The New House of Mystery put out by DC so far looks very promising the first four issues were very well done and it appears to be building into somthing nice.
You can download a sneak peak of the preview issue here
http://www.dccomics.com/comics/?cm=9388The House of Mystery should be a well known plot device/locale to fans of Vertigo's Sandman or to DC fans in general.
In this series, the House serves as a gathering place for a range of characters to gather as a impromptu tavern to drink and eat in exchange for the telling of tales that are displayed as the main story of each issue.
In addition to the ever changing roster of patrons, there is a cast of characters that are seemingly unable to leave the house. Their purgatory and the developing side story of these characters serving as a thread from each issue.
Now don't get me wrong the old series was somthing for it's time and could be viewed as somthing altogether different and campy now, I mean you can't beat a cover like this;
but this new series is showing the earmarks of somthing stronger in a literary sense as well as the dark or macabre short tales that the original series was known for.
Definitely worth a look if only for Issue #1 with the story by Bill Willingham and art by Ross Campbell
