They all sound like good options. But I wonder if the story in The Rush can match that cover.

What Comic Should I Read Next?

The Rush was a pretty darn good read. Despite the very obvious message of "OBSESSION AND POWERLUST MAKES MONSTERS OF US ALL", it tells it in a fun wild way with great art and weird memorable monsters like a giant rotting moose that cries gold. Good companion piece with The Sixth Gun or Hellboy works. Great adventure horror stuff and it has some good twists.
What should I read next for the spooky season.
The Shadow Over Innsmouth - By Gou Tanabe who has done some great H.P. Lovecraft adaptations.
The Goon Vol. 5 - It's like Hellboy but sillier and 1940sier.
Man-Thing Complete Steve Gerber Vol. 1 - Marvel's second best monster!

It's hard to resist a subtitle like what The Goon has...

Almost done Man-Thing. What should I read next?
The Nameless: Grant Morrison's space horror tale. No idea beyond that.
Hellboy Vol 3 and 4: Its Hellboy
Aliens: What If: Marvel let Paul Reiser do fanfic of what of his sleazeball character didn't die.

The Nameless is a very good Grant Morrison cosmic horror comic but I would be lying if I said I got all of it. I do like that it slowly changes who you feel is the "hero" of the story.
Finished the two volumes of No Mercy I had. I might have one more that got lost in the move waiting to be found. It's an interesting, odd beast. I think there's a lot I REALLY like and a lot I roll my eyes at. It's not exactly horror in the conventional sense but a lot of horrific stuff happens. But it's about a group of Princeton students and a lot of them are more broad caricatures and the ironic detachment and shallowness feels like kind of weak satire. On the other hand, the trans masc character Sebastian really clicks from the beginning and I almost wish the whole series was about him and the issue #9 is a harrowing story of him surviving a conversion camp and it's horrific and tragic and powerful.
OK, Halloween season is basically over. What should I real now?
Secret Voice - All I know is it's a indie superhero thing.
Song of the Blackbird - I think this is a YA grounded story. Art is pretty.
The Wrong Earth - What if Adam West Batman and Frank Miller Batman switched places.

The cover for Secret Voice is speaking to me.

The Wrong Earth feels very much a sister series to Second Coming. Not as good as Second Coming but still pretty solid bit of superhero fun. I like the choices it makes for how the new environment changes the characters, for the better and worse.
What should I read next?
The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist - I wish Dark Horse was better about collecting these things. I'm pretty sure I haven't read these stories, though.
The Trigan Empire - Silver Age Brit sci-fi
Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77 - Probably good but a shame Mike Allred didn't do this one.
