Haunt Volume 10

This is Volume 10 of the Haunt series. The series was created by Spawn creator Todd McFarlane and The Walking Dead writer Robert Kirkman, published in the United States by Image Comics, with its first issue in October 2009, 28 issues in total. The story revolves around the Kilgore brothers: the younger, Daniel Kilgore, is a less than devout priest, and the elder, Kurt Kilgore, is an agent of a secret government agency. Kurt is caught up in a fatal situation because of a mission and a classified research project, and after death he haunts his brother as a ghost; when Kurt's spirit merges with Daniel's body, it forms a combat form made of ectoplasm: Haunt. The ectoplasmic suit gives its host claws, retractable tendrils and agility far beyond ordinary humans, enabling him to climb walls, swing and ambush, while Kurt can also influence the body to some extent. The two brothers, long resentful and disgusted with each other, are forced to cooperate within one body as they investigate the organization and mastermind behind Kurt's death. In the early part of the series, Ryan Ottley did the main line art, Greg Capullo the layouts, and McFarlane contributed inks; the visuals are cold and viscous, heavy with 1990s Image style. This volume belongs to the earlier story-progression stage of the series (before the creative team change at issue 19), continuing the main suspense; consult the actual book for specific plot details.
