick Allan when he chose to lead a life like any other normal folk. But if you spend a good chunk of your life-time playing a monster slayer then you cannot expect to have a normal life at all no matter how much you try. He now lectures on the concept of various fabled monsters and their origins to the students in a local university, which seems like a dull job compared to his old days as a hunter.

He has a small family of two children and a lovely wife, something about them is also not too ordinary either. While his teenage kids Geoff and Vivian are not only weird but they are more than eager to join their father’s path to the monster-hunting business.

That leaves Allan’s creepy spouse Deloris Allan, who is a forever thrill-killer, bored with her current status as the professor’s wife. His best friend and former partner Lucas is also around these days who left the job after he contacted an infection during a mission that turned him into a Werewolf.

A seemingly loose-knitted family of weirdos that Allan is a part of and trying to get along with after spending all those years apart from them. Suddenly they all are thrown into a troubled world, which is filled with old adversaries and strange apparitions from his past, all wanting to get a piece of Frederick Allan or his family at any cost. And let’s not forget the trusted Allan family house-keeper Saunders, who also is a bearer of oddness and witness to many uncanny family secrets.

It all happened on 3rd June of 2005, the day that was meant to be the greatest day ever in history when most of the world’s biggest communities have finally decided to stop fighting wars and threatening against each other, to finally re-unite as whole collective. As soon as Shirley Wallace is elected president, she brought all leading countries with nuclear weaponries at their disposal to an agreement of complete disarmament with help from brilliant scientists and political leaders. But during this ground-breaking event, a meddling kid of a VIP guest named Spaulding manages to sneak into the nuke oven of Nevada and pressed the danger button that blew it up along with the world. But when the smoke is cleared, all the dead has came back to life as flesh eating zombies.

While this was going outside, in Reno, Nevada, Tom Bennett was working for Silver Star Hotel and Casino as a dealer of Blackjack and since the day he’s been working there, all he could ever think about was to screw fellow waiter Tori. She refused him over and over after but he finally made her drop her pants inside the casino vault one day in exchange for some cocaine and weeds. They get out of the vault after the play and found the whole casino empty without knowing the news of the outbreak caused by that nuclear meltdown. They were only alone for a while and soon the deads starts coming knocking at their doorstep as well as bands of savage scavengers from around. But the real threat presents itself when the flesh-eating brain-dead folks suddenly starts developing intelligence.

Which seems like a great opportunity for the creatures of the night; the Vampires, who fed on fresh human blood. Unknown to the dwellers of the town, a small pack of Vampires have came to Barrow to take advantage of the month long dark abyss and have a feast of their lifetime on the people who live here. Led by an arrogant Vampire named Marlowe, his Vampire followers have unleashed an uninterrupted killing spree upon entering the city and this news gets to the Vampire elder, Vicente who thinks Marlowe’s actions can bring about the end to an era that was remain a secret for ages, a secret their race are trying to keep in shadows for centuries.

To stop Marlowe’s uncontrolled and unchecked madness on Barrow, Vicente quickly rushes to the wrecked town of Barrow, to take charges of the matter in his more capable hands and take necessary actions immediately. There he confronted Marlowe for his actions and in a sudden fit of rage, Vicente kills him right away by tearing him apart. As the town has already learnt about the deadly presence of the Vampires, Vicente decides it is best for them to destroy the town with its folks after all and make it look like a major accident before they are going to move on. This way, their presence will still remain secret as it was for ages.

Thirty Days of Night | Comics

Thirty Days of Night | Comics
For thousands of years, humans believed that Vampires are only a scary mythical creature of darkness who sucks blood and they only exist in the books and fantasy novels. Since people refuses to believe that these very lethal and heinous creatures are for real, it gives the Vampires an advantage what they need to keep the continuation of their existence running. Because, years of absence of these creatures from human-sight may have faded their memory from men’s mind but they are feared and hated by the humans since the "Council of Elders" made their presence known to public ages ago. After struggling for over a millennium, only a few of them made it out to the present led by an elder named Vicente.

Marlowe, one of Vicente’s own kind has raided the city of Barrow, Alaska, during a 30 straight days of polar night to have a non-stop feeding fest with a few of his blood-thirsty followers that made its residents known about the secret presence of them which their race has been keeping under cover for quite some time. Vicente eventually arrives at Barrow upon calling, only to confront and take care of Marlowe later for what he mindlessly did by blowing their cover to the humans and then decides to continue what Marlowe began anyway, so that there is no witness left to tell their tale. Sheriff Eben Olemaun along with his wife Stella Olemaun and a handful of survivors made a last stand against the Nosferatu. The winter may have had weakened them but since the night is young, the creatures of darkness are still to do a lot more to the humans.
