"It's also right around then that we noticed the numbers spiking. We tag several specimens every year, of course, to track their movements. Grey wolves, Dr. Stone. Their numbers surged in the area within a week. I've never seen anything like it. At night, the hills were black with them. They made their way into fish village. All of them. As though they were drawn there. And then this. This terrible thing. We assume you'll want to leave right away."

While I wait for the final issues of Scott Snyder's Clear (comiXology Originals) #1 and Night of the Ghoul (comiXology Originals) #1 I thought I'd check out this supernatural mystery series from 2010, the whole of which is currently free on Amazon for Kindle.

Dr. Ishmael Stone is a detective, a monster hunter, and a philosopher. His team comprised of his half-ghost/half-witch daughter Amara Stone, master of mystic weapons Wilbur Branch, mysterious monster detector Blind Jack, and smooth-talking mentalist Martin Priest.

This is a full flashback issue, detailing Dr. Stone travelling alone to a remote Alaskan Wildlife Management Outpost where strange goings on have the locals on edge. He must battle possessed children but is reluctant to fight back. However, an ally comes from an unexpected source and we find out how one of the team joined up with Stone.

A more rounded issue with a self contained story. 3 1/2 stars

Did not foresee the ending.

Arcana comics freebie. Suitable for teens and adults. Good color artwork. The millers borrow from others. But do it well. Each book feels like it should be a few pages longer.
