Issue: #22 - December 1996
Title: All Hallows Eve
Creative Team: Scott Lobdell & Michael Wright (story), Chris Bachalo (pencils), Al Vey & Scott Hanna (inks), Steve Buccellato (colors), Starkings & ComicCraft (letters).

Summary/Review: Ah, Halloween. A holiday of fun, candy, tummy aches, and some creepy guy named Nightmare. Wha? What was that last one? Nightmare. He was the guy that made Ms. Frost's salad attack. He needs her help to get out of his nightmare realm (dunno why, but Nightmare's a bad liar). But when Queenie says she can't help, he says thanks by giving her a little taste of things to come. BAD things.
Meanwhile, Monet, Jubes, Skin, and Chamber do some scarin' of their own when some thugs in a big truck come to trash the school. Ah, fun.
What about the others? Others? Yeah, Paige, Artie, Leech, Mr. Cassidy, and the new kid, Franklin? Well, they're out trick-or-treatin'. Mmmm...candy.

Quick Thoughts: I like fun stories. That said, I liked the last four issues. And I liked this issue. But you know what? It's starting to get on my nerve, with nothing happening, just stuff leading up to it (and whatever 'it' is, I haven't the foggiest). But I can't penalize this issue just because it's been following the example of those before it. Besides, maybe it will all be worth it once we're up to issue #25. It better be.
