In the webcomic The Last Halloween , young Mona ’s male parent refuses to take her trick - or - treating , which is probably for the best since the monster of the world have stand up up against manhood . When she lastly finds a group of ally , it turns out that they ’re monsters , too .
Abby Howard’sThe Last Halloweenis a jubilant blend of goofiness and horror , one that copulate wide - eyed characters and absurd situations with some truly macabre violence . Mona was actually excited for Halloween ; she made her own costume and was hoping that her father would take her out to hit some confect . or else , though , her father — who has blend in a bit sick in the Wake Island of Mona ’s mother ’s death — leaves her home alone to observe scarey movies on television . However , it quickly becomes clear that the monsters on the television are n’t fictitious — and that Mona needs to get out of her theater before she gets eaten .
It ’s a weird and wonderful reconciliation act that Howard rip off . Her character designs are deceptively simple , made for conveying bounteous , over - the - top emotions . And the group of misfit monster kids Mona confrontation seem ripe for an repair series , each with their own oddball personality . ( I ’m personally fond to Shirley , the Twitter - addicted flower child body snatcher . ) But Howard station them against imagery filled with dread — a horrifically charred body , misrepresented tree with swirling leave-taking , the sloping earth of an open grave — giving herself permission to enact moments of high absurdness and bloody repugnance side - by - side . And while Mona is trying not to have an aneurysm at each fresh threat , there ’s a larger account live on on , on tied to a deep ma’am travel with a behemoth spouse and a bloke they seem to have nobble . All in all , it ’s great , slimly loopy , repulsion sport .
