After Kurt gets killed, he shows up and persuades Daniel to go warn Amanda, Kurt’s widow. During the save operation, Daniel and Kurt merge to create Haunt and end up battling the men that killed Kurt. At first they’re fighting, which is to be expected, but that seems to get shelved pretty quickly throughout the first five-issue run.
Ryan Ottley (a frequent Kirkman collaborator) and Greg Capullo draw the comics and do a bang-up job of presenting action and emotion throughout the panels. The world feels big and fast as they present the stories, and I enjoyed what I saw a lot.
Haunt leaves me kind of torn (haunts me, perhaps?). On one hand, it’s a fun ride filled with violence and melodrama, but on the other it just doesn’t feel too terribly original. I’ll pick up the second volume to keep up with the story, but I’m not compelled to go find it immediately.
