KaBOOM!; $7.99 

As the new Fall TV season rapidly approaches, smarmy television creator Jason Pander is desperately trying to get his shows on the small screen. Unfortunately, Drop That Piano doesn’t seem to have the pull he thinks it does. It seems audiences are more interested in shows about a cat, its owner, and possibly a cute puppy. Sound familiar? Suddenly, Jon, Garfield, and Odie find themselves starring in a new reality show. But will Keeping Up with the Arbuckle’s have enough excitement to stay on the air? 

Later, Garfield is desperate for some candy as Jon busies himself getting the house ready for his Halloween party. While a distracted Jon chooses his costume, Garfield and Odie canvas the house for delicious sweets. Just when things seemed to be going his way, a sudden spooky twist turns the evening on its head. With something evil lurking in the house, can Garfield and Odie save the Arbuckle Halloween Spoktacular before its too late?  

Writers Scott Nickel and Mark Evanier perfectly capture the many voices of Garfield, while still offering a fresh and modern take. Meanwhile the detailed art by Antonio Alfaro and Dave Alvarez lifted the stories straight off the page!
