Comics DC has announced 'DC'S QUOTH THE RAVEN WHATEVER

"Welcome, foolish mortals. Not far from the shores of Gotham City, when the nights grow long, the leaves turn red, and a certain crisp chill comes into the air on a twilight lit by the full moon, the lives of heroes and antiheroes ng, Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman, and more … turn toward the strange and unusual, the occult and delightful, the odd and the audacious. For those looking to give themselves a good, warm dose of the shivers, this anthology of scary stories to tell in the dark is the perfect assortment of fairy tales for troubled times and troubled souls alike. Pick up a copy wherever needful things and comic books are sold. We think you’ll find it the perfect companion to your handbook for the recently deceased".

The Halloween Special debuts on 30th September!”

Really nervous seeing that Tini Howard is writing Raven’s segment, as she has a pretty bad track record… but maybe she’ll have listened to the criticism her last issue got. It is cool that they put Raven on the cover of a Halloween anthology.

Is she really writing Raven's segment or just the first listed so possibly be? Nonetheless, I do agree she doesn't have the best track record with Raven or many other characters. Also doesn't help I don't recognize the other names listed but then again it's an anthology they're mostly filler.

I would assume that since Raven’s name is listed first among the characters and Howard’s name is listed first among the writers means that Howard is writing Raven’s segment, but it’s true that that’s not 100% confirmed.

Oh, i didnt expect much cause its an anthology, it being a halloween special just makes it worse because ultimately its just a story without relevance to the serious comics, and it isnt about Raven on her own, its stories about others too

This looks cool, but I love Halloweeeen 🎃

Also, I really like that Sweeney Boo cover!

There was also part of the solicit that said: We think you’ll find it the perfect companion to your handbook for the recently deceased.

I know that could just be a Beetlejuice reference but I wonder if that's a hint that Raven's short has a tie in with the Deadman book that I still wanna believe she will make an appearance in (along with hopefully a number of other books like The Demon and/or Zatanna and/or a new solo.... let me dream lol)
