Just the sort of thing to do in your spare time.

I realize the original was done this way but that's why it was great, because it shouldn't have been and it was controversial because of that fact. They were the adult comics before Vertigo & indy titles existed or before there was such a genre. There were some seriously gory and unacceptable things going on the original EC comics. How will a kid oriented comic cater to that? I doubt it's going to be anything different than what was shown on Saturday mornings under the "Tales from the Crypt keeper" banner. I'll get the first issue but as soon as I see "spooky" art resembling Scooby Doo or something from Cartoon Network I'll pass on the rest and realize this was just another attempt to cash in on the franchise. Speaking on cashing in on the franchise what we should really be focusing on is getting seasons 6 & 7 out. Come on WB announce something already!

For example: Forest Witaker's new Twilight Zone 10$ million an episode, but the writing was so awful it wasn't worth it. I just hope they're written in the classic EC style type Tales! In either case I'm signed up for the first few issues! Frankly I think that it’s the story quality more than looks.
