After the 6 issue series of Wildstorm, which was published during the late 2008 and early 2009, many people wondered if there would be another X files comic. But to the surprise of many, Wildstrom announced that it will do a cross over series with IDW’s popular series 30 Days of Night. Although, initially it came to me as a bit of a surprise but after I gave it some thought it seemed a good fit.
X-Files/30 Days of Night Vol. 1

Blackest Night: Batman Vol.2
The Blackest Night: Batman Vol.2 lives up to the reputation of the entertaining miniseries written by the talented Peter Tomasi. The second issue of the series uses the same formula of “superheroes vs. zombie” which was present in the debut edition.
The comic book has all the action ingredients from Commissioner Gordon Shooting off the head of a zombie to Batman and Robin taking blowtorches to the army of their undead rouges. Tomasi has done a wonderful job with the pattern and development of the plot which would not have been possible with any other writer. However, the major drawback of the story is predictability. Tomasi has created a fun environment in the book by combining Batsman’s world with those of the zombies. This makes the readers overlook the predictability of the story.

Dead of Night Featuring Devil-Slayer #1
Unlike the previous edition, Dead of Night series doesn’t show Devil Slayer in the ugly costumes and marvel weapons this time. The makers have tried to give a new feel to the character by omitting his trademark sword, taking out the hideous blue costume and funny headgear from the visuals and pulling out the cape as well from the picture. Devil-Slayer #1 is about the current position of Iraq with a supernatural flavor to it. The story has fewer captions to support and it is basically unfurl with interesting dialogues and visuals. Though, the characters are the same antiquated war story typecasts. The marvelous artwork could make the story work. Fine use of lights and shadows and emphasis on detailing has added an artistic touch to this horror comic.
