The Artist: Todd MacFarlane is the mastermind behind so many childhood memories I just don’t know where to start. Creator of the world renown comic series Spawn, his art style is immediately recognizable and provokes a myriad of responses from various folk the world over.
The Writer: Kirkman has already recieved accolades on this, your most circuitus of news and culture sources. Our very own BRQ lauded the man for his genius work on Walking Dead. I’m forced to agree, as a comic writer he is in a league of his own, unparalleled.

So what have they been up to lately that would provoke written word from yours truly? Possibly the next great american comic. Haunt

Following in the footsteps of Spawn we once again have a semi-dead hero who uses a kind of symbiotic suit. Catch?  It’s two brothers.  The dead brother was part of a secret government organization and was on a hot trail to stopping some serious corruption. The living one is a priest who obviously had some serious issues with what his brother did for a living and the fact that he stole his woman. The story picks up when the dead brother begins haunting the living one and acting as his guardian angel(ghost?) now that international bad guys are on his trail. Interesting? I’d say. Right now is the perfect time to jump into this story line as the next episode is a sort of reloading, a view of the very first issue from another perspective.

Go drop $4, you won’t regret it.
