Explore the thrilling world of intrigue and supernatural suspense in this COMPLETE COLLECTION of all 28 issues from Image! Created by Robert Kirkman, Todd McFarlane, Greg Capullo, and Ryan Ottley, this collection includes exclusive bonus content like behind-the-scenes insights, a cover gallery with alternate designs, and the Image United Haunt backup story. Based around two brothers, one a less-than-perfect priest, the other a government agent, the men struggle to get along, rarely agreeing on anything.

Struggling with his own personal demons, the priest begrudgingly works alongside the spirit of his recently deceased brother, who possesses him. Together, the brothers form a new superhero, Haunt. Collects Haunt Issues #1 – 28
Robert Kirkman is an American comic book writer best known for his work on The Walking Dead, Invincible for Image Comics, as well as Ultimate X-Men and Marvel Zombies for Marvel Comics. He has also collaborated with Image Comics co-founder Todd McFarlane on the series Haunt. He is one of the five partners of Image Comics, and the only one of the five who was not one of the original co-founders of that publisher.
Robert Kirkman's first comic books were self-published under his own Funk-o-Tron label. Along with childhood friend Tony Moore, Kirkman created Battle Pope which was published in late 2001. Battle Pope ran for over 2 years along with other Funk-o-Tron published books such as InkPunks and Double Take.
In July of 2002, Robert's first work for another company began, with a 4-part SuperPatriot series for Image, along with Battle Pope backup story artist Cory Walker. Robert's creator-owned projects followed shortly thereafter, including Tech Jacket, Invincible and Walking Dead.
Haunt has a strong opener and good art in the first half, but never manages to decide what it's about or develop the characters into anything interesting.
is Danny a priest, a superhero, or a secret agent? We don't even get an attempt at an interesting answer until close to the abrupt end due to cancelation, when the writing and art are nearly incomprehensible.
4 stars for issues 1-18 with Kirkman and Capullo driving the bus. 2 stars for issues 19-28, because that was a disastrous creative team switch to Casey writing this because this was a jarring and disconnected turn.
