1: Awesomest first page ever. That's a NaLu ship I can approve of. DraLu? or, going by Hellsing, NaLucard?

4: I know I shouldn't go there, but is Chelia really a loli? I must have issues. O_O

5: Dat Erza cover. Makes me think if Mashima can draw something well proportioned like this, the why do we get the usual water-ballon breasts and oversized hips in the manga. Must be the comedic effect. :P

9: This is a really-really strange fight. If we look at their power, Jose as a wizard saint clearly outclasses Keyes. However, I don't see anything in his wiki-approved arsenal that I think could hurt Keyes' anti-magic particle body: we've seen Jose do the Shades, things with strong physical effect (piercing beams, shadow tentacles, etc.), or darkness-based magic. All of these I presume to be completely ineffective against Keyes, since he is a demon, a creature of darkness. The physical stuff goes right through him, then the shades and the rest would be like attacking Natsu with fire. I don't think he would be able to end it in a flash with engulfing Jose like he did with Juvia, because the wizard saint is too strong for that, but I can see him slowly eroding Jose over a week-long, epic battle of attrition, where his human nature (thirst, exhaustion, etc) finally overtakes even Jose's saint-level durability. Now, if Jose had even one spell outside of these categories (i.e. it would be prudent to assume that he knows some of the general, arcane-style, non-elemental spells high level mages sometimes do, like some formulae of Amaterasu or Mystogan's layered seals), that would turn the tables. Of course, the nature of these particles is still very sketchy; could a wind-magic user scatter Keyes with an expenditure of power (even a lot of power, like Ajeel's sandstorm), for example? But, if I go only by what we've seen Jose do, this battle goes to Keyes in my mind. He may be a one-trick pony without necromancy, but that one trick seems to be just enough against Jose.

While the result is strange at the first glance, I think it makes even some narrative sense. The members of Tartaros are not mages and have freakish, possibly OP, game breaking powers that operate outside the laws of normal magic (slightly similar to the Lost Magic's). If anybody could upset the balance of normal power levels and beat some wizard saint or even spriggan level enemies that should be vastly superior to them, by virtue of being strangely well suited combating that one specific enemy with their curse or whatnot, I would expect it to be them.

TL;DR: I vote Keyes.

11: Wow, I'm not that into cosplay, but this month was pretty good. :)

All in all, a great Halloween-themed edition. Those Yanks love themselves their non-existing holiday, 'm I right?
