Ok . . again . . I'm impressed. Last issue we saw the unique relationship between Daniel and Kurt Kilgore. They're brothers, but . . they couldn't be more different. Kurt works for . . actually, worked for . . he's dead . . he worked for this CIA-type agency. We don't really know any of the specifics or anything yet, but . . it was a lot of deep-cover and wet-work jobs. After he died Daniel started seeing him. He thought it was out of guilt or remorse, but actually . . he can see and talk to him, and . . they interact. Kind of. Anyways, Daniel goes to Amanda's house, at Kurt request, to watch over her. Some people break in and when the adrenaline hits . . the 2 combine to create this Haunt. Together they quickly took out the 4 guys who broke in to Amanda's place. This issue picks up shortly after that when Daniel is freaking out, and Kurt is trying to be the voice of reason. There also seems to be a struggle with who controls this Haunt. Daniel, the living member seems to have immediate control, but . . Kurt also seems to be able to exert his will and go through the motions that he's been trained for. But he can tell when Daniel is fighting him, and their movements become awkward. Daniel doesn't really want anything to do with Kurt's life, so when they split he goes back to the church. Unfortunately, the people that are looking for Kurt have also come there to visit him. There's a merc guy there, Cobra, and he's killed father Pearson. They change again, but even his brother doesn't think they have a chance of beating him. Cobra ends up escaping, and the brothers aren't to worried about finding him. Kurt then leads Daniel to a safe-house where they use a secret entrance to get into HQ. But it looks like they were expected. 'We have a lot of questions for you, Daniel Kilgore. So please . . don't make any sudden moves.' I thought it was another great issue by Robert Kirkman, Greg Capullo, Ryan Ottley and Todd McFarlane. The dynamic between these 4 creators seems to be working well. It shows in the book. Next issue, I guess they meet someone who can explain their situation a little better. I think it's a good start to this series. I hope they can keep it up.
