Halloween draws nearer and the comic industry knows it. In this week's "Buy This" we're spotlighting Chicago-native menton3's newest work titled "The Memory Collector," which is just what the spooky season called for.
In typical menton3 style, the book is beautifully illustrated. He once again shows that comics do not have to be constrained to the traditional pencil-ink-color method of illustration and that the fine art of painting has a place right here on comic shop shelves.

In addition to illustrating the book, menton3 also wrote the story which follows three women who have found themselves responsible of hunting down unearthly entities who feed off of memories. What is especially compelling is that menton3 at times breaks into prose storytelling, rather than sticking to conventional comic book storytelling, adding a slight level of sophistication.
If you're a fan of menton3's Monocyte or Transfusion, or a fan of his artwork, the first issue to this 3 part series is a definite buy.
