Haunt Vol 02 | Comics

Former priest Daniel Kilgore joins The Agency and enters a new life of murder and espionage as Agent Haunt.

Following government agent Kurt Kilgore's death, his brother Daniel and wife Amanda was attacked by hired killers at their home. Kurt's ghost's timely merging with his brother created the ectoplasmic entity called Haunt and saved him from the assailants. Daniel then believes that he can actually see his dead brother who is part of his new form.

Then with help from his dead brother, Daniel calls a cleaner to clean the mess and eventually reaches to The Agency that Kurt used to work for. He faces a hard time convincing agent Beth Tosh and Director Stantz about what's going on until they saw him in action. A crime lord by the name of Mr. Hurg is after Shillinger's diary who orchestrated Kurt's death.

Meanwhile, Kurt's secret lover and a former special agent of the Agency named Mirage try to make a deal with Hurg, who apparently has the notebook everyone is so desperately looking for. However, the deal gets off and a shooting ensues between all parties involved but The Agency eventually gets hold onto the diary in the turn of events.

When a couple of other attempts of retrieving the diary with master assassin Cobra and other henchmen fails, Hurg finally calls in his mole inside the Agency to bring it back to him. Director Morgan Stantz is then shot dead and The Agency compound is blown up. Beth Tosh then takes charge as the new Director and Daniel is recruited as an agent.

Haunt Vol 02 | Comics

Mirage played everything out just like Kurt has planned from stealing the notebook to upstage the selling and even got the money but now that her lover is dead, all of this suddenly has become meaningless to her. When she decides to opens up to her about everything that took place and pay a sudden visit, Amanda learns about her husband's past.

Kilgore goes to see a girl named Charity outside of their usual "appointment" and when her boyfriend Ronnie was being a real jerk about it, he made a mess of him and his boys by leaving them into pieces. Researchers working for Mr. Hurg were able to crack the formula from Shillinger's diary and Cobra has also recovered in the mean time.

Daniel works his way into The Agency as he intensely trains to prep himself up for dangerous situations. He then tries to push thing further by swinging rooftops with the suit on but then passes out from exhaustion before falling off the ground. Cobra decides to go after his attacker only for Hurg to discipline and remind him who is in charge.

A strike team sent on a location of a secret laboratory goes missing in action and s the deadly secret from the notebook unleashes, Agent Haunt goes in for some bloody smackdown. He quietly entered enemy ground, kills off all the hired guards and discovered a huge pile of body parts of former agents before coming under heavy fire.

He sees them taking off after boarding all the test subjects and was able to latch onto a ledge of the plane at the last minute. When he was looking for a way to get inside, Daniel is caught off guard by Cobra and because of tiring out, he fell off the plane.

The merc followed him down as he fell from above and took him to his boss, where they beat the hell out of him to learn the secrets of his suit. Only Kurt taking over once again made him able to break out of his captivity and even managed to capture Hurg. However, the villain called in reinforcement during the interrogation in form of his war drones.

Haunt Vol 02

From the creative team of Greg Capullo (The Creech, Violator), Robert Kirkman (Battle Pope, The Walking Dead), Ryan Ottley (Grizzlyshark, Invincible) and Todd McFarlane (Image United, Spawn) comes the second storyline of the uncanny hero Haunt in his all-new supernatural adventure under the banner of Image Comics.

Even though the origin of the ectoplasmic titular being is completely supernatural, it is very hard to deny resemblance to the character with popular Spider-Man antagonist Venom who is an alien symbiote latching onto its host and grant them superpowers. Probably that has something to do with McFarlane previously working on that character.

Espionage and Intrigue

Nevertheless, the espionage aspects of the overall setting are what make the ongoing narrative more interesting as it makes progress. Lots of sub-plots working underneath will eventually come to a close and make everything meaningful in time as well.

Collecting issue #06-12 from the first monthly ongoing volume of the series, "Haunt Vol 02" is a successor of its previous arc, "Haunt Vol 01" and is followed by "Haunt Vol 03". Released in 2011, the story takes into an even gory turn than it already was and opens up possibility of more development with Capullo and Kirkman spearheading it.

The Walking Dead Vol 13 – Too Far Gone

Creator Robert Kirkman (Image United, Invincible) and artist Charlie Adlard (Judge Dredd, The X-Files) has got to the thirteenth volume of the narrative taken from the monthly ongoing The Walking Dead series from Image Comics. This particular story mostly focused on the issues caused by humans and certainly fewer Zombies were in the path of creating some big trouble. The issue #75 of this storyline features a non-canon story that come in the form of Rick’s hallucination after he was hit on his head by Michonne. The base of the plotline is that the aliens have recruited Rick and his friends after they died and turned them into super-soldier to fight an overrun Earth full of infected populace. The reason behind this story was involving a history when Robert Kirkman lied to his publisher about The Walking Dead being Aliens versus Zombies type of story to get them print it and when it became a success for what it is, Kirkman confessed about his deception to them.

Haunt Vol 01 | Comics

Catholic priest Daniel Kilgore is forced to get along with his brother Kurt Kilgore, a government agent following an accident and becomes The Haunt.

Daniel Kilgore visits prostitutes on a regular basis, has an anger-management issue, leads a sleazy life and happens to be an associate priest. When he returns to church after his usual "appointment" with a hooker, he sees his brother Kurt is here to meet him. It seems that Daniel has a sort of abhorrence for Kurt who regularly visits him for confession.

Because of the distaste he has for his brother, Daniel asks Kurt to get it done with but the latter points out that it doesn't feel like a confession this way. So, the priest agrees to bear with him and they gets inside a confessional box for the sacrament. When he is asked how many people he has killed this time the penitent, Kurt begins his narration.

He states that, unlike always he went on a covert mission for The Agency as a government agent and was sent to retrieve a genetic researcher named Dr. Shillinger from a secret research compound in Bolivia. Pretending to be a dead body, he reached there in a body-bag and found himself on the middle of a dumping ground of rotten corpse.

He sneaks on a guard before the others see him and caught into a firefight while he made it inside. He found the man he came to extract here from but the doctor insisted that they have to retrieve his test subject as well. Upon finding him running horrible genetic experiments on living test subjects, Kurt ends up killing Shillinger on spot in disgust.

Haunt Vol 01 | Comics

He prompts to rescue the heavily gross hostages and a young mutated boy from the guards of the compound and lead them out while a mysterious female figure and steals the knapsack from the dead Doctor, which has gone unnoticed by everyone. He walks out of the church at the end of his confession upon failing again to bond with his brother.

Kurt is kidnapped by an unknown party who ambushed on him and then is tortured to death during the interrogation regarding the notes of Dr. Shillinger. Daniel didn't know any of it and after attending the funeral, Kurt's ghost talks to him about go to see his widow Amanda. They argue over the matter and he thinks all of this is just in his head.

Even though he goes to visit Amanda, with whom he had a long-history before she married his brother, there is an awkward silence and they don't talk to each other much. She asks Daniel to spend the night here and so he stays anyway. Later, he wakes up on the couch at the middle of the night when Kurt's ghost came to warn him of intruders.

Daniel brushes it off considering somewhere deep inside he still misses his dead brother but he then sees two assassins came looking for him and Amanda. When they starts firing at him, Kurt quickly jumps at his confused brother and transforms him into a white, ghostly apparition who lunges at the attackers and slashed their head clean off.

They go out taking down two more waiting in the van and then Kurt instructs Daniel to call for cleanup. Amanda goes to work next morning and Kilgore heads to church despite his ghost constantly urging to go after her to assure she is safe. He ran into a hired mercenary Cobra at church, working for some unknown party and had an intense fight.

The killer makes a quick escape knowing he cannot win and Kurt leads Daniel to The Agency to get help. They take him for interrogation to know more about the death of his brother and he turns into The Haunt when he is ambushed. With so many things coming at him, he still has to discover about rogue agent Mirage and a ruthless crime-boss Mr. Hurg.

"Haunt Vol 01" is the collectible of the first five issues from a brand-new monthly ongoing Image Comics title Haunt by comic-book creator Robert Kirkman (Battle Pope, The Walking Dead) in 2010. Artists Greg Capullo (The Creech, Violator), Ryan Ottley (Grizzlyshark, Invincible) and Todd McFarlane (Image United, Spawn) also helped along.

The First Transformation

The chronicles of Daniel Kilgore goes in a fast paced series of events following the death of his estranged brother and how he is forced to take a heroic path to save the lives of the ones he love. Though an action focused series, Haunt depicts the life of the involved characters riddled with love, betrayal and ruthlessness over and towards one another.

Because of his McFarlane's work on Spider-Man for many years in past, the titular hero bears a lot of resemblance and some of the characteristics of Venom as well. The storyline serves as a "Year One" type of story for the character that will meet new challenges and unravel more mysteries from the past life of Kurt Kilgore in "Haunt Vol 02".
